Shelburn Mine Receivership Court Action in Bloomfield
In Bloomfield Judge Henderson heard receiver A C Renick seek authority to borrow funds on Heisen mine assets to cover costs since receivership began. The petition was denied, but an order allowed borrowing on A H Whitsett’s interest, which lacks bankable standing. Workers have not been paid since July 10 and the mine risks gas buildup and explosion without ventilation.
