Ironton, Ohio Coke Plant

Been researching a bit on the Semet-Solvay Coke Plant in Ironton. One
potential key to the N&W involvement is that Semet-Solvay operated its own
mines in West Virginia for a substantial portion of its coal supply.

The mines I could fine that Semet-Solvay owned were in Tralee, Longacre,
Kingston and one down in a place called "Boomer" near Montgomery, WVa in
Fayette, County.

I'll defer to our Pokey coal field experts to confirm if any of these were
on the N&W.

Hope this helps,

Eric
