Inside the Number 10 Mine at Whitby WV


I want to personally thank Steve Lester for sharing the wonderful pics below. These pics represent the inside of the Smith and Stover Mine as well as the Number 10 Sterling Smokeless Mine at Whitby WV. The time period would be the late 1960's or mid 1970's. NOTE: This is a DRAFT page and as suh there will be many corrections which I look forward to. The more corrections I get, the more I learn!

Below is Steve Lester at the Smith and Stover Mines at Whitby WV. You will note that unlike the Number 10 Sterling Smokeless mine at Whitby, the Smith and Stover mine was a low top. See that Steve is wearing knee pads.
