Catenary Coal Holdings Inc history

In June of 1971 Heckman wrote a memo to Herbert Hunt and Ashland's Buck Weaver suggesting the possible availability of Southwestern Illinois Coal Company.

In 1975 the Medicine Bow mine opened and profits soared to &Dollar;27 million on sales of &Dollar;116 million.

Nonunion operations in Wyoming worked over time, though, and in June of 1978, Arch reported profits of &Dollar;14.1 million on sales of &Dollar;156.8 million.

In 1984 they paid &Dollar;145 million for troubled United States Steel's coal business.

After problem-filled, on-again-off-again negotiations, Arch paid &Dollar;135 million for Diamond Shamrock Coal in 1987.

Growth continued with the acquisition of Blue Diamond Coal, and in April of 1991, Arch and the University of Kentucky resolved a long-running dispute that previously prevented Arch from mining lands adjacent to a University forest research project. It had acquired more reserves from Lawson Hamilton properties and in July of 1989, Arch of Wyoming acquired the Stansbury mine in Wyoming from Bitter Creek Resources.
