DENBO, PA (VESTA NO. 6)
Concrete-lined haulageway in the Vesta No. 6 coal mine.
Latter day scene in Denbo, Pa.
The biggest section of the Denbo patch for housing the miners of Jones & Laughlin Steel Co.'s Vesta No. 6 mine there.
Another scene from the Denbo patch town.
Vesta No. 6, along the Monongahela River. Apparently nothing remains from the Vesta No. 6 coal mine, just the patch houses.
Coke from the Vesta mines was barged down the Monongahela River
to Jones & Laughlin Steel's giant beehive coke plant in the Hazlewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, shown here.
