Enforcement Of Federal Coal Mine Health And Safety Regulations, Madison Mcculloch Jun 1975

Enforcement Of Federal Coal Mine Health And Safety Regulations, Madison Mcculloch

West Virginia Law Review

By now most people are aware of the fact that the federal government, through the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, invited itself to become a party to the business of mining coal. A mining disaster near Farmington, West Virginia, in 1968, causing the death of seventy-eight miners, was the prime mover for the enactment of this legislation. The Act was labeled by one of its authors as "not only one of the most important pieces of legislation of this or any other Congress it is one of the most complex pieces of legislation ever enacted." For …

State And Local Taxation Of The Bituminous Coal Industry, James H. Thompson Apr 1974

State And Local Taxation Of The Bituminous Coal Industry, James H. Thompson

West Virginia Law Review

Few industries have presented more troublesome problems for legislators and tax administrators alike, over the years, than has bituminous coal. There are two principal reasons for this. One stems from the physical character of this resource. Lying hidden beneath the earth's surface, coal deposits not only represent an asset of uncertain worth, but also one the value of which will gradually decline as mining activity proceeds. Consequently, the task of making equitable assessments for property tax purposes would be a difficult one even for an experienced mining engineer, and sometimes may verge on the impossible for an untrained local assessor. …

Adverse Possession Of Severable Minerals, William B. Stoebuck Apr 1966

Adverse Possession Of Severable Minerals, William B. Stoebuck

West Virginia Law Review

The subject of adverse possession is attended by such mystery that one might think it traceable to the druidic rather than late medieval period of English history. Existence of this mystery, needless as it may be, makes it worthwhile for any article on adverse possession to commence by establishing some basic concepts. Foremost among these is that, as understood today, adverse possession of another's land for the period of the statute limiting his right to recover it not only bars his remedy but creates in the disseisor an original title in fee simple. Thus, adverse possession gives the wrongful possessor …
