Show I Emery County Progress Dealing in coal products Things look bad for hospital reopening New firm to set up Despite a bleak economic picture, things are looking up a little for Carbon County as a new company is scheduled to begin production in Price this month. The company, American Resins Corp., will make use of the resins that are found exclusively in Utah coal. The million-dolla- r plant will employ about eight people. The formation of the firm marks the first joint venture between Roy Simmons, chairman of Zions Bank and Trust Co., two partners associated with Morgan Stanley Co., and the Guggenheim family of New York. E. Richard Nightingale serves as the president of American Resins and Thomas K. McNeil is executive vice president of the firm. American Resins has already leased a building in Price and preparations have been under way for four months for its opening. Nightingale developed the resin recovery process. He says the only recoverable deposits in the world are found along the Wasatch Plateau and centered in Price.

The good news is that the company has signed a five-year contract with Southern California Edison to supply coal for the utilitys Cool Water Coal Gasification Power Plant near Barstow, Calif. The bad news is that the contract falls short of replacing one lost earlier this year with the Salt River Power Plant in Arizona. The California contract, according to Coastal States Senior Vice President Leo C. Smith, calls for the mining firm to provide an initial yearly supply of coal of 200,000 tons to Copper Corp. from 1963 until its acquisition by Sohio in 1978. The Guggenheim family is not new to Utah. It was this family that helped finance the formation of the Utah Copper Co. and they also founded the the Smelting and Lawson-Johnso- n is of the founder of the Guggenheim dynasty.

Ken Holum, general manager of the Washington, D.C., based organization, said last week at Western Fuels annual meeting here that coal billings to electricity generating members exceeded $120 million in 1982, up from about $86 million in 1981. But Holum said the total includes transportation charges exceeding $40 million. Western Fuels has taken Burlington Northern Railroad to court in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, Wyo., alleging breach of contract and violation of antitrust laws, he said. To achieve effective and competitive pricing, for Powder River Basin coal and for all coal dependent on a single railroad for transport, we have alleged that the BN has violated the antitrust laws, Holum said. Every coal producer and every utility has a huge stake in our effort. Burlington Northern operates the rail line out of the coal-ric- h Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming. Western Fuels buys coal from major coal companies in the Powder River Basin and delivers it to member electric power utilities, such as the Platte River Power Authority in Colorado and the Basin Electric Power Cooperative, which operates the Laramie River Station power plant near coal-burni- ng Wheatland, Wyo.

But Smith says the deal to provide California Edison with coal for its new project will allow the company to keep its workforce at the SUFCO mine busy, despite the overall slow coal market. Smith said Coastal lost the Salt River contract when the Arizona utility turned to mines in New Mexico and Arizona for coal that was cheaper because of shipping costs.

The mine is just across' the border from Rangely, Colo. We tend to give special attention to the projects that Western Fuels has financed and built (such as Brushy Creek Mine in southern Illinois and Deserado), said Stanley K. Bezant of Albuquerque, N.M., president of Western Fuels. But they produce only a comparatively small part of the fuel that we deliver and will deliver to our members. In 1982, Western Fuels delivered coal from one mine under its control and purchased and delivered coal from six others owned and mined by major coal companies in the Powder River Basin.
