Blackjewel's Eagle Butte Mine

Heavy equipment is seen working all around a large open pit at the Eagle Butte coal mine just north of Gillette. Blackjewel's Eagle Butte Mine was one of two closed this week as the company filed for bankruptcy. More than 600 workers at the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayre mines lost their jobs with the action.
