Underground at Old Ben number eight mine. These men are on a "man-trip" which goes three and half miles to the face of the coal. General caption: Most of the giant coal producers in Franklin Couny have completely mechanized underground operations. Old Ben number eight, because of shortage of working capital, has not been able to install loading machines to handle the entire output of the mine. Accordingly, the mine still uses the now obsolete pit car loader, and even employs a few hand loaders alongside modern, highly efficient automatic loading machines
