FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2002 The Hopi Tribe of Arizona will not allow mining to continue in the Black Mesa until a dispute over water can be resolved, a spokesperson told the Associated Press. Peabody Energy has mined coal in the Black Mesa for more than 30 years and transferred it to a generating station hundreds of miles away using water drawn from a local aquifer. The tribe is worried the supply will run out wants an alternate source tapped. The disagreement could halt renewal of the tribe's contract, scheduled to end in 2005. Get the Story:
