In 1985 Arch began winding down operations at Seminoe I and Medicine Bow. But while old operations were closing, new ones were opening. At the Captain Mine in Illinois, management unveiled the underground Kathleen mine to help meet obligations. At the end of 1985 Arch of Illinois acquired the Leahy mine from Amax and the following year opened the Horse Creek mine three miles northeast of the Captain mine.
Still on the acquisition trail, in the fall of 1985, Heckman and Samples began negotiating to buy troubled Diamond Shamrock's coal operation. With reserves of six or seven hundred million tons, including the4 Falcon Coal Company in eastern Kentucky, the Amherst Coal Company in West Virginia, and the Trail Mountain Coal Company in Utah, Diamond Shamrock would lift Arch into the ranks of major coal companies. After problem-filled, on-again-off-again negotiations, Arch paid &Dollar;135 million for Diamond Shamrock Coal in 1987.
To make the Diamond Shamrock properties profitable, Arch followed the pattern it established with previous acquisitions. According to Coal, Arch took "once underutilized operations typically running at high costs with low productivity," trimmed Diamond Shamrock's costs "by as much as two-thirds," and increased productivity by "three-fold or more." In practice this meant introducing young management teams, initiating safety and employee communications programs, commencing management development programs, revamping labor relations, and working to instill pride in employees.
An example of Arch's efforts could be observed at the North Fork, which, under Diamond Shamrock, was hamstrung with labor and contractor agreements, diminishing reserves, and high costs. Arch ended an expensive cost-plus contract with truckers and offered a purchase agreement on which truckers bid. For miners, it imposed a new agreement despite a two-and-a-half week strike. "At no time," Arch on the North Fork President Ron Gaudiano told Coal, "were there surprises. Everything we did was up-front and was told to our employees verbally and in writing. We communicated with them and built a trust. They may not have liked what we were saying, but they appreciated being told. That continues today."
The U.S. Steel and Diamond Shamrock acquisitions dramatically increased Arch's presence in Appalachia. In 188 Arch created Catenary Coal "primarily, " Catenary president Gerald Peacock explained in Coal, "to develop contractor operations on isolated small pockets of [Appalachian] reserves that do not lend themselves to large operations, and whose coals can be shipped primarily raw."
By June of 1989 Arch Mineral was producing 23 million tons of coal annually. It had acquired more reserves from Lawson Hamilton properties and in July of 1989, Arch of Wyoming acquired the Stansbury mine in Wyoming from Bitter Creek Resources. Growth continued with the acquisition of Blue Diamond Coal, and in April of 1991, Arch and the University of Kentucky resolved a long-running dispute that previously prevented Arch from mining lands adjacent to a University forest research project.
By 1992 Arch was one of the country's leading and fastest-growing coal producers. Perhaps the only cloud on its horizon was the Clean Air Act, which might cause some clients to reassess their use of Arch of Illinois's high sulfur coal. Company officials however did not seem to be worried. Steve Carter, head of marketing for the expanding company, told Coal, "The feeling here at Arch is that the effect of the act will be less than some other producers believe. Much of our high-sulfur coal, which comes primarily from the Illinois operations, is already going to utilities equipped with scrubbers. We think too, that many Midwestern utilities that are potential customers for our Illinois coal will opt for the use of scrubbers."
