Incorporated in 1907 in West Virginia by coal baron E. E. White, the E. E. White Coal Company operated he Glen White and Stotesbury mining camps, which were built just before World War I. The two mines were back to back on the same lease from Beaver Coal Company. The Glen White mine, one of the few shaft mines in the Winding Gulf Coalfield, closed in 1945. The first shipments of coal from the Glen White mines were made during the year ending June 30, 1908 by the E. E. White Coal Company. The company's two shaft mines, Nos. 1 & 2, were located on the Glen White Branch of the Virginia Railway. The mines worked the Beckley seam, with thickness of 5 feet 8 inches. During the year ending June 30, 1913, mining was done by 140 pick miners and 25 machine miners; haulage was by six 6 ton Westinghouse and four 10 ton electric motors.
The coal was shipped to tidewater for steam purposes. The daily capacity of the colliery was 1000 tons. The mine employed 275 workers. The region named Glen White in central Raleigh County, West Virginia is an unincorporated community and a former coal mining town developed in the early-1900's. The community was named by E. E. White, an industrialist who developed mines at Glen White and lived in a large residence overlooking the community. The White Mansion is listed on the Raleigh County Register of Historic Places.
