Per my trusty New York Times Mirror dictionary, fines are " not coarse:in very small particles (fine sand)"
It is my understanding that the power plants that buy the coal we see coming out of PRB grind it rather fine and blow it into their burners; exploding. Responses expected.
The tourist operations, such as my favorite Cumbres & Toltec Scenic, buy similar mixes of all sizes. (The lump in my memorabilia was carefully cleaned before I was allowed to show it)
