Golden Spike Days of 1940, to be held in
Omaha May 15 through 18, will be days
and nights packed with brilliant spectacle,
gay merry - making, hilarious nonsense
and scores of educational and entertain
ment features.
Gracie Allen and George Bums, radio,
stage and screen comedians, will head
line this great civic show—Everybody's
Party I
Eyes of Nation on Omaha
The entire nation will have its eyes on
Omaha when Gracie starts her presiden
tial stumping tour, complete with rear
platform speeches and red fire, a week
in advance of Golden Spike Days. Gracie
and George will be in Omaha five days
to turn this city into the amusement cen
ter of the country ... The comedy pair will
present two nationwide broadcasts before
tens of thousands of Golden Spike Days
celebrants. And to top the whole thing,
Gracie will hold her national Surprise
Party convention in Omaha during Gold
en Spike Days as only Gracie knows how
to do such things 1
A city of a quarter of a million people will
be costumed for the extravaganza. Wom
en will wear gay attractive dresses—the
men will don frock coats and tall beaver
hats popular in the midwest's early days
. . . Omaha firms will "dress up" with
oldtime fronts, historical window displays
and special decorations of all kinds. The
entire city will be elaborately decorated.
More than 25,000 bewhiskered men will,
to use a Gracie Allen gag, literally sweep
Gracie into office! . . . The whisker clubs
will hold a gigantic jamboree early in
the celebration. Gracie herself will lead
the whisker clubs torchlight parade, des
tined to be one of the most colorful spec
tacles of the whole show. The men with
the hirsute chin decorations will partici
pate in many other events during Golden
Spike Days!
Big Indian Show
There will be a combined Indian encamp
ment and mammoth historical exposition
. . . More than a score of Indians and
their families in full costumes will present
colorful tribal dances. The museum will
include authentic early West museum
pieces gathered from all parts of the
country.
Four sparkling parades will include a mil
itary parade replete with representatives
of all the nation's armed forces marching
to martial airs . . . There will be a parade
of visiting bands and drum corps from
five midwestern states combined with, an
unusual mummers' parade featuring gi
gantic comic strip and Mother Goose
characters ... A patriotic theme parade
will glorify the old days and American
ways!
Costume Ball a Feature
Other highlights will include a huge cos
tume ball to the music of a nationally
famous orchestra, street dances in down
town Omaha, a community playday and
sing, a two-day horse and dog show, a
luncheon for distinguished guests and
visitors, and many other entertainment
features.
An actual traffic count last year showed
102,000 people came to Omaha during
Golden Spike Days and thousands more
came by bus, by rail and by airplane.
Golden Spike Days of 1940 will really
attract people to Omaha!
Omaha has become known as the city of
enterprise and showmanship—and Oma
ha will get another boost during Golden
Spike Days of 19401

This celebration was planned under the auspices of
the Junior Old Timers of the Railroad, together with
members of the Rock Springs Chamber of Com
merce. The Union Pacific Coal Company, and
others.
The parade started from the Union Pacific Rail
road’s freight depot at 9:30 a. m., moving on South
Front Street, then over the “C” Street crossing onto
Elk Street, Bridger Avenue, Pilot Butte Avenue.
“K” Street, North Front Street, and back to the
freight depot, where it disbanded. The parade was
one of the largest and most colorful ever held in
Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com
posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by
McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band.
One of the outstanding floats in the parade was
that of the American Legion's 40 and 8, depicting
a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8
locomotive, which won first prize. The second and
third prize winners were those of the Improved
Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout
Troop 99, respectively.
by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris.
Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a
musical director, furnishing music while awaiting
the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special.
The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs
High School Band also participated in the parade,
together with many automobiles and people march
ing.
After the parade disbanded, the people moved en
masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de
pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe
cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s
band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also
played some stirring airs.
As the cry went up from the assembled crowd
"Here she comes,’’ the train pulled in slowly, the
Kiltie Band playing ‘‘The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie
making the remark that she noticed the Kilties
were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy
with George.

Old Timers, as well as Mr. I. N. Bayless, boarded
the train. Judge Taliaferro remarked that the
Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was
arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the
presentation speech, which he did in a very happy
vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo,
which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham.

winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of
Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream.
The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the
largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs
met the train and was present during the program.
The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a
special car which had been provided for their
transportation. The train made a stop in Chey
enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on
an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited
the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and gpent a
couple of hours entertaining the patients. They
paraded in Denver, Colorado, Monday morning
at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North
Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They
arrived in 0maha.__AL4---p.m. Tuesday, May 14th.
where they"piped Gracie into the station.
Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday
were taken up with serenading at various orphan
ages, hospitals and other institutions.
Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with
19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly
of infantry and mechanized units of United States
army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties
presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’
Town and in the evening led the parade of the
Omaha Whisker club.
Participation in another parade occupied atten
tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and
that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise
Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre
sented before an estimated crowd of more than
10,000 people.
Inclement weather Saturday again forced can
cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for
the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren
aded visitors and employes at the headquarters
building of the Union Pacific railroad.
En route to Rock Springs they presented a short
concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey
enne.
After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special,
the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day,
with various contests and a street dance on Elias
Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax
with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore
in the evening.
June, 1940
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in
session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso
lution :
'Resolved — that the Flag of the United
States be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and
white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a
Blue Field, representing a new Constellation?
That Constellation, originally consisting of thir
teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue
Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate
means of informing the people of all Nations of
the sustained and continuous progress which has
been made toward insuring the permanent secur
ity and contentment of the American people.
The Fourth of July is the most appropriate day
for the Nation and its people to give adequate ex
pression in their homes and in public to their tra
ditionally deep patriotism and their enduring al
legiance to the Stars and Stripes.

Just to represent the Chamber in a lawful way,
‘■Jimmie,” though still wearing his kilts, dropped
his Scottish name of "Davidson” for the moment,
falling back on his customary clan name. Drum
Sergeant ‘‘Davidson,” however, speaking for citi
zen Davis, insisted that his fellow Scotsmen, with
their gay Royal Stewart Tartans, sporrans, and Glengary bonnets, be included in the picture made by
Mr. Coons, staff photographer of the Union Pacific
Railroad. Mr. Jeffers made his usual gracious re
sponse to the speech of presentation, shaking hands
with and complimenting each of the Kilties on their
fine playing. The Spike, it will be recalled, was a
prominent feature in the Golden Spike parade held
at Rock Springs, Saturday, May 11th.
“All the wild ideas of unbalanced agitators the
world over in their ignorant and pitiable quest
for happiness through revolution, confiscation of
property, and crime cannot overthrow the eternal
truth that the one route to happiness through prop
erty or government is the broad and open highway
of service. And service always means industry,
thrift, respect for authority and recognition of the
rights of others.”—William G. Sibley.

�FORE
_Lhe Board of Trustees of the Bishop Clarkson
Memorial Hospital commends this book to
you for the sole purpose of making known
what a modern hospital has to offer to the
physically and mentally sick.
The science of medicine is forever push
ing out and onward into new fields, to bring
comfort, relief and permanent cure to the ills
of mankind. Since life is ever becoming more
complicated, the ills that attack life are ever
becoming more complex. The hospitals them
selves must offer to the patient every possi
ble form of aid. We somehow think that our
hospital is very modern in every field of med
ical enterprise.
The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital
has one of the most learned staffs of any hos
pital of its size in this part of the country. To
offer the best in nursing and medical skill has
ever been uppermost in the minds of the
trustees. To do this, we added in 1937 a new
department to the already skillful and up-todate existing departments, and that is the
department of psychiatry. It has long been
the opinion of men competent to judge that
the ills of the mind are on the increase.
We commend this book to you, and we
hope that you will make known to your
friends and acquaintances what our hospital
has to offer, expertly, in the way of medical
care.

DRIVING OF
"THE GOLDEN SPIKE"
Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869
�The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital
T
-L t seems appropriate at a time when the citizens of
Omaha and the whole west are celebrating the
"Driving of the Golden Spike” and the first showing
of the great moving picture "Union Pacific,” to make
reference to another pioneer institution of Omaha,
Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital.
While the building of the first transcontinental
railroad from Omaha to the state of California,
(thus carrying out the plans of President Abraham
Lincoln), differs in form and magnitude from the
creation of Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, there
is a sufficient similarity to justify comparison. Both
institutions- were conceived, planned, constructed,
and are carried on to render a service to humanity.
The Union Pacific Railroad reached Promontory
Point, Utah, in 1869, and on May 10, of that year the
Golden Spike which united the line from the east
with that from the west, was driven, and rail com
munication across the continent became a reality. In
that same year the first Omaha hospital had its hum
ble beginning, and like the great Union Pacific it too
has grown with the years.
The first hospital in Omaha, the forerunner of the
splendid institution of today, was built in 1869, on a
lot owned by the city and located near the corner of
Webster and Twenty-third Streets. The building was
a small one, containing but six rooms. Opened for
patients in March, 1870, under the name of the "Good
Samaritan,” a committee of Christian women, repre
senting nearly every church denomination in the city,
personally assumed the care of the patients and the
management of the hospital, serving as nurses, in
spectors, and general providers, a few kindly physi
cians rendering medical service without charge.
Step by step the work went forward until it was
eventually turned over to the Right Reverend Robert
Harper Clarkson, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Nebraska, who succeeded in erecting the
first permanent hospital in the city located at 1716
Dodge Street. This hospital was formally dedicated
December 13, 1883. Larger and more commodious
buildings were secured through the years, this con
tinuing effort culminating in the purchase and re
building of the present splendid edifice located at
�HOSPITAL ATTACHES dressed for
Golden Spike celebration
�26th and Dewey Streets, which was formally opened
for service on May 15, 1936.
The present hospital, located near the Farnam
Street car line, within convenient distance from the
down town as well as the principal residence dis
tricts, ranks in equipment with the more modern hos
pitals in the west.
With a staff of more than fifty of the city's lead
ing physicians and surgeons and with seventy-five
more high class professional men on its accepted list,
medical and surgical service of the highest order is
available to patients. Among some of the more con
spicuous features of the hospital might be noted:
Five operating rooms for surgical service.
A thoroughly equipped Psychiatry Depart
ment.
A modern Fever Therapy Department.
A fully equipped X-ray and Deep-X-rayTherapy Department.
A modem pathological Department, directed
by competent pathologists and a staff of
technicians.
Every room is equipped with Simmons hos
pital beds, an innerspring mattress, over
top table and individual equipment.
A daily menu is provided, each adult patient
selecting his or her choice of food.
The hospital is equipped with two electric
steam-driven generators, thus providing
electric light and power, which, located
wholly within the building, is not subject
to failure by wind or sleet storms. A selfcontained laundry with a water softener
plant insures an ample supply of fresh lin
en at all times.
We have referred to our splendid staff of physi
cians and surgeons. Back of this first line is a corps of
more than a hundred supervisors, trained technicians
and nurses, men and women who have dedicated
their lives to the service of the sick and afflicted.
Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital is conducted
under the auspices of the Church, its staff and those
whom it serves includes Protestant, Roman Catholic
and Jewish men and women. Bishop Clarkson Mem
orial Hospital is dedicated to the service of God and
humanity and is not a profit-making institution.
When you come to Omaha April 26th to 29th, to
do honor to the great railroad that was the forerunner
of all transcontinental lines, and to celebrate the sev
entieth anniversary of the driving of the Golden
Spike, or on any subsequent occasion, do not fail to
visit Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, whose fore
runner undertook the work of caring for the sick of
Omaha the year the Golden Spike was driven.

Grade Welcomed to
Rock Springs By
Record Crowd
j
Rock Springs thinks Gracie Allen
is a little nutty, but nice after a rec
ord-breaking crowd, estimated' be
tween 5,000 and 6,000, jammed the
depot yard Saturday morning to
hear her deliver a campaign address.
Presented with a kangaroo made
of Rock Springs coal and made wel
come to the city by Police Judge A.
iL. Taliaferro, Junior Old1 Timer
President Ole Knudsen and General
(Union Pacific Coal company Mana
ger I. N. Bayless, Gracie said: “I
like all miners and those over 21,
too.”
.Gracie’s campaign speech, though
a trifle incoherent, left the bright
ly-garbed crowd snickering in the
pleasant spring weather.
With an impish grin, Gracie re
marked upon first seeing McAu
liffe’s Kiltie band, who boarded the
train to help Gracie with her cam
paign, “Well, I see the Kiltie band
is wearing its ipants at half-mast in
honor of George Burns.”
Gracie is conducting her campaign
on the “Surprise Party” ticket for
i president on the basis that there
'should1 be a woman in the1 White
House, in fact Gracie feels that
women have always been tho real
rulers of the land but that the men
get all the credit.
“Why, take Martha Washington,”
the irrepressible radio and screen
comedian remarked, "she ran at can
dy store while her husband was pres
ident because she couldn’t fly to
Seattle each week.”
George Burns, stooge husband of
the dizzy dame, when ifltroduced,
thanked1 everyone for listening to
'Gracie. Truman Bradley, radio an
nouncer on Gracie’s program, was
also introduced and made a few
brief remarks.
Preceding the arrival of the spe
cial, one of the finest parades ever
presented in Rock Springs was view
ed by a crowd which packed . the
sidewalks all along the parade; route.
Bands, floats and1 gaily-garbed in
dividuals made the scene one of the
■brightest' ever presented In Ro.ck
Springs as well as the noisest.
Winners in the float and costume
contests were the 40 and 8 floats,
first prize of $50; Improved Order
of Redmen, second prize of $25, and
third prize, Boy Scout troop No. 99;
Mrs. William Pecolar and Bill O’Far
rell won first costume prizes of $5,
with Mrs. George Cornford and' How
ell Powell, the second prize $3 win
ners; Elsie .Mae Crofts and Agnes
'Carter won the $3 and $2 chil
dren’s prizes.
Traffic congestion on the high
way where the bicycle races were
scheduled to be held made that part
of the program impossible. The en
trants spit the prize money and were
disbanded.
The prizes for the floats and cos
tumes were awarded-at the street
dance held later in the aftrnoon on
Elias avnue just off Pilot Butte. The
big Golden Spike ball held at’ the
Playmoire that evening attracted a
record-breaking crowd.

Rock Springs Celebrates Golden Spike Day
May 11 th, was a memorable clay in
Then followed The Union Pacific Coal Com
This celebration was planned under the auspices of
the Junior Old Timers of the Railroad, together with
members of the Rock Springs Chamber of Com
merce. The Union Pacific Coal Company, and
others.
The parade started from the Union Pacific Rail
road’s freight depot al 9:30 a. m.. moving on South
Front Street, then over the “C” Street crossing onto
Elk Street, Bridger Avenue, Pilot Butte Avenue,
“K” Street. North Front Street, and back to the
freight depot, where it disbanded. The parade was
one of the largest and most colorful ever held in
Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com
posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by
McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band.
One of the outstanding floats in the parade was
that of the American Legion’s 40 and 8. depicting
a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8
locomotive, which won first prize. The second and
third prize winners were those of the Improved
Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout
Troop 99, respectively.
by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris.
Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a
musical director, furnishing music while awaiting
the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special.
The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs
High School Band also participated in the parade,
together with many automobiles and people march
ing.
After the parade disbanded, the people moved en
masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de
pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe
cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s
band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also
played some stirring airs.
As the cry went up from the assembled crowd
"Here she comes.” the train pulled in slowly, the
Kiltie Band playing "The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie
making the remark that she noticed the Kilties
were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy
with George.

Old Timers, as well as Mr. I. N. Bayless, boarded
the train. Judge Taliaferro remarked that the
Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was
arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the
presentation speech, which he did in a very happy
vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo,
which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham,
and was fashioned of the famous Rock Springs
coal. A short talk was made by Gracie, who re
marked she was thrilled to look into their wideopen faces. George Burns also made a few remarks,
winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of
Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream.
The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the
largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs
met the train and w'as present during the program.
The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a
special car which had been provided for their
transportation. The train made a stop in Chey
enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on
an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited
the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and spent a
couple of hours entertaining the patients. They
paraded in Denver. Colorado. Monday morning
at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North
Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They
arrived in Omaha at 4 p. m. Tuesday, May 14th,
where they piped Gracie into the station.
Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday
were taken up with serenading at various orphan
ages, hospitals and other institutions.
Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with
19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly
of infantry and mechanized units of United States
army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties
presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’
Town and in the evening led the parade of the
Omaha Whisker club.
Participation in another parade occupied atten
tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and
that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise
Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre
sented before an estimated crowd of more than
10,000 people.
Inclement weather Saturday again forced can
cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for
the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren
aded visitors and employes at the headquarters
building of the Union Pacific railroad.
En route to Rock Springs they presented a short
concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey
enne.
After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special,
the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day,
with various contests and a street dance on Elias
Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax
with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore
in the evening.
On June 14, 1777. the Continental Congress in
session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso
lution :
‘Resolved — that the Flag of the United
Stales be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and
white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a
Blue Field, representing a new Constellation.’
That Constellation, originally consisting of thir
teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue
Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate
means of informing the people of all Nations of
the sustained and continuous progress which has
been made toward insuring the permanent secur
ity and contentment of the American people.
The Fourth of July is the most appropriate day
for the Nation and its people to give adequate ex
pression in their homes and in public to their tra
ditionally deep patriotism and their enduring al
legiance to the Stars and Stripes.

“The only worthwhile things that have come
to us in this life have come through work that was
almost always hard, and often bitter. We believe
that this has always been true of mankind and that
it will always be true. We believe not in how little
work, but how much; not in how few hours, but
how many. America must not grow soft!”—].

Presentation of Golden Spike
to President W. M. Jeffers by
the Chamber of Commerce at
Rock Springs, Woming
he
immense Golden Spike, some nine feet in
length and built in proportion throughout, of
T
golden color, and bearing the autograph signatures
of the business men of Rock Springs, which was
sent to Omaha by the Rock Springs Chamber of
Commerce, was formally presented to President
First Row—Left to right: Alex Davidson, John
Hartney, IT'. M. Jeffers. James Davis, Arthur An
derson. Ernest Adams. R. R. Menghini.
Second Row—Left to right: Matt Steffensen, An
drew Hamilton, IT'ilford French, John Brimley,
Charles Gregory. Alex IFatt, Robert Hall.
Just to represent the Chamber in a lawful way,
“Jimmie.” though still wearing his kilts, dropped
his Scottish name of “Davidson” for the moment,
falling back on his customary clan name. Drum
Sergeant “Davidson,” however, speaking for citi
zen Davis, insisted that his fellow Scotsmen, with
their gay Royal Stewart Tartans, sporrans, and Glen
gary bonnets, be included in the picture made by
Mr. Coons, staff photographer of the Union Pacific
Railroad. Mr. Jeffers made his usual gracious re
sponse to the speech of presentation, shaking handwith and complimenting each of the Kilties on theii
fine playing. The Spike, it will be recalled, was a
prominent feature in the Golden Spike parade held
at Bock Springs, Saturday. May 11th.
“All the wild ideas of unbalanced agitators the
world over in their ignorant and pitiable quest
for happiness through revolution, confiscation of
property, and crime cannot overthrow the eternal
truth that the one route to happiness through prop
erty or government is the broad and open highway
of service. And service always mean- industry,
thrift, respect for authority and recognition of the
rights of others.”—IT'illiam G. Sibley.

Gentlemen:
Mr. Chu Chiao, a student from China, is returning
to China. He is a metallurgical student hut has taken some
work in coal mining. He would like to see some actual coal
mining, especially coal cutters, coal loaders, transportation,
ventilation and tipple equipment. He is traveling to Seattle,
over the Union Pacific via Portland, and I have suggested
to him that he stop off at Rock Springs on Monday, January 27th
Will it be possible for him to see some of your
operations? It will be greatly appreciated by him and also
by us here at the School of Mines. There will probably not
be time for an exchange of letters before he leaves Minneapolis
but I will give him a letter of introduction and tell him to go
to your office in Rock Springs.
Yours sincerely,

We have your letter of August 10th, with
reference to forwarding any mail received here for
the Chinese engineers.
Yesterday we forwarded one letter which had
been received from Chao Shou-yen from Salt Lake City,
Utah, addressed to this Company, with the request that
we hold for the arrival of a Chinese engineer (no record
of name) but who failed to arrive in Rock Springs. This
was sent to you at the I-iauto Coal Company, Nesquehoning,
Pennsylvania. This is the only mail we have received
that has not been delivered direct.

Lir. Io N. Bayless:
Kindly refer to your letter of date July 19$ 1946, file
OSO-3$ requesting short resume of the visit of Chinese engineers
to our mines.
The second group of four arranged for through Pierce Manage
ment, Inc, arrived at Rock Springs on date July 8, 1946, the names
of the young engineers being as follows:
Tzu Rai Chuan and Yang Ming-Shu.
Chao Shou-yen, Uei Liang,
The young men stated that they
were all residents of north China (definitely not Cantonese) and
that their activities on return to China would be management of mines
in Manchuriao
The four men were assigned to Resident Engineers Gasper at
Reliance and Lebar at Stansbury and they spent the period of July
9th, 10th, 11th and 12th underground at the above-mentioned properties.
They also visited the Power Plant at Rock Springs and the Engineering
Department at the Rock Springs Beadquarters Building,
Our impression of the group from the numerous questions pro
pounded is that they are much more interested in cost figures, which
we do not divulge, than they arc in actual technique of mechanical
mining.
It would appear that their duties in their homeland are
more that of cost accounting than planning and supervision of work.

JULY 13, 1946
Properties of The Union Pacific
Coal company in the Rock Springs
area were being inspected this
week by a group of four Chinese
graduate mining engineers from
North China,
Included in the group are Chao
Shcu-yen, Wei Liang, Tzu Nai
Chuan and Yang Ming-Shu. They
will leave today for Castle Gate,
Utah, to inspect coal mines in that
vicinity.
The four men are part of a group
of 12 Chinese engineers who are
towing coal mining properties
throughout the United States to
learn the various phases of me
chanical mining for adoption in
their own country.
The engineers represent coal
companies and Chinese government
mines which are producing bitu
minous metallurgical coal in north
China. They report a deposit of
coal there having a 450-foot seam,
and assert that the coal is being
mined entirely by hand, with op

subten-anean and open-pit mining
processes.

�Rock Springs - June 22, 1946
Ur. I. No Bayless;
Referring to your recent letter concerning the visit of a
number of Chinese arranged through Pierce Management of Scranton,
Pennsylvania, the following men arrived in Rock Springs on June 19:
Yu Chi Tien, An Ju-Tseng, Chun-Lin Wang and Liu, En-Ming.
All of the above men are graduate mining engineers, varying
in age from 32 to 37 years and have been sent to the United States by
their government for one year's training under Pierce Management.
They
arrived in the United States during the month of September, 1945, and
expect to return to China during September, 1946.
All speak English quite fluently and indicate their choice of
American food and drink as the hot-dog and Coca-Cola.
Evidently they
have not become acclimated to the extent of the American choice of
Scotch and Soda and T-bone steak.
Their time, to date, has been spent in visiting the bituminous
and anthracite mines in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
They v/ere
quite enthusiastic in their praise of our mines, especially the matter
of pillar extraction with duckbills and Joy loading machines, and very
much impressed by the systematic timbering program which they state is
the only example they have observed so far.
Their activities during the week were entirely at Reliance
and Stansbury districts, together with a visit to the Rock Springs Power
Plant and the General Office.
�- 2 -
They have been furnished a copy of our Book of Safety Rules,
Book of Standards and the History of The Union Pacific Coal Company.
The gentlemen are leaving for Utah on Sunday, June 23, to
visit Carbon County mines.

As you will recall, we were forced to call off the

second group of four on July Sth, and the third group of three on

Me trust this will be satisfactory to you, and because
of the fact that the time is rather short until they leave

effect that the above arrangements will be satisfactory.

We are sorry that it is necessary to postpone the trip

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe
Chairman, Board of Trustees

1416 Dodge Street
Omaha 2, Nebraska
Dear Mr. McAuliffe;
As you will remember, Mr. Pierce in anticipation of his
being in China about this time, wrote you the latter part of 1945
asking if you would be kind enough to take for a period of two
weeks two Chinese engineers in whose training we have been cooperat
ing with the Chinese Government. Since that time some changes in
plans have occurred and we are wondering if you would cooperate
in the following plans.
We are trying to arrange a trip for eleven of these
engineers through the mines in Colorado, Utah, Illinois and Wyoming
and a visit to the plant of the Goodman Manufacturing Company
in Chicago. This trip is being arranged because these boys have
expressed an interest to see the type of mining in these various
states before their return to China.
You originally agreed to take two of these men for a period
of two weeks, but under the present schedule for this trip we plan
on sending out three groups - two of four and one of three - and
we would not anticipate that any one of these groups would.be at
your mines more than three or four days instead of the two-week
period originally contemplated. The present schedule calls for
the first group to arrive at your mines on May 13th, the second
group on July 15th and the third group on August 19th.
Naturally this trip is being planned in advance but
subject to the present bituminous wage negotiation, which of
course, might necessitate a change in this trip. We, of course,
will keep in touch with this situation, and unless the labor
dispute has been satisfactorily settled we will not send them on
to you.
We will later try to give you the definite time of
arrival with the thought in mind that you can arrange accommodations
for these men as suggested by Mr. Pierce in his letter.
While this represents quite a change from Mr. Pierce's
original'plan, we trust you will be able to go along on'the change
and would appreciate your advice to this effect.

Dear Mr. McAuliffe;
As you know, Pierce Management has been engaged by the
Chinese Government on the rehabilitation and expansion of the
coal and mineral industries of China.
As part of the work essential to our introducing American
equipment into these mines, I have undertaken the training of a
large group of Chinese mining officials who have been in various
mines of the United States for the past three months.
I am trying to give them a very comprehensive picture of
different types of mining methods and equipment, and inasmuch as
I must go to China shortly, I am now planning schedules for cer
tain of these men between the months of May and September, 1946.
I would appreciate very much if you would extend me the •
courtesy of permitting two of these engineers to spend two weeks
on your property sometime between May and September next year,
we to give you ample notice of the arrival of these men.
With kindest regards.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:
It has been so nice of you to extend your invitation to
my friend Mr. Linson Hsu to visit one of your mines when he was
receiving his training in Wyoming Division. Thank you so much.
Later on, I learned out that he, Mr. Hsu, had not been
able to go and visit the mine. Sure he felt very sorry about
it and he ever tried to make it even when he was already back to
Omaha. I am sorry too that so far he has not been able to avail
himself of this grand invitation.
Our time of training was set for one year. It is almost
up till now. It has been scheduled to leave for China around the
middle of February, at the port of San Francisco, California.
I came down to Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 21, and
moved to here Memphis, Tennessee yesterday. Here the Arkansas
arid Tennessee states are jointly building a bridge over the Mis
sissippi river. It was just started. That's my mission to come
to have some training on the job. By the time I left Omaha, my
friend Mr. Hsu was awaiting an arrangement to New York City. So,
I imagine, he would not be able to see you and your mine.
Recalling the enjoyable visit last June, to your mine
at Rock Springs, I certainly have treasured it so much and recog
nized as one of the finest trips my Lord Christ has made for me
in the past one year here.
Well, if I can't see you and friends at your place be
fore leaving this land for China, I will still remember you and all
friends in prayer.
Thank you and all friends with you for the kindness
ever extended to me.

(cc:
Mr. Chen, Manning)
Dear Mr. Bayless:
Sometime within the next three months Mr. Chen,
Manning will call on you for the opportunity of looking around
our mines.
This young man, a Chinese, is one of 69 honor
students,who is a graduate bridge engineer and who, with six
of his associates, has been assigned to the Union Pacific
Railroad to study various angles of railroad construction
and operation. Mr. Chen is under the direct supervision of
Chief Engineer B. H. Prater, and as soon as his program is
completed, will get out on the road for study purposes. He
tells me that he worked in a Chinese shaft mine and is very
curious to see one of our mines and our method of mining with
machinery.
This boy, with his associates, including a young
woman, is the product of American Christian Missionaries,
Mr. Chen having served for some time as a missionary among
his people. Therefore I know you will be deeply interested
in him and will see that he is taken care of in your absence.
It may be some time before he gets to Rock Springs, his first
assignment that of a bridge job at Cozad.
You will be interested in knowing that "Chen" is
a family name and the first name, "Manning", was chosen
by himself. In order to conform to passport regulations,
he signs "Chen, Manning", but I am sure he would like to be
called by his first name as he is a very gracious and friendly
boy, speaking school English very well.
Please see that he is taken care of when he appears
at Rock Springs.
Sincerely yours,
�NO.

Dear Mr. McAuliffe;
We are working with the Chinese Government in con

one of their engineers, Mr. TOC. T’ang, expects to visit Wyoming
sometime during September or October and is particularly anxious
to see thick seam coal working. I take it that the most logical

the necessary arrangements.
I have not seen you for a long time, but I have
kept track of your Institute activities

Dear Mr. Jones:
Acknowledging receipt of your letter of April 7th:
be are always glad to have representatives of your company
visit our properties, and you may be assured that ue will allow
your representatives to examine our properties and obtain as
ouch information as possible.
As you know, we are fully mechanised, however our seams
are pitching seams end in all instances we are not able to
efficiently us? some of th? equipment that is being developed
end used in level seam mining. However, w? do have two Con
tinuous Miners in operation, one at our D. 0. Clark Mine, Superior,
Wyoming; and one at our Ho. 11 Mine, Reliance.
also have
a number of Joy loading machines and shuttle cars working on
these pitching seams. Therefore your men will be able to see
additional machinery which was not in operation at the time of
the visit of Mr. McLennan and hie associates.
You no doubt are kept informed by news items and radio
on our steel labor controversy. This, together with transpor
tation, communications, etc., makes for a certain amount of
confusion in this country.
Cur coming presidential election, however, appears to be
most important due to the issues that will be debated. Ve,
like everyone else, would be happy to see world tension relaxed
somewhat.
1 will be very haouy to meet Mr. Pearce and Mr. Knowles:
and I am still hoping that you will be able to visit this country,
enabling us to meet.
Please remember me to the members of your staff who have
visited this country, and best wishes to all.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. I. No Bayless, President
The Union Pacific Coal Company

Omaha 2, Nebraska U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Bayless:
It Is with much appreciation that I recall the kindness
and assistance that you and youi' company have extended to members
of our organisation who have visited the United States, and in
saying this I wonder if I may make a further call on your generosity.
The position, as you know, is that we have had in hand for
some years an extensive programme of coal mine development and
mechanisation, which has now reached an advanced stage;we are now
feeling the benefit in our overall operations of the considerable
amounts of effort and money expended.
With the furtherance of this plan in mind, we have decided
to send to the United States two more of our coal mining personnel,
namely, Mr. H. L. Pearce, Manager of our Nebo Colliery (one of our
newest and most highly mechanised mines), and Mr. H. C. Knowles,
who 1g the Maintenance Engineer for our Southern Coast Collieries
organisation. I would be very pleased indeed if they could have
the pleasure of calling on you and perhaps also meeting some of
your officers. With this thought in mind, I have taken the liberty
of providing them with a letter of introduction to you.
The purpose of the visit is, of course, primarily to study
the latest development in underground mining practice, more parti
cularly simultaneous cutting and loading of coal, roof bolting,
mechanical loading of pillar coal, shaft sinking, drift driving,
etc., and the equipment side generally. Therefore, if it would
be convenient to you, and they could be permitted to see some of
the operations on the mining side under your control, then I can
assure you that the experience would be most helpful, and I person
ally would be most grateful.
They have been booked to leave Australia by air for San
Francisco on 16th April, returning towards the end of July.
We have been having a busy time out here in Australia, and
as we stand now we have years of work ahead of us. Generally speak
ing, our operating conditions have improved considerably over the
�- 2 -
past six to nine months, mainly as a result of increasing fuel supplies, which in turn have resulted from the programme to^whlch I
have referred above, and to better continuity of work from the miners
themselves o
In the Steelworks we have been comparatively free from labour
troubles and overall production is on a much more heartening basis«
At Port Kembla, which has been the scene of most of our recent
developments, they are producing at a better rate than ever before<,
I hope that I myself will have the pleasure of meeting you
in the not too distant future, either in the States or here in
Australia, should you be contemplating a visit to this country.
In sending my best wishes, I also pass on the kindest
regards of Mr. Ian McLennan who is at the present time absent from
Melbourne o
sincerely,

Dear Mr. Bayless;
Towards the middle of August we will be sending two
of our coal mining engineers to the United States of America
for a few months to look into coal mining matters generally,
but more particularly in connection with roof bolting, trans
port control, extraction of pillars by machinery, plant main
tenance and mechanical mining generally,. The two officers we
have selected for this mission are Mr. A. H. Hams and Mr. J. Ao
Morris of our South Coast Colliery Organization and they hold
the respective positions of Assistant Superintendent of Col
lieries and Supervising Engineer.
You may recall from previous correspondence that we
operate four collieries on the northern New South Wales Coal
fields adjacent to our Newcastle Steel Works for the production
of coking coal and now have five collieries on the South Coast
field feeding the Port Kembla Steel Works,
Our northern mines have for quite a number of years
been operating on a fairly high degree of mechanization and
in the South Coast mines we are currently spending quite sub
stantial sums of money in furthering our development and
mechanization programme there. In fact we have now reached
the stage where 90 per cent of our output from these latter
mines can be mechanically cut with 78 per cent mechanically
cut and loaded.
In 1947, when our Mr. Heywood Wilkinson and Mr. John
Grierson visited the United States of America, you and your
company were very kind and also most helpful in assisting them
and they greatly valued the opportunity of viewing the opera
tions under your control. Whilst I do not wish to transgre'ss
on your generosity, I have taken the liberty of handing Mr.
Hams and Mr. Morris a letter of introduction to you in the
hope that it may be convenient for you to receive a call from
them.
I do hope also that it will be convenient for them to
call in at Rock Springs and if such proves to be the case it
would of course suit their programme best if they could do this
�on their way East from San Francisco0 I am therefor© sug~
gestlng to them that as soon as possible after their arrival
in San Francisco they make known to you the fact that they
are in the States and also to your officers at Rock Springs,
at the same time enquiring whether an arrangement as suggest
ed above would be convenient to youo
They will travel by air to the United States and should
thus arrive in San Francisco during the latter part of August 0
Needless to say for any kindness or assistance you
may be able to extend to these officers of ours I shall be
most gratefulo
With kindest regards and best wishes,
Yours sincerely,

V.e have installed a few units of shuttle cars, top

with shuttle car units.
If labor conditions permit, we will
probably also Install a courilc of continuous minors durins ^he
year and may also pick out a couple of places on the property
where we can do some strip .mining unless the Railroad goes
entirely to oil, which they are considering very seriously.
Kindly give Hr. Grierson iqy kindest regards as wall

Dear Mr. Bayless:
We have your letter of April 25 relative to Messrs.
Wilkinson and Grierson from Australia, and will be very glad
to have them visit our mine. Please give us such advance
notice of the time they will arrive in Salt Lake as is pos
sible, so that we can make the necessary arrangements, including
such hotel reservations as are necessary. As they are expect
ing to proceed from here to Cleveland and I assume their
program will be rathei' full, I would suggest that they could
save time by arranging to take the Denver & Rio Grande Pros
pector from Price to Denver. This train leaves Price at 8:49
P.M., thus giving them the full day at the mine without the
necessity of returning to Salt Lake. We will be glad to
arrange the necessary train reservations if they so desire.
Yours very truly,

Dear Ar. Lewis:
b^^ ■•*
Acknowledging yours of March 25:.
I would suggest that you have your men wire Mr. H. 0.
Livingston, Vice President-Operation, Rock Springs, Wyoming,
on their arrival in San Francisco, and he, in turn, will
wire me here in Omaha. Thea I would suggest they go directly
to Rock Springs, Wyoming. Mr. Livingston will be on the
look out for then and I will endeavor to meet them in Rock
Springs, making up an itinerary. I am suggesting this for
the reason that the American Mining Congress meets in
Cleveland, Ohio, on May. 12, and if they arrive in Rock
Springs the latter pert of April or first of May, it will
give then tine enough to go through our sines and then I
think they should go to Cleveland for the Mining Congress
meet, which will be. four days. They will be able not only
to meet practical and technical men of the coal industry,
but they will have an opportunity to hear read and discussed
both practical and technical papers. They will also be able
to view all the modern mining equipment, together with
certain improvements which probably have not yet been tried
out in coal mines.
I expect to attend this Congress meet, and if you will
advise, I will make necessary hotel reservations for your
men in Cleveland. ’
Sincerely yours

Dear Mr. Bayless:
I acknowledge and thank you for your letter of the
21st ultimo and do appreciate the sentiments expressed by
both yourself and Mr. McAuliffe. It is indeed good of you to
offer such ready and full assistance to our two officers, who
are now programming to leave Australia by air on 20th April.
If it suits your convenience, I will arrange for them
to go straight to Omaha after their arrival in San Francisco
and they should therefore make contact with you some time dur
ing the last week of April. I will, of course, ask them to
contact you on arrival at San Francisco to confirm their
movements.
In the concluding paragraph of your letter you asked
for certain data concerning our mines, which would enable you
to include in their itinerary collieries with conditions some
what similar to those existing here. As you may know, we are
operating three collieries near Newcastle for the production
of coking coal and also three collieries on the South Coast,
feeding Port Kembla. In addition to the three last mentioned,
we are at present developing a fourth colliery and winning coal
from a new tunnel of one of our existing collieries.
1 attach a sheet setting out the particulars you
asked for and I also attach some notes on our Northern collieries
which may prove of general interest to you. I am also arrang
ing to have some brief notes prepared covering our Southern
collieries and these will be forwarded on to you as soon as
they become available.
At the time of writting you last month I also wrote
Mr. Humphrey of the M. A. Hanna Company and the present inten
tion is that our officers should contact these people at
Cleveland after visiting some of your activities.
Again many thanks for your ready cooperation in this
matter.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,

�“JOHN DARLING11 COLLIER!
"John Darling” Colliery is situated at Belmont, 12 miles south
of Newcastle on the eoast.
Area of the colliery holding is 10,000 acres including land and
under sea coal. The area of sea coal is 5,000 acres.
The nino employs 580 men.
Two vertical shafts, 22 feet in dia., concrete lined, are sunk
to the Borehole Seam, the depthto the floor is 878 feet. Nine seams
of coal were passed through/two of which are worked the Victoria
Tunnel .atc 650’ and the Borehole at 873’.
Victoria Seam has a total thickness of 10’ 6” of which 5’ 9”
of the bottom portion is mined, the upper part is made up of inferior
coal and clay bands. These clay bands swell where there is any damp
ness and cause roof falls up to 8 feet. At this height the roof
is fairly good.
All main haulage roads are excavated to the 8’ parting.
Above the coal seam the strata is a blue shale.
Method of work is bord and pillar.
and pillars 17 yards.
Width of bords are 8 yards
All coal mined in this seam is mechanically cut, bored, loaded
and hauled.
Heavy track mounted mobile coal cutters undercut the coal for a
depth of 8' 0”. The weight of the machine is 9 tons. The H.P. of
the driving motor is 50 and this motor is only used for cutting.
A 20 H.P. motor is fitted to the machine and drives the tramming
gear, and elevating screws for tilting the cutter bar. Bower is
A.G. 415 volts, 50 cycle, 3 phase. Each machine has 100 yards of
165/016 4 core flexible trailing cable attached to a reel on the
machine, 3 cores are power and 1 earth. The other end is fitted with
a plug which fits into anyone of a number of Terminal Boxes fixed to
the main armoured cables from the supply source. The time taken,to
cut an 8 yard bord 8 feet deep, including sunping in and out, is
25/30 minutes.
Shot holes are bored with hand held drilling machines electri
cally operated on a 125 volt, 3 phase, 50 cycle circuit. A small
,
transformer, 415 to 125 volts, is carried on the coal cutter. The
drilling machine is supplied with power through a 5 core 140/010 flex
ible cable, 3 cores for power, 1 earth and 1 pilot core for earth
leakage protection. Starting and stopping is operated on 32 volt
circuit/ The weight of the drilling machine is 45 lbs. Tungsten
Carbide Tips are used throughout for drilling, the tips being brought
out at each end of the day for regrinding.
�- 2 -
Mechanical Loaders are heavy track mounted mobile machines
weighing 12 -tons. Loaders are electrically operated by a 50 H.P.
motor. All slewing and lifting movements are done hydraulically.
Gable arrangements are same as Coal Cutter. Loaders can load 6/8
tons per min. when conditions are good.
□even shots are fired electrically in each Lord by a certifi
cated shotflrer.
No pillars are being worked at the moment owing to the state
laws prohibiting the use of mechanical appliances in pillar extrac
tion.
Locomotives at the face are 11 tons including battery, operated
by 2 - 17 H.P. motors driving each axle through one set of gearing.
Batteries ax-e lead acid and alkaline and are charged at the end of
each working shift. Manual operated brakes apply to each wheel set.
Sanding equipment is provided'at each end of the chassis.
All batteries are charged and repairs attended to in a fire
proof room near the pit bottom, where any gases given off from bat
teries pass direct into the return airway.
Motor Generator Sets for charging batteries are located in a
fire proof room adjacent to the charging room.
Main line haulage are 3 - 20 tons Trolley Wire Locomotives
operating from overhead wire with rail return at a voltage of 250
D.C. The overhead wire is suspended by insulators fixed into the
underside of a 511 x 2§“ steel channel, the latter fixed to the
roof. On each side of the steel channel are sheet guards fastened
to the sides of the channel with bolts and springs which allow the
pole to open the guard, the spring closing same after the pole has
passed through.
0
The channel and guards are insulated from the roof and is so
arranged that should an insulator break down or the 1 channel or guard
become energised by any other means up to 25 volts potential, the
power is automatically cut off at the switchboard of the Motor Gen
erator Set. The electrical supply to the trolley wire is from 500
H.P. Motor Generator driven by an A.C. Motor.
General repairs to locomotives are done in a fire proof room
fitted with a 5'ton crane and necessary tools.
All tracks for main line haulage are laid with 60 lb. rails
on xjooden sleepers with welded plates across joints for earth con
tinuity.
Water for topping up batteries is distilled underground and
located at a point where it can be gravity fed to a battery in any
�of the rooms mentioned.
Provision is made to change a discharged battery during the shift
should it be necessary to do bo. This is done by manually operated
gear which pulls the discharged one off concurrently with pulling
the charged one on. Spare batteries are kept for this emergenoy.
Provision is also made to cut the power off- the overhead wire
in the event of the main ventilating fan stopping for any reason, and
is accomplished from a hinged plate held in position between the
intake and return airway by the suction of the fan. Should the fan
stop the hinged plate is so arranged that when it opens it trips a
circuit which in turn shut down the generator.
Skips used in this seam carry 5 tons of coal and are fitted
with drop bottom doors. These discharge into a 75 ton storage bin.
The coal is fed out of this bin by chain feeders onto a 421* wide
rubber belt 500* centres and discharges into 3 ton skips for hauling
to the surface.
Water from the mine workings is collected in a dam near the
shaft bottom and is pumped to the surface by a 6 stage Centrifugal
Pump running 1,500 R’.P.M. and driven by a. 130 H.P. A'.C. Motor. The
rising main to the surface is a 6" mild steel pipe. The pump delivers
25,000 gallons of water per hour at a total head from all causes
of 710’. Electrically operated pumps deal with water from the
workings to shaft bottom.
Borehole Seam. The thickness of the seam is 7* 3n. The portion
being worked is 5’ 9” and is above the 1’ 0” of inferior coal on ths
bottom. The strata above the coal seam is a dark shale up to 2 feet
in thickness, and is troublesome in working the coal. It has no
supporting properties and invariably falls at the working faces.
It varies in thickness from 9” to 2*. Above this is another ohale
but fairly strong and sakes a good roof but has to be timbered on
main roads.
Method of working la bord. and pillar 7 and 18 yards wide respectively.
The full dip of both seams is due west with an average gradient
of 1 in 24 (nearly 4%) with local gradients up to 1 in 8 (nearly
12/5).
i
Both seams have vertical cleavage planes or partings at vary
ing distances from 2 to 4 feet apart and generally bords are driven
at right angles to this cleavage line.
Faults are common in this seam with displacements up to 6 feet,
one exception being where it is 23 feet.
�- 4 -
Igneous Dykes are met with and are of various thicknesses from
4 to 25 feet, and in one case 100 feet. The coal is ©indered and
partially coked on both sides of these dykes.
Ml coal from this seam is hand Dined and filled into 25 cwt.
skips and hauled by horses from the face to flats where battery
locomotives haul to the shaft bottom.
Pillar extraction is in operation in this seas, the method of
extraction allowing almost complete recovery.
tlatex’ from this seam is pumped from the workings to the pit
bottom and pumped to the Victoria Seam from where it is punped to
the surface by the pump at that seam.
Ventilation of both seams is by a 12’ x 6’ Multiblade ®*an
capable of producing 500,000 Cub. Ft. of air per min. with a 4!1
water gauge. The output of the fan at present is 380,000 Cub.

o
Each belt drive is fitted with Tandem drive through steel gears
with chain drive to motor. Each belt is fitted with a Thruster
Brake on the Counter Shaft to prevent reverse running when belts
are stopped.
As the coal is fed out of the bins it passes through a Coal
Cracker which reduces the large lump coal to 10 inches. This
facilitates blockages at the transfer points.
The belts are Installed on one side of the drift leaving room
for a transport road for men and materials. All major repairs
to underground plant is done on the surface, the plant to be re
paired is hauled up the slope.
Storage bins are provided at each seam from where the coal is
fed to the belt conveyors.
Capacity of bin at the Victoria Tunnel Seam is 250 tons.
!i
CI
t! !t Borehole Seam is 400 tons.
Bins are rectangular, the long axis being at right angles to the
conveyor. Skips of 5 and 6 ton capacity are loaded at the face of
Victoria and Borehole Seams respectively and unloaded into the bins,
through three bottom Goors per skip, the end door of each skip
is secured by a locking bar.
Victoria Seam is 13 feet 6 Inches, of which the lower 6 feet to
6 feet 3 inches is worked, the upper portion is made up of coarse
coal and clay bands. On main haulage roads some of the coarse
top is removed to give an 8 fest height. Above the coal seam is
a blue shale and chert strata.
Roof conditions are fairly good excepting places where the
overhead strata is damp. In such cases the clay bands swell re
sulting in broken roof.

The floor is a mudstone formation with a fairly good parting
at the coal seam floor*
Seam dip generally about 1 in 30 in a southwesterly direction,
with local gradients as heavy as 1 in 8 or nearly 12$. These con
ditions are in some cases for and against loads.
Bords are 3 yards wide and pillars 14 yards with out-throughs
at 44 yard centres.
Faults are common up to 19 feet displacement.
Dykes of Basalt and Dolerite Rock are met in various parts of
the seam and vary up to 30 feet thick excluding cinder coal on
either side of same.
All coal mined in this seam is out, bored, loaded, and hauled
mechanically.
Coal Cutters and Loaders are track-mounted and locomotives
are battery operated.
Boring is done by hand held drilling machines electrically
operated and carried on the Goal Cutter.
The operating voltage of all face plant is 415 A.C. excepting

�LAMBTOM COLLIERS
Lambton Colliery is situated at Redhead 9 miles south of
Mewc^atle on the coast.
Area of the colliery holding is 5,396 acres Including land and
under sea coal.
Two shafts were sunk to the Borehole Seam. Several seams
were passed through, two of which have been worked, the Victoria
Tunnel and Borehole at depths from the surface 200° and 435° respec
tively.
Mining is confined to the upper seam only, called the Victoria
Seam.
The total thickness of the Victoria Tunnel Seam is 14" of which
5° 9!1 is the working section. The total thickness of the Borehole
Seam is GB 9” of which 5' 5E! is the working section. Method of
working is bord and pillar, with bords 8 yards wide and pillars
12 yards wide. The seam has a full dip of 1 in 30 (nearly 3$)
in a N. 80° VJ. direction with local gradients up to 1 in 8 (nearly
12/0 . The seam has vertical cleavage planes or partings at vary
ing distances from 1 to 2-1/2 feet. Bords are driven at right
angles to these cleavage planes.
The unworked portion of the seam is made up of Inferior coal
and clay bands, and in some sections roof water is encountered
causing the ©lay bands to swell and roof troubles result. In some
cases falls take place to the full height of the seam. The roof
above the coal is a mudstone and will not stand without supports.
Faults are common with displacements up to 8’ 0".
Igneous Dykes are met with at times of varying thicknesses.
These dykes are of a Basalt and Dolerite Stone. The coal is
cindered and partially coked on either sides of these dykes.
All coal is cut by heavy track mounted mobile coal cutting
machines operating on 3’ 6“ gauge track and weighing 9 tons.
Machines are operated by electric motors of flame proof type 50
H.P. and 20 H.P. 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle, size of trailing

Main line haulage are 2-20 ton Trolley Wire Locomotives
operating from overhead wire with rail return at a voltage of 250
D.C. The overhead wire is suspended by insulators fixed into the
under side of a 5 x 2-1/2° steel channel fixed to the roof. On
each side of the steel channel are sheet guards fastened to the
sides of the channel with bolts and springs which allow the pole
to open the guard, the spring closing sane after the pole has
passed through.
The channel and sheet guards are insulated from the roof and
is go arranged that should an Insulator breakdown or the channel
or guard become energised by another means up to 25 volts potential,
the power 1g automatically cut off at the switch board of the
motor generator set. The motor generator set supplying power to
the Trolley Wire Locomotive is 500 H.P.
Ml tracks on main lines are 60 lb. to the yard rails, the
fishplates are welded throughout for earth continuity.
Water is distilled underground electrically for topping up
batteries. & small air compressor electrically operated is installed
near the charging station for cleaning batteries.
Racks for changing batteries during the shift are provided at
the charging station.
Provision is made at the brick stopping between the intake and
return airway at the end of the charging room to automatically cut
the poirei’ off the overhead wire in the event of the main ventilat
ing fan stopping from any cause. This is accomplished by making a
�small hole in. the brick stopping between the intake and return,
and. fitting a hinged plate over the hole. The suction on the
•plate pulls the plate over the hole when the auction ceases (which
Eleans the fan has stopped), the hinged flap is arranged that it
falls open and makes contact with a circuit that in turn opens
the main switch on the generator.
Ventilation: Two ventilation fans are located on the surface,
the first a 72" Sirroco double inlet delivering 100,000 cubic feet
per nin. and driven by a 180 H.P. 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle.
Motor drive to fan is by 15 V. Belts. The second fan is a 30"
double inlet and delivers 50,000 cubic feet per min. and driven by
a 80 H.P. Motor 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle. Motor drive to
fan is 14" flat endless belt.
Major repairs to cutters and loaders and retiring of loco
wheels are done on the surface.
Electric head lamps of the Edison "J" type are used throughout
the mine and are charged and repaired at the surface.

Dear Mr. Murray,
I was very pleased indeed to get your letter
of warch 19th, and to know that you safely received the
December issue of the"B.H. P. Review".
We have arranged
for this journal to go forward to you regularly now, and
I feel sure you will find it of some interest and remind
you of your friends down here.
You may have already heard that two of our
coal mining people, uessrs. Heywood-Wilkinson and Grierson
are shortly leaving for U.S.A., and I know that it has been
arranged with Mr. Bayless that they call at Rock Springs.
I do hope they have the pleasure of meeting you, and I am
quite certain that they will be most interested in all you
are doing.
As you will see by the address at the head of
this letter, I have recently been transferred to our head
office in Melbourne where I am finding plenty to keep me busy.
With my kindest regards to you and all the other
friends I made in my short visit to Rock Springs.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Livingston?
Now that I am back in New fork, I am writing you this
short note to tell you how much I did appreciate all your kindness and
help to me at Rock SpringSo I did so much enjoy meeting you, Mr. Murray,
and your other officers, and I came away full of admiration for your
developments in the coal bearing areas of Wyoming. I do hope that one day
you will fulfil your threat and come and see us in Australia. Even if you
don’t do that I hope that you will feel free to write to me on any subject
at all where you think we could be of any help to you. It could be that
some things we do may be of interest because many of our conditions are so
similar to yours.
We had a splendid trip from Rock Springs to Salt Lake City
despite the fact that we were held up for a few hours by stones across the
road brought down by a cloud-bursti Mr. Orme was indeed a very gooddriver
and companion for the trip. Would you be good enough to remember me very
kindly to Mr. Murray and to your other officers whom I met.
With kindest regards.

Mr. H. 0. Livingston)
Dear Mr. McLennan;
I have yours of June 25. and the management of The
Union Pacific Coal Company; Mr. I. N. Baylees, President,
Omaha; Mr. H. C. Livingston, Vice President-Operation; Mr.
V. 0. .Murray, General Manaver; and Mr. I. M. Charles, Chief
Engineer; will be delighted to meet you and Mr. Syme, showing
you all courtesies possible, Including the inspection of any
of our mines, power plants, villages, etc.
With respect to your suggestion that you stop off at
Omaha: I would be most delighted to'have you do so, but as your
time seems to be short, may I offer a substitute suggestion?
I would recommend that you go through to* Rock Springs, Wyoming,
and if you will get in touch with Mr. H. L. Lauby, Eastern
Traffic Manager, Union Pacific Railroad, Suite 350 Rockefeller
Center (625 Fifth Avenue) New York City, or Mr. C. H. Saltmarsh,
General Agent, same location, they will work out a schedule for
you from New York to Rock Springs. If you prefer to deal with
our representative at Philadelphia, call on Mr. Morton Mann,
General Agent, 904 Girard Trust Building, Broad Street and South
Penn Square; or if you are in Washington, Mr. H. B. Blanchard,
Washington Representative, 600 Shoreham Building, 15th and H
Streets, N.M. Any of these men will work out schedules from
New York, Washington or Philadelphia to Rock Springs, and our
train Mo. 3, known as the Transcon, carries through sleepers
from both New York and Washington, via the New York Central
from Hew York only, ©nd via the Pennsylvania Railroad ifrom
New York and Washington, to Rock Springs.
On your arrival at Rock Springs, or if you could give •
me advance notice after checking with any of the railroad agents
above mentioned, we would attempt to negotiate transportation
by plane from either Rock Springs (which, however, is restricted
�- 2 -
to one plane dally), or preferably from Salt Lake City (within
easy driving distance of Rock Springs), or Cheyenne, In other
words, we would try to get you back by plane or possibly by
one of our streamliners from Rook Springs to Chicago, with con
nection to New York City. If you stopped over in Omaha Monday,
August 12, very little would be gained except to meet a few of
our Omaha people; no coal mines located in the State of Nebraska.
On the other hand, I think we can do’ the honors in Rook Springs
equally tzell, coupling the work of gathering information with
an exchange of ideas, perhaps driving over to Salt Lake City
for a look at that most interesting city, where a number of coal
men are located.
kindly write me further on the suggestions outlined,
and be assured that you will be most welcome to Omaha, and our
Wyoming properties. Mr. Bayless, whose office adjoins mine,
will be very anxious to meet you, as will Messrs. Livingston
and Murray at Rock Springs.
When you write Mr. Lewis, please give him my compil
mentis.

Would appreciate your advising me of your handling.
For your information I am attaching copy

I would suggest
that you work out a detailed arrangement where Mr. Tsao
will have more or less freedom of entry into the mines
to study different classes of mining, as long as he
reports to the mine foreman and a record is kept of
his entering and leaving the mines.
Would also suggest that you request that he
sign the waiver.
However, I would not insist on this
if he does not feel inclined to execute a waiver, re
leasing us from responsibility for any personal injury.

Re; File 080-3
Mr. I, No Bayless, President

1416 Dodge Street
Omaha 2, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Bayless?
On September 11th I wired you from Nev; York concerning
MR. TSAO, CHAO-CHIU, which wire I presume you have received.
A number of years ago an international training organi
zation was set up whereby certain engineers from foreign countries
were brought to the United States on scholarships. Under this
program, the Government appealed to us to assist them in placing
these engineers in mines, which we have done as a gratis effort.
This organization, however, was disbanded eight or nine
months ago, and the only authorized agency for placing Chinese
engineers and looking after their welfare is the National Resources
Commission of China, 111 Broadway, New York, which is headed by
Dro To To Eoyang.
Their method is to have all engineers report to them in
New York before assignment and they arrange all of the details
and provide them with a life and accident insurance policy, and
with sufficient funds for traveling and living expenses so that
they are not dependent upon any coal company for the expenses of
their training.
Unfortunately, in this case, possibly through some mixup
in the Nanking office in China, this man was sent directly to you,
and the National Resources Commission was unfamiliar with the fact
that he had gone there directly and only discovered it when two
other engineers reported to them that Mr. Tsao had gone directly
to your Company.
Had the matter been cleared through the National Resources
Commission originally, this man would have known of the change
in the program and would know that you are not expected to put him
on your payroll.
He has been advised by them as to what the present status
is and consequently, I suggest that you do not make any payments to
�- 2 -
him and that you take the ordinary precautions of having him
sign a waiver against accident or death on your property, even
though the Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company of Balti
more insures him against death or accident in the amount of §5,000,
Yours very truly,

My dear Sir:
It is my understanding that a number of young Chinese nationals
have been admitted to this country for a limited period of time, in order
to study American industries and obtain training in our production
methods, etc. The amounts which they receive from their Government,
or the foundation which sets up the,funds for such training, is not very
large and it would appear to be difficult for them to get along thereon.
These men could obtain employment in the industry in which they are
receiving their training, and I wish you would please advise whether or
not the conditions of their entry into this country prohibit or in any
way limit such employment. I am interested in this both from the
standpoint of the national, and that of the prospective employer.
Thanking you, I am,
Yours very truly,
/s/
J. H. GALICICH
Such students as you speak of are not permitted to work for remuneration.
Their Government is required to take care of them - that is the terms
under which they are admitted. Under no condition can they replace
American labor.
Very truly yours,

Deer3 Mr. Pierce:
Relative to Mr. Tsao Chao-Chiu:
Correspondence-began sone three years ago relative
to Mr. Chao-Chiu coming to America. On August 30 he came
into my office in Omaha, and I was unable to determine just
what his scholarship included, and what he wished to do, as
he talks and understands very little of the English language.
However, I sent him out to dur Mr. Livingston at
Rock Springs with the suggestion that Mr. Livingston get
some of the Rock Springs Chinese boys to interpret for him
and try to determine what the'setup was. Mr. Livingston
tells me now by phone that Mr. Chao-Chiu received a scholar
ship of approximately 01,700, fare included, and that he
wished to go to work and be paid for his services.
Fox’1 the present I suggested to Mr. Livingston that
he put him on as a helper to some of our mining engineers,
which will help him become acclimated and familiar with
our mining practices. No doubt it will be necessary for
us to pay his a wage. Therefore I suggested to Mr. Livingston
that he employ him like he employs any other man, so that
there will be no complications in case he is injured.
On my next visit to Rock Springs I expect to go
into the matter a little more carefully, and while we are
perfectly willing to assist in international student
relations, we are somewhat at a loss as to Just how to treat
this matter.
I would appreciate your writing me in detail your
understanding of the setup.

Dear Mr. Livingston,
This letter will introduce Mr. Yuan Tung of the
Kailan Mining Administration who is taking the opportunity during
his leave of visiting the United States and refreshing himself
in regard to modern practice and developments in coal mining.
Mr. Yuan Tung received his mining training at Lehigh
University and so is quite well acquainted with conditions in the
U.S.A.
He was for a number of years Manager of one of the mines
of the Administration producing some 4,500 tons per day and is
now the Chief of General Affairs, in which capacity one of his
major problems is the responsibility of maintaining an adequate
and contented labour force in the Mines Area which, as you will
readily imagine, is no easy task with the present troubled
political and financial conditions in China.
Mr. Yuan Tung read the report which I made to the
Administration on my visits to mines in the U.S.A, and has
expressed interest in the operations of the Union Pacific Coal
Company and I shall be glad if you could do anything to assist him
in either seeing any of your mines or in learning how you deal
with labour and welfare which I know is one of your strong points
in the Union Pacific Coal Company.
Yours very sincerely

Dear Mr. Bayless:
Early in the New Year Mr. Ian McKensey, Manager of Elrington
Colliery iirill be leaving on a visit to the United States to study
latest developments in connection with mining practice and equipment.
Elrington Colliery is on the Maitland/Cessnock field of New
South Wales and is a Colliery in which we have a controlling interest
in association with Hebburn Limited. This is the only colliery in
our group producing gas making coal and is also the only one developed
on the basis of utilising trackless mining equipment.
During the time Mr. McKensey is in the United States I would
very much like him to have the pleasure of meeting you and perhaps
having the opportunity of discussing matters of mutual Interest with
some of your officers. With this in view I trust that you will not
mind my having taken the liberty of providing him with a letter of
introduction to you. I can assure you that anything you or your
officers may be able to do to add to the interest and Instruction
of his visit to your country will be greatly appreciated not only by
him but by me personally.
Mr. McKensey’s programme in the United States has not yet been
finalised but I have suggested to him that as soon as possible after
his arrival there he should communicate with you and advise you re
garding his movements.
Just recently I was delighted to learn from Mr. Lewis that
Mr. McAuliffe is keeping so well and active - when next you see him
I should be glad if you would be good enough to remember me to him
and give him my kindest regards and best wishes.
I trust that you are keeping well and send you my kindest
regards and best wishes.

Dear Dr. Potter?
I
Absence has prevented an earlier reply to your
letter of March 13, filo DA-1, re visit of G. M. Keightley
and C. J. Wills of the Consolidated Pneumatic Tool Company,
England.
W© will be glad to receive Mr. Keightley and
Mr. Wills at a tihe convenient to them, giving thorn the
broadest access to our property.
It is proper to say,
however, that-ve do not use any pneumatic machinery of
f
consequence, merely a few rock drills1used in driving rock
tunnels, etc.

Dear I2r, Sproston:
I am afraid I have been somewhat neglectful in answer
ing your letter received in Earch and can only offer the excuse
on account of the rush in business, We are still operating
seven days per week with a difficult labor supply, We have just
completed another wage negotiation which gives the miners approxi
mately 01,30 per day increase in wages. This will not Cause any
less absenteeism. In fact, it is becoming difficult for th®
miners to spend their money, therefore, they are taking life easy
and loosing a great deal of time. The Union Pacific Coal Company
produced 6,300,822 tons of coal last year. We were hopeful of
producing approximately 7,000,000 tons of coal this year. How
ever, with the shortage of labor, which amounts to approximately
20 per cent together with another 20 per cent average absenteeism,
it appears that we will be lucly if we hold our own and produce
as much coal in 1945 as we did in 1944® However, we expect to
carry on.
The war news indicates that the fighting will probably
be ended in the near future in Europe with a job .in the Pacific
left to be picked up. We are thankful for the good news and to
see the finish. However, the Pacific may take some time yet.
The loss of our President, Franklin D, Roosevelt, is a
great blow not only to this country but to all civilized nations,
and while we hope that it rH 11 not have any effect on the prosecution
of the war, it is bound to have its effect on this country and may,
of course, have its effect on all Allied countries. You have no
doubt heard our present President Trumaa analyzed by news analysts,
Uhile we have every confidence in his ability, we realize that he
does not have the experience and knowledge of war affairs that
President Roosevelt had. However, this will soon become history
and be only one of the events in the march of time.

Our particular job, of course, is to fuel the Union
Pacific Railroad which had more business last week than ary week
in its previous history, hauling war supplies to the Pacific
Coasts We expect this to continue for some time.
I would be glad to be kept informed of the progress you
people are malting on the installation of mechanical loadingo Would
be glad to have another visit from you at any time and will certain

There was a more natural outlook on life as contrasted with the

Kansas City was very like our Manchester rather rough and full
of shoppers, but it near Xmas time and everybody seemed anxious to spend
money.
I quite enjoyed my stay at Mcalister and Mr. Puterbough was
most charming.
Xmas was spent in Columbus, not a very nice place, in fact very
dirty, but then I think my impressions were wrongly coloured as I was at
that festive season thinking of home.
It was the first Xmas I have been

It was at Columbus that I
started to run into your American winter, there was plenty of snow and
freezing hard.
Not so bad as when I arrived in Pittsburg, I got snowed up

What impressed me of the
severity of the cold was the fact that the fast flowing rivers were frozen

Dear Hr, Hiller:
I received a few days ego your letter dated January 22nd and was
glad, indeed, to hear from you. I have thought of you often since your visit.
It is very nice of you to say the kind things about myself and The
Union Pacific Coal Company. There are tines vzhen we are not too proud of
some of our accomplishments. Wo did, however, wind up with a very good year
last yoarj oven with the large labor turnover, absenteeism, etc., we produced
6,300,822 tons of coal. Wo produced 612,000 tons of coal for tiic month of
January tliis year, however, we are slacking down on demand at this time and
are not producing on Sundays.
I can inagina some of yo<ir difficulties and experiences in attempt
ing to work a Joy machine with shuttle car on steep pitches. No doubt you
people will prove the Duckbill sooner or later and probably adopt a standard
method of mining which will, lend itself to mechanical loading.
The war news sounds better at this time and again we are all getting
in on optimistic mood; however, I am afraid thoir are some long unhappy moments
ahead before we settle back to a normal life.
Messrs, hurray, Livingston, Knill and Sharrer send their regards
and speak of joa as the most promising "Johnnie Bull” who has visited this
property for sone time; in fact ry offer still holds good if you would like
to come to this country and be a Hine Foreman.
Hoping to hear from you often, I remain

talked to Mr. McWhorter about making it possible for Mr, Millar
to visit some of the mines in Northern Colorado, subbituminous

Mr. Millar drove with Mr. Bayless to Denver, arriving
there Sunday evening, and Hr. Bayless also got in touch with Lire
JJc’.Jhorter to make arrangements so that Hr. Millar will be able to
go into some of the Northern Colorado nines.
Hr. McWhorter has
also been asked that when Mr. Millar®s visit lias been completed
to arrange for reservations East for him.
Er. Millar spent three weeks on our property, and I think
that he got a great deal out of his visit as he wont in the mine
in the morning
worked with the crews on the shaking conveyors
and also on Mobile Joy loaders.
I am sure when he returns to

Dear I'r. Bayless,
Cn looking through my files the other day I found that I had not
replied to your letter of 27th February.
I em glad that Uro 1'cAuliffe
passed you a. copy of my letter as I had intended, at that time, also to
■’.’.'rite to you.
Your figures in regard to output and labour force for last year
are very rood indeed, especially when one considers the remarkable
turnover of labour you have experienced.
It is most interesting to me
that you should be able to train so many new mon end yet maintain such a
high efficiency.
Cur labour position here has been most difficult during the war
years as we leave had little intake of suitable manpower and our wastage
has been at a fairly high level.
Our intake of labour has for the
most part been composed of "Devin" Boys, tlia.t is, youths of military age
who, on being called up for the forces were balloted to the Coal Fines
instead.
naturally many of these youths have no interest in coal
mining and in many cases have a bad influence on other workers.
Approximately 7-3y of our employees a.t the present time are "Bevin" Boys
Apart altogether from this aspect, we are not getting the full
advantage of the new methods.
This ray be due, as you indicate, to

■the difficulty of introducing new methods and machinery durinc; a war
period.
It is true that we are increasing our total output and our
operating efficiency to some extent by the new methods but we feel that
we are not getting the full co-operation end effort of the men. Did you,
in the initial stages of mechanisation, experience the same difficulty.?
V.'ith due regal’d to differences in conditions, we believe that the
men are only giving us one half to two thirds of the output possible with
duckbills.
This is most disturbing as wo do not : now what more we can
do to increase efficiency.
host of our officials have received careful
training in the new methods and have had numerous lectures, illustrated
with films and slides, on the subject.
\.'e have trained six demonstrators
who are now used to train operators end we have inaugurated a training
course for operators at our Central Workshops.
Vlages paid to all
operators are day rates and while we believe this to be the correct
system, wo sometimes think that contract work would stimulate production.
One feature has, however, given us great encouragement.
A short . \
time apo we organised a single entiy did.vs.ge with one duckbill working i
3 shifts per day.
The men selected, three on each shift, had no
previous duckbill experience, but a trained demonstrator was placed on ("'■
each shift.
The entry was 14’ wide end the coal 5’ to

The’
best progress obtained "was en output of 240 saleable tons (2,240 lbs.)
in one day’s working (i.e. throe 7r- hour shifts), while over a week of
17 working shifts a driva-'e of 414 ft. was obtained.
This job was very
well organised in regard to all services end the results obtained were '
more than twice the average we are obtaining with our other duckbills.
As many as G complete cycles were made in one shift.

Dear Ur. Kings
Mr. Eugene McAuliffe has passed to do a copy of your letter
dated January 30th commenting on your developments in mechanical load
ing in Great Britain also your kind remarks about The Union Pacific
Coal Company.
V.’e produced a total of 6,300,822 tons of coal last year with
approximately 2,800 total employes on the pay roll. Our labor turnover
was very high. In fact, to maintain 2,800 employes during the year
it was necessary to employ approximately 3,800 men, which, you will
realise, lowered cur efficiency when, being forced to train this number
of man, some of them entirely inexperienced^ and I might say many did
not desire to do any work of any kind around the coal mineso
We are not attempting to develop any new methods or add new
types of machines to our operations at this time, being content to
carry on with our present method of mining and present type of machines
until after the war at which time we hope to make further improvements
both in mining practices and mechanical mining.
Ue are sure that you and Mr. Buchanan will be able to develop
improved practices of raining by installing proper types of mechanical
equipment. We appreciate your many difficulties and would be glad to
give any information at any time you think it would be helpful.
The war news at this time sound promising. However, with the
setback late last year, the people in this country are rather hesitant
to become too optimistic. We all realise, of course, there will be many
adjustments after the war before we will be able to settle back into
our routine method of living.
Please convey my personal regards to Dr. Reid and Mr.
Buchanan.

Dear Mr. McAuliffe:

When Mr. Buchanan and I left you in Rock Springs, I
promised to write giving information regarding our progress with
American methods of mining. I am now implementing that promise
but I wish first of all to again thank you and all your staff for
the very great hospitality with which you received us. The visit
to The Union Pacific Coal Company will long be remembered by me
and I hope that it will again be possible to visit you at some
later date.
I was very pleased to hear of your appointment as Chairs
man of the Board and was somewhat sorry to learn that Mr. George
Pryde had retired from service. On the other hand, I wish to
congratulate Mr. I. N. Bayless on his well merited promotion.
My company has now started a very intense programme
of mechanisation and modernisation, and it may interest you to
know that we are producing 25% of the coal won by American methods
and machinery in this country. Most of this coal is mined by Duck
bills and we have adopted, as standard practice, the methods carried
out by The Union Pacific Coal Company. In this respect we are
greatly indebted to you for all the valuable information and advice
given us during visits. The best results we have been able to
attain so far are 4-5 tons per person employed to the main haulage,
but as foremen and men become more proficient, we are hopeful that
greatly improved results will accrue. One Interesting point has
emerged in that we have been able to obtain in selected subjects,
practically 100% extraction with Duckbills at depths approximating
2,000 feet.
At present we are developing what we expect to be the
first all American mine in this country. On the surface a very
simple tipple has been laid out with haulage, electrical equipment,
office, ambulance room and lamp room housed under one roof. The
coal from underground in two ton capacity drop bottom cars of our
own design and manufacture is emptied into storage hoppers on the
�- 2 -
surface, from which it is removed by motor -truck to a nearby
screening plant. Only two men are employed above ground, exclud
ing truck drivers. Underground all slope haulage is by direct
rope with locomotive haulage on the level and a 42” track gauge.
American room and pillar methods of complete extraction are employed
at the face and on full production it is expected that 80/90 men
overall will produce an output of 500 tons per day. Four similar
mines are in course of preparation.
In addition to the above, we are contemplating recon
struction of many of our older collieries with the introduction of .
broad track gauge, large cars, locomotive haulage on the level,
and direct rope haulage on all slopes. The method of working
proposed throughout is by Duckbill or hand-filling onto chain
conveyors.
The above brief outline will give you an indication
of hotiT we are progressing and of how much we owe to your company
for the advice and help rendered us.
Dr. Reid and Mr. Buchanan send their kindest regards.
with best wishes, I am,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Bill:
I was greatly pleased to have Messrs, King and Buchanan
with uso Mr. McAuliffe came from Omaha with them, and-we- spenttwo busy days and some busy evenings here. Your two officials, I
think, got a good deal of benefit from the visit as they seemed
to lenow what they were looking for and apparently are two very
capable men. We should have liked to have them stay longer at
our property, but their itinerary was fixed for them and we
disliked to change it. They made full use of the time they
were with us, and we, of course, had a nice visit with them regard^
ing the conditions in Scotland at the present time particularly
at the properties of your company.
The automatic Duckbill, with shaking conveyors, I am
sure will work out very well in some of your work. Joy machines
are good for sinking slopes of limited dip, say, up to 10 degrees.
The Joy can also be used to drive entries where you can drive
at least three places simultaneously. The only thing, of course,
with mechanical loading is to keep the loader busy.
We had a fine meeting with the Rock Springs Chapter
of the A.I.M.E. here, and we included quite a number of business
men here to have dinner with us in the evening. The Rock Springs
Canadian Legion had a fine party on Wednesday evening which we
all enjoyed.
It was fine that Mr. McAuliffe could be present during
the entire visit. He is still very active and a remarkable man.
During the years I have been associated with him, I have become
more and more attached to him.

I have recently written to a friend of mine, Captain
S. J. Giovale, who is with the American Medical Corps somewhere
in Britain,, I have asked him, if he is in the vicinity of your
home, to call upon you. Before he joined the Army, he was a
doctor at one of our mining districts.
we are still having the same difficulty with shortage of
men and large labor turnover, plus absenteeism,. Our experience
is very similar to your own with the absenteeism growing in direct
proportion to increases in wages and earnings.
I am sure you will have a great meeting with Messrs.
Buchanan and King upon their return. Give ny regards to them, Mr.
Carlow, and your father, and I hope to write to them sometime before

Dear Mr. Buchanan:
It was very kind of you to write me from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, prior to your leaving for home. I hope you
enjoyed the remainder of your visit in America after leaving
Rock Springs. I derived a great deal of personal pleasure
in meeting both you and Hr. King because you talk ry language
and come from very near my old home. I shall not soon forget
the fine visit we had.
It would be entirely all right for you to write me
anytime either you or Mr. King have a problem you do not fully
understand, and I shall be only too glad to answer anything
you may ask, giving you any information I can. We of The Union
Pacific Coal Company family are e:±remely interested in the
developments going on in your mines with the adaptation of the
mechanical loading. I shall do everything possible to help you.
Weather has warmed up somewhat, but we have had an
esctremely long, cold winter and are looking forward to warmer
weather.
Mrs. Pryde has been in Seattle, Washington, with sonin-lav; and daughter. Mrs, Frost, ny daughter and her two children

Dear Mr. Pryde,
The article in Saturday’s Rocket stating that Mr. King and
Mr. Buchanan of the Fife Coal Company, Scotland, would be visitors
in Rock Springs, set the Ladies Social Club of the Canadian Legion
to wondering if it would be a nresumption on their part to tressnass on the prerogatives of the Union Pacific Coal Company (hosts
to these executives during their stay here) to organize a British
concert at which both gentlemen would be asked to say a few words,
and the ladies have asked me to approach you for your advice and
to request that you use your influence in this regard.
With this in mind I called your office on Saturday and was
informed that you were out of town and would not return until Monday
Mrs. Outsen referred me to Mr. Bayless to whom I outlined the thought
of the ladies. Mr. Bayless was very co-operative and thought that
both Mr. King and Mr. Buchanan would be in Rock Springs over Wednes
day nqight, and suggested that the Ladies club make tentative nlans
and contact your office on Monday for your opinion as to what might
be done, and when.
The Ladies Club have completed tentative plans which roughly
have the following outline:
That a British concert be held in the Congregational Church
on Wednesday evening at 8 PM.
(Concert be similiar in
structure to the Burns’ concert recently held in Rock
Springs).
That admission be free and the public invited.
That a cup of tea be served after the concert.
That Mr. King and Mr. Buchanan be asked to tell a little some
thing about ”0ur Ain Folk” in their struggle against the
Germans.
That Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Pryde be asked to honour the concert
by their nresence on the platform.
That the concert-chairman arrange his continuity to suit the
convenience of the distinguished guests, in the event they
can stay for part of the programme only.
T would greatly appreciate a telephone call at 100 at your
convenience on Monday so that I can relay your thought to the ladies.
Yours very truly,
Alexander Braes.

Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President
Union Pacific Coal Company
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Mr. Pryde:
I just had a phone call'from Mr. Green regarding your
friends, Mr,. H. R. King and Mr. G. R. Buchanan, .who are
over here from England looking over mechanical" loading
for the Fife Coal Company.
Mr. Green met them at the station in Chicago Sunday morn
ing and put them up at the South Shore Country Club Sun
day.
They spent Monday going through our factory and
were very much impressed by its size and the quantity
of equipment we are turning out and by the fact that we
make all of our own equipment, Including motors.
They had a schedule laid out that contemplated visiting
a number of larger mines using mobile equipment.
However,
they told Mr. Green they were primarily interested in
Shaker Conveyors with Duckbills as they felt this equip
ment was the only loading device they could employ satis
factorily in their properties.
Because of this, Mr. Green
changed their schedule so they will have ample opportunity
to see what they by all means should look at.
Today they are at the Bugos-White Coal Company at Gilles
pie, Illinois, which mine uses all Shaker Conveyors, dis
charging onto belts.
Tomorrow they will visit the Shear
Coal and Coke Company at Canton, Illinois, which is also
a Duckbill mine.
On Thursday they will go to Harrisburg,
Illinois and look over a Joy loader installation which the
Joy Company is anxious for them to see.
Thursday night
one of our men, Mr. Hall, will meet them at Harrisburg
and drive them to Madisonville, Kentucky where they will
see further Shaker Conveyor installations in low coal.
They will return to Chicago Sunday morning and Mr. Green
will again meet them at the train and put them up for the
day at the South Shore Country Club, subsequently putting
them on the train for Rock Springs Sunday night. They will
arrive at Green River Monday afternoon in accordance with
the instructions they have passed on to you.
�March 7,
1944
Sheet #2
Mr. George B. Pryde
They at first planned on spending only Monday afternoon and
Tuesday at Rock Springs, proceeding to Utah Tuesday night.
Mr. Green has told them that Rock Springs and the Union
Pacific Coal Company offer the very best possible chance
for them to see and learn the best application of Shaking
Conveyors and has prevailed upon them to spend more time
than originally planned in Rock Springs.
We don't know
how long they will stay in Rock Springs but they surely
should stay there several days and I feel sure that after
talking with you they will be agreeable to spending more
time with you and your very fine organization.
I know
you will urge them to do this.
From Rock Springs they will visit Utah and I .am today mak
ing arrangements with Dave Bryson to take them under his
wing.
I would like to have them see Bryson's Conveyor
work at Sunnyside and if they are going to look at cater
pillar mounted loading equipment I also think they should
see Clear Creek which is a track mounted loader mine. Clear
Creek is doing by far the best job with mobile loading
equipment of any mine in Utah.
Mr. Green and, I believe, Mir. McAuliffe are both of the
opinion that Messrs. Buchanan and King would be more effect
ively sold on the use of Shaker Conveyors and Duckbills if
I, or in fact any Goodman man, were not to tag- around with
them at Rock Springs.
For this reason it is felt that it
would be better if I did not meet them at Rock Springs, at
least until they are ready to leave.
I do think I should
take them to Utah if they go there because I know that un
less they go to the right people there they could leave
Utah with a lot of bad information.
This is primarily why
I want Dave Bryson to give them the true picture of the
Utah situation.
I think it would be very dangerous to turn
them loose in a strange country to make a quick survey of
mining in Utah without knowing they are getting good authen
tic information.
I want to thank you for your extreme kindness in inviting
me to be with these people at your properties.
I believe
that Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Green have the right slant on
it and that it is best that I stay away from Rock Springs.

Mr. Donald Eindson
The Ashing-ton Coal Gomoany Limited
Ashington, Northumberland, England
-
Dear Mr. Eindson:
Your letter of November S2 arrived yesterday and I
hasten to make renly.
First, under separate cover I am sending you a copy of
our February and December, 1943, Employes Magazines. On page 53
of the February issue you will find ail of the information for
the five years requested, and on page 62 you will find the rules
governing our safety awards for 1943. In the December number,
page 50?,, you will find our overall safety record, 96,724. man
hours. per lost time accident for the first 10 months, against
148,433 for the same neriod in 1942, and 117,097- for the year
1942.
Answering your questions in the order asked; the
"vital principle1' governing our program was the prise appeal,
which not only meant getting something, but in addition human
nature is so constituted that it is always interested in a
gambling enterprise.. In ray opinion, the chance of winning a
prize does enter into the conduct of the individual while"work
ing in and about the mines. I am definitely certain that the
desire to avoid loss of life, limb, or working time ‘is not upper
most in.the minds of the great majority.
You. will observe, by reading the Run of the Mine articles
in the December magazine, where our labor situation has gone.
I look on Mr. Lewis as a menace to war production; but the fact
remains that he has the entire Washington hierarchy afraid of
him. So far we have been faced with a mild winter, but with
two or three weeks of severe western winter weather, or even
throughout the east, we will have a real coal famine.
I enclose a little booklet showing the measure of wages
we are paying under the’ "portal to portal" agreement, effective
�Mr. Donald Hindson
12/16/45
November 15. During the last two or three days we have had some
fifty men in a new mine on strike against their own agreement.
The wages paid are perfectly ridiculous, three or four hundred
men refusing to work the first four days in order to qualify
for the higher wages on Friday and Saturday.
If the measure of
government interference in the conduct of our coal mining industry
expands such further, we will have complete chaos.
What we should have is an amendment to the laws, insuring
full Justice to all 'workers, fixing at the same time the measure
of responsibility on their part toward the consuming public.
I think I know Mr. Wheeler of the Joy Company; at least
1 know of him.
I understand he is a very good man. The Duckbill
was developed and patented on our property, thereafter sold to the
Goodman Manufacturing Company of Chicago.
Your story of near misses is most interesting.
I hope
your son will return in good shape and that I will have the
privilege of meeting you when the war is over, as I fully intend
to run across for one more ‘’look see'5, as our old Chinamen would
say.
Very cordially yours,

THE ASHINGTON COAL COMPANY LIMITED
Colliery Office,
Ashington,
Northumberland.
Nov. 22nd, 1943
Dear Mr. McAuliffe:
The time has come for me to introduce myself as Agent for
this group of collieries. You have occasionally heard from and
written to our Mr. Docherty, Safety Office. Now it is my turn.
First - I write at home out in the country at 8:30 p^m.,
on a damp November night by the side of a decent fire spite of
fuel shortage
It is here I do my quiet thinking and construc
tive work or plans - no doubt it is in the operations and con
tacts where life pulsates that the real valuable work is done
as we cannot live to ourselves, we’ve got to get amongst people.
I read your last Magazine with much interest - that
in which you became an "old timer". Good fortune to you and
your grand efforts. We admire you here - one day I’d like to
meet you.
We have been restudying your prize safety scheme - wonder
ing what is the VITAL PRINCIPLE which gets there. Is it interest
aroused through the money or prize appeal; is it interest produc
ing better workmanship, or just what is it in your considered
opinion? Do you exclude attendance as a qualification and if so,
why? Doesn't the man who gets in the greatest attendance run
the greatest risk, i.e., time exposure, or is this offset by the
fact that he is generally a better workman all round? We have
not been successful with a similar scheme and naturally wonder
why. Since the war our rate has rocketted to 50$ over prewar
and this is general over here. Are you feeling the blast now
and to what extent?
We have over here a Mr. Wheeler of "Joy, Inc." advising
on installations of American equipment, and so we become more
closely allied in thought and deed. We, ourselves, are installing
duckbills in a 4'-0" seam with a very soft roof where present
output is approximately 1.75 tons per underground shift. Small
compared with your large figures.
Labour problems are many and difficult in these times,
but at heart the men are sound, more especially as individuals.
�- 2 -
In the mass they act unreasonably at ’times and quickly react
to news. Your strikes soon infect our men - to what extent do
yours reciprocate? Our Essential Works Order, guaranteeing a
week’s pay and limiting management's disciplinary actions has
upset morale greatly. The men are not ready for such a leap
forward and in war times it misses the mark badly. In effect
the men seem to say there is money about when a war has to be
fought and here the government shows how we can get something for
nothing and we will make the most of it. And they do. One wonders
at times why output has not fallen even more.
Still it is good to be helping in these mighty times,
and one would not have it easy. The harder the game the more
enjoyable it becomes. My younger boy is in the Army, having
broken his Cambridge studies. The elder is reserved in mining.
I did my bit in the last, being.a young engineer in the Field
Corps.
Whilst, as I said earlier, we live out in the country,
we have had our share of "near misses" all round - about 15
bombs in all - one leaving a hole 70' across and 40' deep not
far from the house. Probably a nearby searchlight has been the
attraction. Then we had 57 panes blown in - and out - and later
I saw the Hun come in and drop a direct hit on one of our colliery
fan houses - complete destruction. This was a Saturday evening
and we started up Monday morning with a standby fan and holes
and gaps all over the place patched up. Lately we have been
unmolested.
Well now I've finished for the present and hope to hear
from you in due course. Meantime may I say thank you for helpful
letters and information you have personally sent from time to time.
Congratulations upon becoming an old timer and to your
good work.
Yours truly,
/s/ Donald Hindson

Dear Mr. Livingston:
I have just returned to Houghton after having
spent nine consecutive weeks in the field with groups
of students majoring in mining engineering. The
first order of business is to gratefully acknowledge
the many courtesies which were extended by the
operating personnels of the various places that were
visitedo
You and your staff did everything possible
to make the trip well-worthwhile, and I want to thank
you, and the others, most heartily for what was done
for us.
It was indeed a pleasure to have spent time with
you and Mr. Murray. I hope that before long you will
find time to pay us a visit at Houghton; then I'll
take time off and show you about.
Best wishes, as ever.
Sincerely yours,
