Richard: Your letter of date October 6, r equesting information concernine limit of depth of cover for succes sful ex.traction of coal s eam by room and pillar method. tluy I correct your stater.1ent that the 1·:inton No. 1 L1ine has not been in operation since Auf;Ust~ 1948. The ·.-.1inton No. 1 !ine v1as in oparation at the time of your visit in Hay and i s continuin.., operation at this time. It is unfortunate that you did not av.nil yourself of the opportunity to observe conditions ·present in the 1:Jinton tJo. 1 !jine. r:a are successfully executing room and pillar method of extraction in ;·'J inton No. 1 Hine under approximately 1800 fe et of cover. The sinking of the slope at Winton No. 1 nas stopped due to encountering unmerchuntable coal ( excessive impurities) rather than depth of cover. There are so many variables to consider in determining the maximwn amount of overburden for successfully extracting coal by room and pillar ·method that ne defer making any comment on your problem or that of others without detailed information., followed by a precise end c o.reful engineering analysis of same. Further, it has been my personal experience that an engineering analysis does not alv1ays indicate or solve the mining problem. In short, it is necessary to apply good engineering practice and thereafter a 11 cut and t.ried 11 method to determine exactl,7 v1hat can be accomplished under prevailing conditions. In the Rock Springs field it has been · pretty nell determined that with overlying shales and sandstones a r.:i.a.ximurn cover or over-burden of 2000 feet limits the full and economic extraction of the coal seam. \'le are sorry to decline your request for geologic sections, together v1ith tensile streneth of overlying strata in coal seams and resultant pressures as same would entail a very expensive procedure on our part.

I am ready to leave again on one of iey trips to Europe and will cover many mines throughout Europe where I shall conduct lectures and act as consul ting engineer. However, before I leave the States, it would be m:>st helpful if I could spend time with your company in order to study chiefly, and in detail, the operations of duckbills in pitching seams. I am planning to go to Rock Springs, Wyoming, some time between April 20 and May 1st for a visit of approximately 3 or 4 days. In all probability, Messrs. Franceschini and Or~aire will mnt to join me since they are interested in the same problems as I am.

Tho Fren ch coal de posits are eenerally more irregu1ar, deeper, thinner a nd consequently more diffi·c ul t to work than those at pr e s ent being mined in the United Stat e s.

Mr. Duchateau is completing the first semester here at the Colorado School of Mines and has been engaged in a study of coal mining engineering. Insofar as his study in the u. S. is restricted to one year, he has expressed a desire to contact certain coal mining corporations in the West to determine the possibility of spending from two to three weeks at their properties for the purpose of getting a first-hand view of American coal mining methods. Insofar as the French coal mines are for the most part composed of pitching seams he has expressed a desire to see those types of operations. Accordingly, Mr. Livingston, I wish to take t his opportunity to determine whether or not it will be possible for ~lr. Duchateau to visit Rock Springs, Wyoming, for the purpose of looking over your operations. I realize there are many ramifications to such a proposal but would appreciate having you interview Mr. Duchateau during the last week in December or shortly after the first of the year as he will be making a trip to Rock Springs, Wyoming.

I really have learnt a lot during that visit, a nd I am sure we shall be able to improve our producti on when I go b ack to Puertollano. ~~ trip is close to its end: I am going to-morrow to Carlsbad, llTe ,:,1 Mexico, in order to see the double-trolley trucks (or shuttle-cars), and • later in the week to Joplin, Missouri, to see some stripp ing being don e on previously underground worked deposits. I i ntend to · sail from New York on the 9th of Aprim, back to France. Looking tbDough my files relative to underground gasification, I have found the following refernces, which might be of some interest to Mr. Charles: Iron and Coal Trades Review, Aug.25, 1944, by Foxwell; Colliery Guardian, June 26, 1936, by Chekin ani Semonoff: connnunication delivered at the Energy World Conference; The Engineer, Dec. 29, 1944, by E.T.Wilkins. I quote only the English written .articles. During my stay in Rock Springs, N~. Charles and I spoke of that question, that's why I think these references might interest him.

C. Livingston Union Pac'ific Coal Company Rock Springs , Wyoming Dear Mr. Livingston: When I was head of the French Mining Mission in Washington, several times I had the pleasure of hearing from different French mining engineers how much they appreciated the welcome that you and your company extended to them. I feel a little bit embarrassed to come to you again to ask a favor, but it just happens that due to the pitching conditions of your seams, the Utah and i"lyoming deposits are the ones ~hich are of most interest to French visitors. So far I have not had the pleasure of visiting these districts personally; I hope to do so as soon as I possibly can. If you find that this succession of visitors gives you too much trouble, could you suggest the names of neighboring companies in which French engineers could spend some time studying the operation of .American mining machinery? A friend of mine , Mr. Jacques Ledoux, a .French mining engineer with the company of Pennaroya, is going to spend a couple of months in this country visiting mining companies and manufacturers. Very likely he will call on you around !'./larch 18th and I would very much appreciate it if you could extend to him your usual welcome or direct him to another company.

Due to difficulties in transportation the arrival of these engineers was delayed longer than we had expected, and since their arrival they have found it impossible to leave Washington due to the urgent pressure of work in connection with the French coal mining program. During these months they have al,vays hoped to be able to find some spare time to visit various coal mines, and they waited until they could make definite plans before contacting you again. Their projects have been delayed week after week due to changes in our purchasing organization made necessary by the end of the war, and they were therefore obliged to postpone getting in touch with you. Under the present circwnstances it is still difficult to plan a program of visits at a definite time, but I would like to thank you again for your kind offer to be of assistance to us, and I wish you to know that these gentlemen and I are greatly interested in a visit to your mineso I hope that maybe in a few weeks or maybe only a few months we will be able to escape for a little while from our paper work for the more interesting phase of field visits, in which case we shall try to let you know our plans as much in advance as possible.

P0.rticular attention of all contractors is called to the fact that War De p2rtment approval of visits by foreign nationals to private plants indicates merely that the War and Navy Departments interpose no objection to the visit at the time and under the conditions specified. The company concerned r et ains full discretion as to whether or not the visit shall be permitted by them and this approval in no way implies that matters of private concern to the company should be disclosed or that the company should be put to expense or embarrassment. 2. Furthermore, such approval in no way implies a restriction on the disclosure of information concerning the manufacture of consumer goods, commercial equipment or other products unassociated with the war. War Department interest is concerned only with the maintenance of security regarding the production, plans, "know how", or development of articles produced under war contracts a.nd the authorization to permit visits for the purpose of discussing or inspecting the production of government materiel is granted only for the purpose stated subject to company approval . .3. In some instances the approval states "For final inspection of finished products only". This statement refers to contracts in execution for government agencies, and does not permit a tour of the portion of the plant engaged in government contracts nor inspection or discussion of government material in the process of manufacture or development. 4. Although the authorization may cover a period .of three months, if the government contract is completed prior to the end of that time, the approval is automatically cancelled. 5. tll visits are subject to the following restrictions, except as included in the authorized purpose: (a) Access is not permitted to sections of the plant which might afford the o~portunity of observing confidential features of U.S. Government work or material. (b) U.S. Government contracts are not discussed and information pertaining to such contracts is not disclosed. (c) That the arrang~ments for safeguarding U.S. Government classified information from disclosure are s~¼isfac1ory to the Inspector of Govern!nent Material. W ° CJ' ~ ;;, Lt . C'o1. G. S.

Bayless, President Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Sirs A Mission of three or four French !Ill.ning engineers is on its ~ay to this country to study in detail the possibility of modernizing the French coal mines by utilizing American methods and mining machinery. As you are nell aware, there is now a terrific coal shortage in France due to the fact that our mines have been operated under German occupation without any repair or maintenance of the equipment. This coal short~ge has been responsible for the worst winter we have had in France during the war causing a doubled mortality rate among newly born infants. Moreover, the coal miners are exhausted after five years of forced labor, and it is only by well planned mechanization that our coal production vtill rise again. We realize that this result can best be obtained by visiting American coal mines of characteristics similar to those existing in France, and we would appreciate it very much if you could help us in carrying out such a project. Our experts are interested in visiting all types of coal seams with pitch from O to 20°, thickness from 4 to 8 feet, plenty of gas, bad roof. Dr. Smith, Editor of "Mechanization" has suggested your company as one of interest, and I am hereby inquiring if you would have any objection to our experts visiting your properties. In case of a favorable reply, they will contact you directly and arrange a program of visits. As a point of information I \11ish to advise you that I am a member of the A.I.M.M.E. and am glad to send you under separate cover a copy of my report "French Coal Mining Industry" nhich will furnish you with additional data on the condition of the French coal mines.

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.
