Because of this, _ accordingly, the team will' remain at Rock Springs for only two days, Sept8alber 14th and 15·lih, returning on the morning of September 16th to Salt Lake City from uhore they 1V1ll drive to the Utah i'ields on the. same day. • As indi~ated in my original letter of Ju'.cy 28th, this particular team is as much interested in mnnaeement .procedure in large cOJUpanies as in the mines themselves. Principal objectives of their visit as described from England are (l) management structure in some of tho large coal mining companies,. (2) use of management efficionoy techniques, and (3) task 1n relation to fixation of wages.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska July 28, 1953 Dear Mr. Bayless: You might have heard: that the Paul Weir Company has an arrangement with the National Coal Board of Great Britain under which, among other things, we schedule visits for observation of American coal mining methods and equipment by teams of selected British engineers. While there have been a number of such teams in the country both in 1952 and in the earlier months of 1953, such teams with slight exceptions have been scheduled on trips east of the Mississippi River only. An additional team of three engineers consisting of Mr. H.J. Widdowson, Assistant to the Director General of Production, Mr. A. Scott, Area General Manager, No. 4 Area, Nor'th-Eastern Division, and Mr. J.M. Pumphrey, Area Production Manager, No. 1 Area, Northern Division, is coming over in September. They have expressed a general interest in seeing some of our western mining operations and a specific interest in visiting the administrative offices of your company. I understand that Mr. Widdowson, the senior member of the party is ~specially interested in learning about the management structure of our larger coal companies such as yours. It is my thought that the team would spend the first several days of their stay in Oklahoma, followed by a visit of a day or so to your Omaha office, my best guess at this moment being that this would be around September 17 to 1a·. I would greatly appreciate your letting me know whether you would be willing to have the team come to your office, and if so, whether the above dates would appear to be satisfactory, at least so far as you can tell at this time. If it further meets with your approval, I thought the team might go to Rook Springs the w~ekend of September 19-20, and have a fairly hasty look at one or two of ~our operations on the 21st to 22nd. These several possibilities would complete their contacts with Union Pacific Coal Company in that I am not sure as yet whether to have them see any other mining operations in the west, probably in Utah, or to return direct to the east where they would also like to spend a short time in similar visiting. Please do not hesitate to make any alternative suggestions that might ocour to you and to let me know whatever your thoughts might be on the above suggestions. With highest regards, ~-- Yours very sincerely, /s/ Clayton G. Ball Vioe President �NO. 20 �Omaha - December 080-3 Mro V. O.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Dear Mr. Bayless: The Institute of International Eduoation was fortunate again this year in having your oooperation in conneotion with the carrying out of a training program for six British engineers under the Mutual Security Agency, now Foreign Operations Administration. Through Mr. Lionel Farr of the Goodman Manufacturing Company you made it possible for these men, all employee of the National Coal Board, to spend a month st~dying the operations of your company in the Rock Springs area. This was a very fruitful experience for these young men and they benefitted greatly by the planning and assistance provided them through Mr. v. o. Murray. Members of the group have now returned to Great Britain and to their jobs, and expeot to find many ways to apply the ideas and broad experience gained through this year of study in _the United States. On behalf of the Foreign Operations Ad.ministration and the Institute I would like to thank you and the members of your staff for the contribution you have made to this program in international education exchange. We believe it has fulfilled its purpose of equipping these men to help inore~se the productivity of the British mines.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Co al Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. Bayless: British Mining Engineers As in the past several years, our company is taking part with the Institute of International Education in assisting British Mining Engineers who come to this country to do graduate work at one or other of our universities and then observe American mining systems. Each year you have been good enough to help us in that portion of the program which calls for observation of mining practices and mining conditions. This year there are six of these students, three. Soots, two Midlanders and a Londoner. Actually the latter is not really a Mining Engineer, but a Coal Technologist specializing in the uses of coal. They are now visiting mines in Illinois and will be in our factory for the next two weeks undergoing a course in different types of mining machinery. The records of all six men are · attached to this letter, and we do hope you can find it convenient to allow these men to study your operations in the Rock Springs area, and possibly at Hanna, in all of which places they can see conditions somewhat similar to those existing in their own country but where the most efficient mining methods are used. In the past the visit to the Union Pacific Coal Company's properties has been the highlight of these students' field trips, and they have been loud in their praise of the many courtesies received and the great value they obtained from the visit. We see no reason why this present group will _not also so regard it. It 1s not our idea to inflict any burden upon those companies who are good enough to accept these students, and the students themselves are willing to take advantage of any type of transportation which may be available. We feel, and generally the students agree with us, that a fleeting glimpse of the operation does not give the full picture and it is much better if they can go to the face at the beginning of a mine shift and see the complete cycle of operations, even though this may entail several d~ys provided it does not interfere with the normal procedures of the coal company. These men, too~ are the future officials of the various coal companies in Great Britain and are particularly interested in the management angle, mining �- 2 - engineering, etc., and if you can afford them an opportunity to study this as have done the groups in the past, we would very much apprec'iate it. If you can see your way clear to again have these men visit your operations we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs on Monday, July 6, and have them report to whatever point you designate. Should the group seem too large to be going to one point at any particular time, they might well split up and McCririck, the Coal Technologist, we feel sure, 't1111 find great interest in your methods of preparing the coal and its transportation. We have already met all six of these young men, three of whom have had two semesters at Penn State and find all of them to be keen, capable young men, very congenial. and mo st anxious to learn and yet put themselves at the disposal of their host. Needless to add that they are most anxious to make the trip and we hope you can see your w~v clear to accept them. With kindest regards and much appreciation of the help you have given us in the past, we are Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION 1 East 67 Street, New York 21, N.Y.

You were good enough to permit these men to observe your operations which are the nearest we have in this country to their own conditions, but which, of course, are so much more efficient. We have four of these students in our plant at the present time and are g~ving them a series of courses in different types of mining machinery. We have been asked by the Institute to arrange a tour ~o complete this course. Naturally, they themselves are most anxious to visit your operations and we know of no better place for them to see the proper application of all types of mining equipment under varying conditions and used at its utmost efficiency. The records of all four men are attached to this letter and we would very much appreciate it if you would permit them to study your operations at Winton, particularly in your heaviest pitch; at Stansbury and, if possible, also at Hanna. We would also appreciate it if it could be arranged for them to study your organization methods. If the plan meets With your approval we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs about Sunday, February 24, and have them report to whatever point you designate. All four are very capable young men and we feel sure that if Mr. Murray would designate someone of your officials to lay out a program with them they will be able to fend pretty much for themselves. We assume the young men would be in the Rock Springs vicinity for about two weeks since all are anxious to get as much value as they can from visiting your mines, and it is expected that from there they will proceed to Salt Lake. If the visits meet with your approval, would you be good enough to let us know if the proposed date of arrival is satisfactory, and if not, what date you feel you could have them?

Bayless, President Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Mro Subjeot: Godfrey John Williams Dear Mr. Bayless: We feel quite sure you kno\'1 of the plan, which is an offshoot of ECA, under what is known as the Ineti tute of Inter... It..at1ona1 Ed.uoat1on which allows British mining engineers to oome to this country and do graduate work at one of our universities. For the remaining portion of their stay in this country the Institute tries to arrange with some machinery manufacturer to give them a specialized course into mining machinery, and also to arrange for them to visit mining operations which have cond1 t1ons somewhat similar · .t o the part1cu1ar field in Which they are interested, and which are doing an unusually good job under those conditions. Such _a one is Mr • . Godfrey Williams whose record, as given us by the Institute of International Education, is shown on the attached sheet. Here he attended Lehigh University and has Just received his Master's Degree. We are giving him an intensified course in all phases of mini~ equipment. You will notice he wishes to learn about American methods of handling mining machinery, and part1cu1arly about .American methoas of organization. Now, we know of no one who does both of these things as well as yourselves. On top of that, Godfrey has recM,;ed some very sound advice from our mutual friend, Dr. William Reid, formerly of the Fife Coal Company and now of the Scottish Coal. Board, who told him by all means to contact Mr. Bayless and go out to Rock Springe and see coal being mined on pitching seams, under systems which are quite unique, where high percentage of extraction is obtained, and whe~e organization is of the veey beet. Accordingly, Mr. Williams would like to arrive in Bock Springs so that he couJ.d start in about Ju1y 10 and study your operations at Winton, particularly the bottom levels where e believe you have your heaviest pitch, both seams at StansbUI7, and al so at Hanna. He wouJ.d ·11ke to have the opportun1ty to study your organization methods while there, and it seems to us that he might well spend practically two weeks in the Boak Springs area commencing on July 101 as indicated above, and finishing up the week ending July 21. We believe that Mr. Williams has already written you �-2- for permission to v1s1 t your operations and this letter is merely to amplify his application and to add ourp1ea to his request because we feel that nowhere else oan he get such a thorough, practical grounding in the matters in which he wishes to equip himself as at your operation. In the few days that he has been here we have found Mr. Williams to be a very capable young mining man who has something to impart as well as to absorb, and we feel quite sure that such of your organization who come in contact with him \'7111 enjoy ;. ··:.·. his compaey very much. WoUld you be good enough to let us know if the suggested time meets with your approval and to uhom in your organization Mr. Williams should report? We will then arrange his schedule so that he will be all set to go on the maneh1ft on the day you designate. 1th kindest regard.so Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUT~ OF INTERNATIONAL · EDµclATION 2 West 46th Street, New York ~_fft~E OF QUALIFICATIONS Name i Godfrey John W1111amso Field: Mining Engineeringo Age: _ Country: 32.

I am also attaching clipping from an -English paper which was sent by Ur. Mitcheson. I would be obliged if you vd.11 return the clippin~ after it has served your purpose. HCL:DAT �BIRCH COPPIC~ COLLIERY near Tamworth Morris & Shaw Limited 5.12.1945 Telephone:) & )Polesworth 67 & 68 Telegrams:) My dear Mr. Bayless, I feel so ashamed not to have written to you long ago to let you know of my safe arrival at home and to thank you again for all your kindness to me at Rock Springs. I did and do so very much appreciate what you did for me - a perfect stranger - all the time you personally spared me and the facilities which you placed at my disposal to learn from your excellent organization how to try to do things better over here. I only wish I could have managed to stay longer to learn it better! But I feel my trip to U.S.A. was well worthwhile chiefly on account of seeing your Company and meeting you.· grand folk in Wyoming. I wrote a little note for our local paper 11 The Birmingham Mail 11 and I enclose a cutting in case you would have time to read it. - It does try to express something of my sense of gratitude for I do feel most deeply grateful for all the kindness shown me, above all at Rock Springs. I arrived home to a sorry political mess! We are definitely to become Nationalized whatever that may mean exactly. At least, I hope we shall be left some local autonomy and not tied to civil servants in Whitehall for everything. We a re promised this but politicians are a queer lot and are easily swayed by agitation so what exactly we are in for, no one knows. However, we will try our best to make the new set up work as it is what the people wanted but I fear the pleasure in management will be largely gone if one is to be at the beck and call of interminable committees and controllers and what not. I note you seem to be having a lot of labour trouble - I do trust that you will soon get your people settled down and be able to apply yourself to production in your wonderful 11 all out 11 way which I came to admire so much. Anyway I would be surprised to learn that you have at U.P.C.C. any serious labour troubles - your relations with your men seemed to be so good, based on fair play and natural respect and trust. It was a real joy to see how far this was possible and a real encouragement too. Please remember me to all my friends on your . staff. I have such happy memories of them and their care for me. , Trusting Mrs. Bayless is well and the children. Yours very sincerely, J.C.

He is interested in the personnel aspect, welfare and. training. He may also visit the oilfields. • I came to the U.s .A. to see how tr..e job is done, not merely . the techniques but a.s much of the whole approach to min_ing coal as is possible for an observer to absorb. Methods of _supervision, payments and costing as well as the actual working methods are of great interest to me. It is rat.her a large subject, but it seems to me impossible to isolate single aspects of mining withput forming a distorted picture. We should hope to go on to Rock Springs after seeing you and epend two or three weeks there.

Mr. Green has described t h e condition s very well, I do not, however, see how they intend to drive u11 the 12' place as they are not allowed to shoot either powder or Cardox while the men are vrnrking on s h ift. I do think that the shakin~ conveyor woul d be a suitable ope ration on long face vrnrk where they could shoot down enough coal during the off shift to work the conveyor the entire working shift. \'/11ile t h e c oal vfill average, a,s Mr.Green says, about 54 11 in nearly every instance t h ey have an excellent roof which would be ideal for long face work. �GOODMAN MANlJFACTURINO COMPANY ELECTRIC MINING MACHINERY Mr. George Pryde, V.

Dear Mr. Pryde: I have your letter of Februar~r 11th and wish to than..lt you for the invitation to visit your operations. I will be glad to make a trip to your works some time in .May it it is possible to do so. We have in this field a vary poor roof anc:1. a soft bottomo The over-burden is a.bout 360 feet in thickness, 120 feet of soft shale ahove the coal and about 240 feet of clay and eumbo overlying the shale. Working places must be timbered close to the face, not more than 4 or 5 feet distant from the coal fa.Ceo Entries are limited to e.bont 8 feet in vriclth and must be timbered With cross bars about 2½" centres. It is therefore doubtful whether any equipment requiring a large space c ouJ.. d be used to advantage in these ~vorkings. \1 e find that a short wall machine is probably the best macM.ne with which to do our cutting. Our grades are too steep for traction haulaee, some places ru.nning up to ,a s much as 8 or 9 percent. Yle are using, and, have fauna., encUess ropes very satisfactory tn haulage.

Pryde/ Rook Springs �Omaha, June 2., 1933. Mro Go Bo Pryde: Some months ago., Bishop Eo Vo Sha.yler of Omaha asked me if I could tell him about the fishing around Jackson Hole:, he advising that he had prOlll.ised Professor Knight, his brother~ in-law, who is on the staff of Ohio State University$ to bring him out to Wyoming for some good fishingo I had in mind getting Mro Mitchell to run up with the Bishop, steering him around for a couple of days$ but LonVs illness will perhaps prevent his doing this, the Bishop reaching Rock Springs about June 18tho I wish you would think this over and if you can get one of our boys who is an expert fisherman and conversant with the country, who would be willing to go up there for a couple of days., I would like to have him do so and I will personally take care of all expenses attached to same. I dontt ·think Jack Smith is a fisherman., but a man of Jack's fine qualities would appeal to the Bishop and Professor Knight. In this connection, there would perhaps be two or three ladies in the party. Please think this over so that I may discuss same with you at Rock Springs next weeko � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dear Sir: Tie have spent the last feu• days discussing and considering the application of what ue learned at your mines to our omi • conditions . . we find that the time \7e spent at Rock Springs has given us a fine background of information that will enable us to go a long ways in our omi mechan­ ization plans and that we \7ill avoid many errors that we would otherwise have made if \7e • had not seen something of your methods. The discussions ue had uith you and your superintendents has also thromi • considerable light on the problems \7hich you encountered in mechanizing your mines to the extent of loading l¾ million tons per year mechanically. Although our problems are different than yours the same control and we feel that the information we obtained is principles uill • invaluable. I received the statements you mailed me which revise practically to date the information as to capital investment, production etc., that was published in the Mining Congress Journal in February 1930, and I appreciate getting this information so quickly after it was requested. In making our estimates this information will be of great value in determining the reasonableness of the capital expenditures we will have to make in order to mechanize any of our mines. 1'.a.y I again express the appreciation and thanks of myself and my operating colleagues t:r. Baylor and Mr. Fancourt for your consideration and hospitality which we feel can never be adequately repaid. If we can ever be of any assistance to you or your organization we would welcome the opportunity to repay your hospitality. Very truly yours, hlining Engineer. �PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK C O MMERCIAL TRUST BUILDING I BROADWAY HE BERWIND-WHITE COAL MINING COMPANY EUREKA BITUMINOUS COAL WINDBER , PA.

Yours very truly, FSS JS �THE HUDSON COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF GENERAL MANAGER CAOWALLAOER SCRANTON , PA. EVANS . JR. Daoember 9th, 193). GENERAL MANAGER Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President & General Manager, Union Pacific Co al Com:pg.ny, Rock Springs 9 '\Vyoming. Dear Mr. Pryde : This letter is to repeat to you the appreciation that I feel for the magnificent treatment which you and your staff gave to me while I was in Rock Springs. It was very kind indeed of you to devote your tirre to ma, and I assure you that I appreciate your courtesy. The admirable arrangemen ts which were made enabled me to see far mare in two days than I ba.d expected to be able to see. Soma da.v I hope that you will come east and visit the anthracite region so as to observe our development of irechanical loading, and if you do I hope that you will give me an opportunity to entertain you, so that I can, in some small measura, repay the kindness which you have shown me. No doubt Mr. Saunders has told you of our hectio trip to Craig. The liveryman certainly "pulled a hot one" on us when he took us out on tlle desert in a broken-down Willys-Knight instead of the Cadillac which ha was supposed to :pro duoe. However, we got through all right, and I am hoping that Saunders returned safely. I have a card from him dated Baggs, Wyoming, December 4th, m.ich leads me to believe that he had to s~nd the night the re. I came east from Denver: stopped off in Omaha for ~day, and attempted to fly here from Chicago, but only got as far as Cleveland where the air journey was stopped by bad weather. Give my regards pl ease to Mrs. Pryde, and my thanks to her : for her· e nterta inment. With kindest regards, I am, General 'Manager. �lir . li.u/_;c.,no I.:cJ\uliffo: t1r .

Edg e\1orth, a former student of the School of 15:i.nes who \'1as instrumimtal in bringing the class here last year, _ that the students will not come to ~ock Springs this yea.r on account of going to the zinc district in Joplin, Missouri. I regret this very much but we have no control over the arrangement of their itinerary. I have been after this matter but unfortunately with negative results. Please return my file when it he.s served your purpose. �WALTER F . CLARKE GENERAL MANAGER 2- 26t1:.- 30 :•.l.

I am of the opinion that p~tent to settlers uao issued only upon ful• filment of requirements of Romestead entry and that sale was made only on public lands, kno'Oll to contain minerals, and thero• tore, not subject to Homestead or Desert Entry. The proportion of public l!.i.nd passed by Grants to Railro~ds uould total but c negligible percentngo of the public land of the crest. Your statement regarding a fixed standard price of $,.oo per acre should be checked. I believe that there uaa a fixed price uhen acreage m1s 'vithin a 5.. or 10-mile limit of a railroad., Thie price decreased materially when acreage vaa outside the mileage limit. I do not believe, however, that your statement of a stan• dard $,.oo per acre is correct. • Pg. 5 - Par. l • I think that, previouo to "fairly recently," a 60~ recovery estimate is high. Pg. 6 - Par. 2 - My idea would be that the function of plan approval would be better if vested in the "Supervisors " en• torcement of plans and safety t7ith H. ?.1 .. Inspectors. Pg. 9 - Par. l • lly personal idea is that any plan uhere• in the ownership ~as vested in ouners other than the operators, and ~bich contemplated the eventual _extinction of royalty payments, uould involve many complications ond would be of doubtful merit.

Graf, • Mi~ning Engineer Hindenburg-Borsigwerk o.s. Margaretheustr 2 Aug. 31st, 1937 Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, Pres., The Union Pacific Coal Co., 1416 Dodge St., Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. McAuliffe: I am quite late ans\"; ering your very interesting letter of April 26, 1937, which I enjoyed very much. I am looking forward with great interest for the copy of the printed contract of your new mge scale, which you kindly offered to send me. It is always good to be able to compare and maybe learn out of the experiences in the other parts of the TTorld. Today I wonder '\'lhether I might beg you to do me a favor. Mr. Carl Theodor Roechling from Saarbruchen, Gerll'.any, only son and heir of the large steel wo'rks "in the Saar.:Basin~ ,7li6- oTTns -coa l - and 'ore mines as well, is corning over to the United States during the latter part of September for a short visit. ffllile spending most of his time visiting steel works, he asked me whether I could not arrange for him to visit the mines of the Union Pacific Coal Co., where he TTould be very much interested looking into the scraper and duckbill operations. After my return to Gemnany in 1932 I worked for Mr. Roechling in one of his coal mines, where we tried out a low-coal duck-bill from Goodman, but did not make money on it, mile it was working all right technically. So you will understand that I would like very much ~.r. Roechling to see personally the wonderful success of the duckbill operations in your mines. Unfortunately Mr. Roechling is not able to state beforehand the date of his arrival~ nor the length of his stay, so ·I would be very glad if you could notify Mr. Pryde or Mr. Bayless in Rock Springs that Mr. Roechling is to come some day during the latter part of September (he will send a telegram to Rock Springs of course a day or two before he arrives). and that he is interested to see scraper and duckbill operations, the latter under unfavorable conditions, if possible. Mr. Roechling knov.s the American language sufficiently. I would indeed appreciate very much if you would give Mr. Roechling a chance to visit the Rock Springs mines and maybe let him take a look into the development plans of the new D. o. Clark mine in Superior which I learned will be the largest and most modern mine west of the Mississippi. Mrs. Graf and I are well as Dr. Witte and Mr. Witte are getting along fine. Around the mines we have a real boom-time right now, we cannot get out enough_ coal to f ~il.fill the demand. It is funny, that either overproduction or underproduction was to be contended with, it never happens that we can work just up_ to capacity. \ I hope Mrs. McAuliffe and you as well as the Union Pacific family in Rock Springs are in good health and getting along fine. Please give my and Mrs. Graf 1s kindest regards to Mrs. McAuliffe, Very respectfully yours, /sgd/ Fred A Graf ��34 0 ? ~ J I ~ ~ J'~ ~ ~ It.~. /4. ~ -/ c; f3 y ~ , 4 - : ' , ca U<f ~ ~ ~ · ~ ~ ?

Pryde, ~ My father has asked me to write to introduce Dr. se 11, P?-~~e~ ,. late Principal of the Fife Mining School , w~ = retired here recently after many years of service in Scotland as a Mining Teacher. Dr. Parker is making a world tour and as he has heard about the Union Pacific Coal Co., and of the work you are doing, he would like to visit your properties. Dr. Parker has a great wealth of knowledge of Scottish Mining and you will find him a very interesting personality. He will write you himself as he moves nearer to Wyoming and we would be greatly obliged if you would give him facilities for such a visit. I, myself, have moved to a riew sphere of activities in this Company. I am now in the Office doing the Planning work for Comrie and also assisting my father, in detail. We have ou.r new shafts more than half way down and we expect to couple them up before the end of this year. I propose to send you some details later on, for your ovm information. With regard to our Safety Campaign v'le are she 1.ving even greater progress this year and while we cannot yet equal you with regard to the number of man hours per lost time accident, we think that our accidents are, on the average, much less severe. I trust that Mrs. Pryde and yourself are in good health. With my father's be~t wishes and my kindest regards to you. -, ~~~ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On this work it is anticipated that Mr. Owings viill be accompanied by a representative from this office, and it will be much appreciated if permission could be granted for this visit. It is believed that the general information which the Bureau is securing by this study ~111 be of definite inter~st and value to coal operators when published.

Pryde; I hope that you will forgive me for not writing sooner to thank you for the wonderful treatment that I received from you and your other officials, especially Mr.· V. o. Murrfi?Y', during my short visit with you last montho My first alabi for not writing to you ·before is that I have been very busy installing some new shakers and cutters and trying to take advantage of some of the education that I received at your mines and my second alabi is that I wanted to read the books that you so kindly presented me with. I must say that I especially enjoyed "The History of the Union Pacific Coal Mines" and I was very interested in the marveloUB strides that you have made from a safety point of view. '--------- Your Old Timers Assn. must certainly be a wonderful organization and it must help a lot in creating a better feeling between the Company and its Employees. The Company Magazine is certainly well set up and was very interesting to me so that it must be much more so to your enployees. \',j . The book of Standards is certainly complete and well written. It certainly must be well worth while and there should not be any excuse for your Officials of workmen not doing their work correctly and at the same time you do not ask them to do the impossible or anything that is out odt the way. I would say that you simply ask them to use plain comm.on senoe which, after all, is something that a whole lob of us do not use often enough. Again thanking you for your kindness and generosity and assuring you that we will be olily too glad to have any of your Officials visit us at any time that they may be passing this way. ; ; a l y yours ~ M. ii. co~n, Engineer.

N. Bayless, Vice-Pres. & Gen. Mgr. Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Bayless: I want to thank you for returning my glass case, which I imagine I left in your car. I thought about it after we had driven a few miles out of Rock Springs, and both Jimmy and I figured I had left it in your car when I took the glasses out of the case at Superior. I want to thank you again for the time you spent with us and the things ~e s aw around your properties. We were both impressed by the fine equipment you have and the good engineering that has been applied. The way you have standardized on equipment and simplified the general operations is particularly interesting to me personally. Since returning I have checked the number of different mine cars we have at our mines, and I find that we have 8 separate mine cars, with coal capacities rangine from 2,520 lb. to 10,600 lb. We also have great variation in voltage used; three mines use 220 AC for mining equipment, one 550 DC and one 440 AC. It seems to me that we have a lot to do to standardize and simplify some of these things. We do not think we will take much part in the increased coal capacity in connection with the announced expansion of the pig iron industry in Utah. From all I could learn, they are going to open new mines south of Horse Canyon, which I understand is also in Government ground. These openings would be about 3 miles south of the tovm of Columbia or about 7 miles south of Sunnyside. They have done some surface ··pro~pecting around the coal outcrop in this vicinity with favorable results. I suppose the R.F.C. and the Defense Plant Corporation think . it more advisable to keep the operations unscrambled with existing ones, but this will no doubt delay the day the desired production can be obtained. I think we can solve the problem of Sunnyside without this Government business, and I am not much disappointed in the outcome. Trust that you can find time soon to come out our way and let us return your many courtesies. CPH:AO C aude P.
