Your letter of date January 30, 1950, with reference to m.v letter
of November 23, 1949, and your reply of November 25, 1949, regarding use of
Noo 5 fuel oil for treating slack coal at the D. 0. Clark Mine tipple.
After carefully considering the attendant danger in the use of
this oil, it was determined that we would not attempt to use same due to
its low flash point.

The oil is slightly heavier than the present spray

oil being used and it was deemed possible that the No. 5 fuel oil would
not properly atomize at a temperature of less than 180°.

In view of the

information from the Sinclair Refining Company that the flash point of the
No. 5 fuel oil is 200°, we have determined that its use is hazardous and
should not be attempted.

I see no objeot1o n to experimenting with

However, if it 1s necessary to heat the oil to 100°,

1 would sug~~st tb~t we refrain from using it.
As I mentioned before, extreme care should
be taken 1n the use of 011 for treot1ng coal , and no

(CC - Yir. V. O. Murray
Mr. J.B. Hughes
Mr. Joseph Q. Berta)
This has reference to our letter of date November 5, 1949, and your
reply of November 9th on trial of Sinclair No. 5 fuel oil for treating slack

at Superior D. O. Clark Mine tipple.
We were informed verbally this date, by the local ag·e nt for the
Sinclair Refining Company that the flash point of No. 5 fuel oil is 200 degrees as determined by the Pensky-Marten Closed Cup Method.
We were also informed that the Pensky-Marten Closed Cup Method of
determining flash point is accomplished by heating 50 cubic centimeters of
fuel oil in a closed contained which also contains a thermometer.

Heat is

increased at the rate of 9 degrees per minute and lid of container removed
every 2 minutes to determine temperature of oil.

The flash point is deter-

mined to be the lowest temperature at which the oil flashes when lid of container is removed.
It may be possible to atomize and spray No. 5 fuel oil at a temperature less than .the 180 to 210 degrees necessary with the present spray oil
being used.
We certainly would not be warranted in trying to use No. 5 fuel
oil with flash point of 200 degrees with present temperature and pressure.
Vie recommend that at same later date we experiment with the fuel
oil at a temperature of 120 to 140 degrees to determine whether or not the
No. 5 fuel oil will properly atomize at that temperature.

Your letter of date November 9, 1949, in reply to nw letter of date
November 5, concerning triaJ. use of Sinclair No. 5 fuel oil for treat ing slack
at the Superior D. O. Clark Mine tipple.
We were in the process of determining flash point on coal spray oil
furnished by the Standard Oil Company and now being used at Superior at the
time of receiving your letter of date November 9.
We attach copy of wire confirming telephone conversation advising
that the minimum flash point on oil now being used is 340 degrees.

This
\

flash point insures our heating the oil to 180 degrees to 210 degrees.
We have determined at both the Hanna and D. O. Clark locations that
it is necessary to heat the oil to temperature range of 180 degrees to 210
degrees to accomplish proper atomizing of this oil.
The advice that we have had on flash point of No. 5 fuel oil being
150 degrees has not been fonnal or been confirmed.

We have been trying for

some time to determine the flash point .of this oil from the Sinclair Refining
Company and to date have not received confirmation or the exact flash point
of same.

We have therefore deferred trying this oil due to possibility of

flash back in the system.

We will naturally secure the proper information

before attempting any trial run of the oil.

A tempora r y oil tre a ting plant has been construct ed on the ti pple at D. O. Clark Nina , Superior , at
a cost of ,J8 ,l 85.78. Thi s pla nt was first operat ed on
Septeu:ber 1 2tt , a l t hough there ar e soL1e minor a dditions
to be m~de the cost of t:rhich is est imated at .~ 255 . 76 ,
n!aking a total estima ted cost of _'.l~, 441 . 54 . I t is my
unaerstanding that this project is an experimenta l arrnngement for treating slack coal in the Roc k Spri ng s
Field . If the experiment proves satisfactory and a
n:a rkdt is developed for treat ed slack coa l from this
field, all of theoperating mines would benefit under the
!\r .c ••ng eme nt .
I:r. I3ayl~ss has suggestea that t he Gxpense of
this tempor ry pro_ject be c harged to Operating ii:xpcnses
on a tonna ~e ba Eis for coal produced in t he Hock Sprin~s
Field . In order to not abnorma lly increa se the cost of
our coal for any one month , it is propose d to spread
this cost over the months of October, November and De cember, 194~. This arrangement has the approval of tir .

If you desire further· informtion in connection with the construction and proposed operation of
this pl ant, I sugg st that you contact 1,a- . Bayless who

Your letter of date September 16, 1949, attaching copy of letter
from Mr. T. M. Naughton of the Sinclair Refining Company concerning the use
of No. 5 fuel oil for treating slack at Superior D. o. Clark Mine tipple.
We are instructing Purchasing Agent Dodds to secure one barrel of
No. 5 fuel oil (Union Pacific shop oil) from the Sinclair Refining Company
for trial use at Superior.

It is our plan to oil treat slack for use at the

bath house, mine office and shop buildings at Superior to determine its
effectiveness in allaying dust and any objectionable characteristics of
odor and its desirability as stoker fuel.
We will report on our findings after trial use.

Mr. H. C. Livingston

As requested in your letter of May 2, 1949, file 353-12, herewith
comments concerning temporary oiling installation at D. O. Clark tipple,
Superior, Wyoming.
Without bin storage facilities, the separation of a reasonable
amount of slack may best be accomplished by diverting part of the slack on
the shaking table to the mixing conveyor for loading with larger sizes, reducing to a uniform flow as nearly as possible the slack stream during treatment; probably requiring, however, attention and manual adjustment of oil
quantity while unloading oiled slack.

Diversion of part of slack flow will

limit the capacity of spraying equipment required, and is, I think, desirable
unless loading part of the slack with larger sizes is found objectionable.
I concur in Ur. Livingston's preliminary estimate dated May 3,1949,
of the cost.

Recommend consideration of Lion Coal Company's storage tank or

· tanks only.

To handle tank carloads of oil probably 12,000 gallon capacity is

required; we have 4,000 gallon tank on hand at Rock Springs which might be
satisfactory if oil is secured in smaller quantities.

N. Bayless;

Referring to your letter of date May 2, 1949, File 353-12, concern-

/

ing previous correspondence on tipple changes at Superior D. O. Clar k Mine to

prepare canmercial coal.
Concerning major changes providing for additional l oading boom to
allow the separation of 6 11 x 1 11 coal into 3 11 x 1 11 nut and 6 11 x 3 11 egg, also
lump loading, on separate boom, and various other cooibinations common to
4-track loading facility, we attach hereto print prepared by the Engineering
Department together with preliminary estimate of cost dated March 29, 1949,
of installation of new loading track and attendant work thereto.
The undersigned has also prepared print and preliminary cost
estimate varying from the pl.an and estimate submitted by the Engineer ing
I \

Department, copies attached hereto.
Referring to the installation of equipnent for oiling 0'' x 1 11 or
0 11 x 1-5/8" slack, we transmitted estimate of cost with our l etter of date
May 3, 1949, covering the transfer of available equipment at Hanna to be -

supplemented by necessary equipnent not on hand.

We assume that you will

wish to review this estimate before authorizing the start of work.

In the

meantime, we shall arrange for the transfer of the available equipment at
Hanna awaiting your further advice and approval of the expenditure in the
amount of $6,534.00, to be charged to operating expense.

Your letter of May 3 on oil treating tac111t1es tor

treating alack coal, D. o. Clark Mine, Superio~:
It is very necessary that 'kJ'e develop information

on whether there is a market .for oil treated slaok ooal trom
our mines in the Rook Springs field.
As we have discussed a number of times, the D. o.
Clark Mine is the logical location for suoh an experimental
plant.

Theretore l would suggest that we go ahead and install

a -plant, gathering up the material that we have on hand that
oan be used, and secure additional equipment to make the 1nstallat1on, 'keeping in mind that any material purohaaed or work done

should fit 1n with a larger permanent installation it we find
1t desirable to make the larger installation.
I would suggest that the cost ot this experiment
be oharged on a tonnage basis equally to all coal produoed

from what is known as the Rook Springs field.

.

A disousaion with Auditor Baldridge will no doubt
indioate that this material and_work should be charged to
Material , and the ohargee allotted to the different districts

on tonnage tor the balance of the year.
Aa ;he season is abort, I would suggest that th1e
work be started immediatel7, vith the thought ot having it
oompleted by the latter part ot August.

It is very neoesear,y that we deveJ.op information

I

on whether there 1e a market for oil treated elnok coal from

our mines in the Rock Springs field.
As we h v d1souesed a number ot t~mes, the D. o.

Ther tore .I

ould suggest that we go ahead and 1netall

a )lan~, gathering up t~e material that we h ve on hand that

can be used, and secure additional equipment to make the 1nstallat1on, keeping 1n mind that any mate~ial purohaoed or wrk done
should r1t 1n with a larger permanent install tion if we fin~

it de 1rable tom ke the 1 rger install tion.
I would suggest that the cost or this experiment
be charged on a tonnage basis equclly to all coal produced
rrom what is known as the Rook Springs field.
A d1souaa1on with Auditor Baldridge wil!l no doubt
1nd1oate that this material and work ahould be charged to
'
.
Materia1, and the charges allotted to the different districts
on tonnage tor. the balanoe ot the year.
A■

the season is short, I would suggest that this

work be ■tarted immediately, with the thought of -having 1t

oompleted by the latter part or August.

Mr. I. M. Charles
Mr. Robt. A. Dodds)

Your letter of date April 22, 1949, concer~ing oil treating· equipment for Superior and the possibility of securing oil treating equipnent from
the Hanna tipple sufficient to installing oil sprays for a reasonable amount
of slack coal at the D. O. Clark Mine.
We have determined that the steam heating and circulating unit
purchased from the Commercial Fuel Company, Pittsburg, Kansas on date September 5, 1946, is now being used to heat and circulate oil through the oil'
storage tank at Hanna.

Also that this equipment could be relieved and a

small circulating pump installed to replace same.
We have prepared and attach hereto pre.l iminary cost estimate of
moving and installing the equipment purchased in 1946 at Superior, together
with the necessary material and equipnent to supplement same to allow oil
treating slack at the D. O. Clark Mine.

Our past experience with the equip-

ment to be transferred is that capacity of same is limited to approximately
ll railroad cars per shift, which would no doubt suffice for the present
time.
Our estimate includes the purchase of a 40-pound p.s.i. steel
boiler together with second hand stoker, second hand storage tank which we
feel can be secured from the Star Mine of the Lion Coal Corporation; also
building to house the boiler and stoker and oil heating and circulating
unit of corrugated iron construction on concrete foundations with concrete
floor.

r

I

�- 2 We feel that all material listed in the estimate is readily available with the exception of the steel boil.er and we have asked Mr. Dodds to
secure quotation and delivery on a duplicate of that installed at the Hanna
plant.

Mr. H. C. Livingston:
Mr. I. M. Charles:
• Please refer to recent correspondence on tipple
chang~s at Superior to prepare oommeroiai" ooal. :
The maJor changes discussed should be worked up
1n detail. for disouss1on, and if we agree to make the changes ,
we will include them as a budget item for 1960.
However, I would suggest that you immediately

.

begin moving the extra oiling equipment' from Hanna and installing 1 t at the D. 0 . Clark Min~, Superior.-

Wha t we h ave in

mind is to make up and install oiling :facilities suffioien_t for

oi;:ting a re asonable amount of slack tor commercial sales
\

tor this year• e ma rket..
The install~tion of this oiling equipment will,
or course, be temporary if major ohanges are made to ·the tipple
within a year or two .

'

Tl1erefore lt will be necessarY, to

charge the insta~lat1on or the temporary oiling facilities
to operating cost, which should . not be a large item.

However,

keep in mind that any add1t1orial material required should be
secured with the thought in mind of being able to use it 1n
the perm.anent setup .

I would appreciate you gentlemen advising your
thought in this matter, beginning work on the installation as
qU1okly as possible.

Your letter or April 4 on oil treat1ng ·equ1pment

for Superior:
Mr. Charles' letter would indicate that the equip-

ment at the Lion Coal Company's mine would not be su1tab~e
for our purpose, or we woul~ not be justified in making the
install t1on.

However; I requested that you oheokup on_the

oiling eqU1pment at Hanna and see if we could rig up st.it"I

t1o1ent equipment to install oiling sprays for a reaeollilable
amount of sl ack coal at the D. o. Olark Mine, using surfaoe
equipment from Hanna.

Would appreciate further advice in this matter.

Mr. I. N. Bayless:

As per your request, Chief Engineer I. M. Charles and General Chief
Electrician U. F. Toucher have inspected the coal oiling system at the Lion
Coal Company's Star Mine.

We attach copy of their report hereto.

As per our phone conversation, we have requested Mine Superintendent
Hodge Burress to discuss the matter of releasing the Viking oiling system
originally purchased for Hanna from Pittsburg, Kansas.

We feel that this

equipnent, supplemented by oil storage tank, etc., will serve our purposes
much better than that inspected at the Lion Coal Company's Star Mine.

Mr. I. N. 13D.yless, President
The Union Pacific Coal Company
()naha, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Bayless:

Tb.is will, more or less, review previous conversations relative
to our placing an oil treating plant at the D. O. Clarlc mine, or
one of your other mines in this area, for use in dustproofing
stoker coal during the forthcoming coal season of 1949-50.
Currently, it is our understanding you are willing to permit the
placement of an oil treating plant at your D. O. Clark mine, or
one of your other mines, and that we are to be responsible for the
processing of the coal. Charges for the oil treatment to be determined by us and collectible by us fran your distributors on
any coal treated for their accounts.
Please be advised we are prepared to proceed with the installation
of the plant and now would like to have some understanding as to
the type of protect ion, or reimbursement, we can expect from The
Union Pacific Coal Company in .the event you should decide to discontinue the availability of stoker coal for sale on the connnercial
market. While we do not expect to be confronted with such a situation, we deem it wise to explore the possibility and establish a
mutual understanding as to what our individual liabilities might
be.

Will you give this matter your thought and advise?
With kindest personal wishes,

'
