Mr . George B. Pryde: Reference is made to my message of January 27th at Sharon Springs, Kansas, regarding warranty deed from Central coal & Coke Company to The Union Pacific Coal Co~pany, and pa rtial release of mortgage. These documents were mailed to the County Clerk at Green River for record, January 21st. On January 27th I noticed in the Denver Post that the Central Coal & Colee Company 11as in the hands of Receivers, and I thought it advisable to have these papers filed for record at once. Some County Clerks ~ill not file the papers until I remit the fees, and not being sure that these papers had been fi l ed, I thought best to cal l to your attention. The papers have been returned to me and I note they were filed for record on Je.nuary 24th . Thanking you for your trouble. Y.M. SHI (I ~//YI.

Mro E. So Brooks: Your letter of July 5th, with copy of letter written by Mro Svra.nn, and blue print, relative to exchanging land with the Central Coal and Coke Company: As I gathered by reading Mr. SWann' s let-'cer, Mr o Vnil is not recept~ve to the exchange , and I do not believe anything will be gained by attempting to force a trade on the Central Coal & Coke Company. In any case, any prospecting that is done on land to be taken over py/ ( by them should be done at their expense. I think the big thing for us to do is to try to get the tonnage up in the existing mines, developing the acreage mcmed by the Coal Company, only working out exchanges or lease-holds 't"Then it is de.finitely necessary to secure le.nd in order to keep ~p the tonnage or to maintain a mine bale.nee. As I stated to you in my letter regarding the Hanna lease to ra-. Hay, I .feel that commercial mines located on small tracts immediately adjacent to our principal development very largely depend on us for man power, there being hardly any doubt that Mr. Megeath 1 s force, I when he re-opens this fall, will be largely recruited from us. In substance, our best commercial producers seem to be willing and able to run quite independent of us, and I believe, so far as possible, we should encourage that sttitude, preventing the development of any complex between the Union Pacific Coal Company and the Railroad Company, which, £or obvious reasons~must b kept quite apart. ~ , --- 4 ~ / ~ // 7/'VL. �.,.

Dear Sir: With return of correspondence relative to exchange of No. 7 Seam underlying the City of Rock Springs to Central Coal & Coke Company for coal in Sections 19 and 20 - 20 N. - 104 W. at Reliance , call your attention to the second paragraph of Mr. Sargent's letter, in which he says: 11 lf it was thoroughly proven there mi ght be some arrangement worked out that would be mutually advantageous" . Please check up our drill holes and if another hole or two is necessary to thoroughly prove that No •. 7 is workabl e over the area we would like· to l ease to the Central CoaJ. & Coke "'Compa...11y. Note where additional drill holes should be put down and to what depth they would have to go to reach No. 7 Seam. Encls. I. �Omaha, Nebraska, June 19, 19230 Mro Eo So Brooks: I mailed the contents or your letter of June 12th regarding Central Coal and Coke Company's No. 2 Slope exhaustion to Mr. Keith• Mr o Sargent writing me under date of June 15th as follows: "Mro Brooks is right in suggesting that our Noo 2 Slope at Rook Springs is just about at its end. However. other development that has been going on for some time is progressing nicely and we should have within a fer. months somewhat greater capacity than heretofore and what is available gives us easily a life at om· present property or 12 to 14 years. "Your Mo. 7 seam in your land ahead· of our No. 2 slope as we understand is unproven, but if it was thoroughly proven there might be some arrangement worked out that would be mutually advantageous, but our thought is norr that this coal could not be reached by us except at an excessive cost of production as against our present workings and those that are already under development. "You doubtless are quite i'amiliar with our north property near your Reliance mine and if so will appreciate that here there is e. long life ahead of our company in the Southern Wyoming field . No.t\tro.lly our company is not disposed to consider releasing any part or all of this land. although admittedly it is conceivable that there might be something offered in some other direction that l7ould in a way, if not fully, compensate. If you have in mind something that you can propose that will really in your m·m mind i'ully justify us in talking about an exchange it oould be easily arranged to have our Mr. O'Flaherty go into the matter in detail with you or your associates so that a definite conclusion could be reached in a reasonable time.~ Have you any f'u.rther comment to make before I reply to Mr. Sargent: �'\ !..Ll' • i~u~ ne lTcAuli:f='c , k1rea ., r.i::.10 ..

II �Through their new mine on No 0 3 Seam would be the logical place to work No 1 Seam on Section 3 but this v10uld place this coal so far in the future as to make it unattractive as a trading proposition at this timeo 0 The haulage proposition to obtain any amount of coal from Seco3 through the Tipperary Slope \7ould consist of three hoists and a big motor inside and an outside motor haul of about 1"'ri miles and this would not appear to me to be attractive. A better trading proposition seems to be exchanging ooal on Noo7 Seam ahead of the present Central Coal S Coke Company's Noo2 Slope for coal adjacent to the Reliance l.ttnes on Central Coal & Coke Company's Sections 19 and 20 To 20 Mo Ro 10,5 1:"/o ';fe have sho,·m on attached blue print one of several systems v1here- by the coal ahead of The Central Coal & Coke Company's No.2 Slope can be lended where the present lio.2 U.ain Hoist can pick it up.

I estimate that for a.bout $50,000 The Central Coal & Coke Company will be in shape to obtain 500 tons of coal per dey from coal above the big fa.ult and the outpa.t :from this mine would increase rapidly with only e..dditional development cost until they would have an outpa.t of 800 to 1000 tons per da.v. It seems to be the recognized opinion tha.t coal in Rook Sprin§ and immediately south is a better grade of cormnercial coal than that to the north. The Central Coal & Coke Company's town prop0rty on Section 36 at Rook Springs uould likewise be increased in value a.nd their dwellings be occupied for the next 15 years a.t least. �( The Central Coal & Coke Company, in order to uork any coal on Sections 19 and 20 To20 No Ro 1O~- Wo nould have to make an invostment of $800,000 to $1,000,000 to build railroad tracks, open and equip their mines, build tomi and get a v,ater supply, but by ma.king this exchange this expenditure would be postponed indefinitely and at the same time this property would be producing a. revenue. If limited to coal above the big fault The Central Coal & Coke Com:pa.ny vrill claim they frill be at a. big disadva.nta~e in mining No0 7 conl at Rock Springs in that their development cost for coal under the town of Rock Springs vrill be from 1 Oe to 2oi a ton more than if the coal rra.s not s o eri tuated as the:, \7111 not be allov,ed to pull pillars under the area sho,•,n on map in broken line. (!Ja.rked "lfo pill:i.rs to be dratm".)

The Central Coal & Coke Company could open this mine for about $250,000 tp $300,000 as it would be necessary for them to build bu.t abou.t a mile of mine tracks to complete their Plant n~ar No.3 Pump Sha.ft ns the Reliance llain Line would act as a passing track but t his expenditure would not be necessary for at least_t.!i yearso 0 Benefits to be derived from an exchange of coal leases as mentioned above by The Union Pacific Coal Company: · 1. The Union Pacific Coal Company's present plant equi!)!llent and to..-m property at Reliance would be maintained in its present location for an additional period of at least 20 years by obtaining lease on Seams 3 and 1 only. 2. All the coal on Seems 3 - t and 7½ can be mined from existing Union Pe,cific Coal Company mines wi thou.t expensive ad.di tions to the present equipment. 3. »y- exchanging the lTo.7 coal under. the tomi of Rock Springs a lar~e area of valuable land suitable for torm lots would be released uorth at present prices $60,000 to $75,000 of which $25,000 to $30,000 rrorth viou.ld be available as soon o.s this exchange was made by releas lng land held back of The Union Pacific Coal Company's l.tine Office for ope~ing up the toI, end �4-- of this block of coal and the other $30,000 to $.50,000 worth of building lots :rlll be available if it is decided to open the main hoisting shaft for the big block of No.7 coal west of the Reliance Tracks instead on flat just south of old Moo3 Slopeo 4. Coal on Noo? Seam on Sections 19 and 20 north of Reliance owned by The Centra l Coal & Coke Company could be mined through a rock slope or rock tunnel driven from Reliance ~fine Nool or Reliance No 4 1tine and made available to the present equipment at Reliance and prolong the life of the town of Reliance accordinglyo 0 To open up Moo? Seam at Reliance \·rould probably cost The Union Pacific Coal Company nearly e.s much as it would cost T"ne Central Coal & Coke Company to open up the shaft mine for coal on lvOo7 Seam below the big fe.ul t at Rock Springs~ bt1.t either proposition Yrould not have to be considered inside of the next 1.5 to 20 yearso .5o Workings in Moo4 lline Reliance will be driven up to the south line of Section 19 in a few months and it will be advisable to take this into consideration in c ase a big exchange of coal is contemplatedo 6. The advantage of prime importance derived by The Union Pacific Coal Company would be from the fact that their present \·:orkings in Reliance Noo~ :.une a re not7 1..1.p against the south line of Section 19 of The Central Coal ~i Coke Company and can be extended into this land at once with only a.n addi tim-1al cost for ·the development and the same thing would apply to the Reliance Noo4 Mine in a: few months on Noo7½ Seam. 7. It would seem advisable to allovr the pa.rties working Nool Se8.ID to work NOo3 Seam also e,t l ea.st over the same territory that the Mo.1 r:orldn$S cover. It is not advisable to exchange No.7 coal belol'I the big fault unless found necessa.ry to swi.n g the aeal for the reason that the logica l pl ace from nhich to recover Noo3 coal north of old Uo.3 Ulne (consisting of 760 acres of 6 ft. coal or 4,.560,000 tons) is from the ne'\7 Sha.ft in the vicinity of lfoo3 Pump She.ft.
