Pryde The Union Pacific Coal Coo Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Pryde: I feel very ashamed that I have not sent you before now a letter of thanks for all your kindness to me when I was at Rock Springs. As you know, I was first buried in that ranch where, as you found, all forms of coI1L11unication were difficult, and since then I have been travelling back to Washington. All that I saw of your Company's work in Rock Springs both for safety and the matter of mechanisation impressed me tremendously. As I have told Mr. McAuliffe, with whom I spent a_/Il.?ft interesting day in Omaha, I hope to do a ffi"towards getting some of our people to adopt some of your ideas. They certainly could do so with profit. If you, or any people from your Company, are ever in London, you must of course call me up. j By the way, I should like to say again how extreme. typing work which he did for me when I was in Rocle Springs. He is admirably accurate and speedy. ly grateful I am to your Mr. Duffy for all the Yours sincerely, RNQ/BBS �Form 2191 C.

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 ~ ~ ~ · ~ ~ ?

YOUR REF _ _ _ __ OUR REF·-···-····-····...lJR/-AT Mr. Geo. B. Pryde, Union Pacific Coal Co., Rock Springs, \'lyoming , U.S.A. Dear i-Ir. 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.
