Mr. Geo. B. Pryde:
Pursuant to your letter of September 21st with
enclosure of letter addressed to you by George Watkin Evans
under date of September 16th, 1920.

i1ir. Evans arrived on

Train No. 17 Sunday r.iorri ing and it was my pleasure to discuss
mechanical loading devices with him and to entertain him in a
small measure.

.

He is not overpowered by the Jones Loader which he
saw in the Pinnacle Mine of the Victor American Fuel Company
at Oak Creek, Colorado, but believes that it has a certain
usefu1ness in conveying material for a considerable distance.
He states that the coal business on the Northwestern
coast in in rather bad shape due to oil and to Canadian coal.
iJr. Evans left at 11:30 for Salt Lake where he will
spend two days, thence to Los Angeles and home.

Gentlemen:
We take pleasure in introducing to you Mr. N.
Tachibana of the _Saki to Coal &amp; Steamship Company of Tokyo, Japan.

In

our conversation with Mr. Dev,er yesterday we explained that Mr. Tachibana
was a coal mining ergineer in Japan and was in t his country for a few
months studying .American methods.
Our correspondent in Japan requested us to kindly have
Mr. Tachibana introduced so t hat he might have the opportunity of coming
in contact with the Coal mines in this country.
He expects to spend one day in Rock Springs, leaving
Thursday evening on the 8:30 P.M. train for Denver.

He is interested ini

the Butler Shovel but we understand that there is not one running except 1N
a mine about 120 miles distant which, of course, he will not be able to get to.
We would greatly appreciate any courtesy which you may
show him and will be glad to reciprocate in any way which we can.
extend our thanks to Mr. Dewar for taking this matter up with you.

Upon returning home I \tlsh to extend to you and
associates, our sincerest thanks for the courtesies extended to
Mr. u. D. Puterbaugh and myself \mile visiting your property at Rock

We both feel that we . have been very greatly benefited by
the things that we have learned and seen and trust that we will be
able to make a profitable application of the conveyors to our own
worko

I think that the Eickhoff installation driving the
narro,; entries in the lo,1er workings of the Superior mine more nearly
approaches our own entry driving conditions than any thing •e lse which
we sau.
Accepting your kind invitation to write you for any
additional inforoa.tion, we \70uld appreciate having the cost record of
the operation of this machine since it v1as installed on this job.
I·
believe r..r. Sharrer said that they started the job some time in IJa.y and
__ to this date have progressed something like 2200 feet with the double
entry, all having been done with the small Eickhoff unit and the Jeffrey
machine.
In order that we may estimate our costs more accurately,
we ,;ould appreciate having your record of the follovling for this jobs

labor cost
Power cost

The total of these items, as I recall your statement,

haulage cost \tlll be quite different from those in your mine.

General Manager of the West Canadian Collieries, Ltd., Blairmore, Alberta, Canada, who desires to look over our mines at

accommodating, and in several instances during strike troubles
when we were short of coal they have gone out of their way to
take care of us in the matter of deliveries over contract

Dear Mr, Diokenson;-I want to thank you for your courtesy
showing me your coal mining operation sin connection with
the loaders and conveyors. I appreciate it greatlyo We have placed
an order for 100 feet of conveyor with the air drive . With this
equipment we can determine just what we oan do with it and
should it not load ore we would be able to use it staoking
mill tailings. There was one for sale in Salt Lake but they
found use for it while I was there taking it off the market.
If at any time I oan be of anny
assistance in any way please call on me. I appreciate very

someday return the compliment.

De&amp;r Hr. Pryde:
I have be en intending to v,ri te you f or s ome conside rable time now,
but have kept putting it off till the ne xt mail and us I ha ve been fairly
busy since returning have not noticed the time fly.

I ha ve often tho ught of you and your kindness t o me while in your
district.
My ch ief, Mr . HcKensey , l e ft for the U. S. A. about a neek ngo and
I have asked him to call on you, \7here, I arn sure, you \·Jill be pleased to
show him anyt hin g of interest .
F e are in stalling Ei ckhoff conv eyors in our new mine here and would
like to keep in touch r:i th y ou :md ex change pr oble ms and experiences.
The co al tr ade her e has abso lut ely fall en to pieces during the last

6 to 12 month s and until ue ~e t to the stage of d i stilling oil from coal on
a commercial basis I do not see much c han ce of a revival.
The trouble in t his cou ntry is that the selling price is far too
high due l ar gely to the industrial disputes r:hich are co ntinually \7ith us.
My mine has been on strilce during the last 3 weeks duo to my taking
a man off a. job \7h ich pre viousl y required t ,·,o men. '£his I was able to do due to
altered condition s and although one rnan said he could do the job quite easily
still we are stopped.

Hope you are enjoying pea ce in the industry there although I saw by
the papers here that they had had some trouble in Colorado.
I also read in the p ress th at you were having a very severe vlinter
and hope you are weathering it all ri ght.

Fe have h ad beautiful weather since I returned there being scarcely
a '\'ieek no,1 but what we have a nice shov,er of rnin and with the exception of
an odd hot day have had none of our u_sual summer weather the result being that
the whole countryside is a huge garden; vii th grass, fruit, vegetables, etc., in
abundance.
I had a run of about 100 miles in the car today (Sunday) and for the
greater portion the road on e a ch side was grazin ;:; l nnd, Yri th e;rass from 12" to
24'' high; quite different from ;-,hat it is around Rock Springs, say you, end
also different to our ordinary summer when the grass is generally all brown
and dry.
Hell, sir, I must again thank you for your kindness to me and with
kindest regards to self, Messrs. Hicks and I.rrcKeehan.
Yours faithfully,
G. M. Hind1nursh (Signed)

Dear t:ro Himimarsh :

I r,as agreeably sm.·prised to :roceive your letter of the 21Qt ultimo,
in which y ou re counted so 1IJ of your oxpei•iel'lces sinca rctu.:rning from this
countryo
!-l; is rr.ther discourag;.ng to have a l ab o:r situation such o.s you bi).ve
in Aus·!;ral:'i.u, nhe1·e you can c:1. pply modern me·~hods of mining o.nd have . omploye·s
blocltl ng your ei'f orts. I believe they are e;d;re!imly shortsighted in doing
this be c2.usc· it nould sceo thut in
ma chaitlcal loading and more modern mnthods
of op~rati on in und a,tound the coul mines lies i:;he only ;3ource of relief from
the present doprc ssed condit,ior!s il'l ·;;he coal i ndust,z-yo This is :not only- true
of your coull'lliX'Y bu·1; is vrcrld-widoo Ue kl"1ou th at, t7ith the uork no hnve dona
machmtlcally , u0 nill ef f e e-!; substa.\'l~io.l savings, some of this being returned
to the men in be·l;ter \:&lt;Orlci11g and living condi·~ionc us \"1011 ao in higher earn-

inGS•
During 1927 The Union Pacific Coal Company loaded rleclianically
1,105,5'73 tons of coal at Rock Spring;,, Uinton, Superior and Hnmo., this figure
representing about '2.-0~ of' our· t ·otal p1·oducti on in all di s'i.ric·lis, an increase oi
about 501, over the previous yearo i:;e plan to load 1,500,000 tons mechanically
this year and have been preparing f Qr this by installing additional loaderso
\7e tlill install tr1elve a.ddi tional shaking -co1weyors equipped wHh •the Ernsbarger
Universal Duckbill 't"Jhich \70 developed here to supersede tho llcCo.rty Duckbillo
. It .is very. similar to tho LicCarty- Duckbill but uorks more smoothly ond will
cut do,.rn the operating costs on account of a much louer repair chargeo ~e
h,ave formed a conr_pany to manufac.t ure this device and have ob·to.ined sevprnl

Five 5-B.Uo joy loading machines have boen purchased for Hanna,
superseding the tuelve 4-B.U. Joy loaders thut \18 i'_ormerly hndo ,Vie ostimute
that the five modern machines ,.dll load as much coal as the twolve -old type
machine_s ~d uill result in a considerable saying.
~

!Jle a.re absolutely committed to mechanical loadi11g al'.ld feel that
it is the. ansuer to many of our problems in the coal .i ndustry.
·iJe are having ·c.he usual s.o a.sonal t:Jlump, our mines working nbout
half time, but for the last six months of -1927 wa operatad quite steadily
,Tithout any labor troubles of any descrip~ion.

�The adjoining s·~nto of Ooloro.tlo ha d a rather bo.d labor situuti~n
on account of th~ I. VJ. \'.J. 'a colli,ig c. stdke which lasted for several
t.reeks. There ar~ aleo labor troubles :lu Ohio and Penn·13ylvuniu where ,it
would seem the Union has lost out on account of the dispute between the
operators anJ. -~ho miners regur-d:tng a ·r0cluct~ton in wue;es, but t10, in this
part of the country, hnvo been particularly fortuna·te in lubor matt.era,
and have . be en able to change over fr om hand ·100.ding to machuu.i.cal loading
\?ith practicully nq friction u:Hh our employeso
Ul:l have hud fairly good neather thia -~ ,inter.
There has been considerable anon in places but we rnudt expec-~ that in Hymning .

I \': ish you n ould ad vise your chief P· l.lr. McKe11soy» thL1i ne shall

Mr. G. B. Pryde:
Returning Mr. Hind.marsh's letter, received with yours
of the 20th:
This is very interesting, and I would suggest that you
write him, trying to develop whether or not Eickhoff is furnishing
him with duckbills, stressing the fact that the drives, unless
built to handle the duckbill, will not stand up.
