Dear I1r. Averitt:
This wi 11 acknowledge receipt of your letter of
March 28, confinning our verbal understanding of March 9
in Washington, that two men, Mr. Henry L. Berryhill and
Mr. Donald M. Brown are planning tentatively to arrive by
car in Rock Springs Thursday night, May 19.
If you will instruct Messrs. Berryhill and Brovm
to contact Mr. H. C. Livingston, Vice President-Operation,
and Mr. I. M. Charles, Chief Engineer, The Union Pacific
Coal Company, Rock Springs, they will cooperate with these
gentlemen by furnishing any information from the records
of The Union Pacific Coal Company that will be helpful in
making a survey of coal reser ves in Wyoming. Mr. Charles
will also arrange for work space in our engineering office.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ I. N. Bayless
Mr. Livingston - Mr. Charles: Suggest that you gentlemen
cooperate with the representatives of the Geological Survey
in estimating coal reserves in Wyoming, by furnishing them any
infonnation we have. Will appreciate you gentlemen calling
this to my attention for discussion on my next visit to Rock
Springs.

Mr. I. N. Bayless, President

Omaha 2, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Bayless:
Confirming our conversation o f March 9 in ifashington,
I have arranged to send two geologists to 1,7yoming this spring
to gather available coal data from records of mine 02erations,
prospecting a.�d drilling, as part of our program to provide
a new detailed estimate of coal reserves. The two men,
Henry L. Berryhill and Donald M. Brown, both ol' whom a.re
familiar with Wyoming coal geology, �re planning tentatively
to arrive by car in Rock Springs Thursday night, May 19th, ·.
and to call at the Engineer Office of The Union Pacific
Coal Company on the following morning. If this plan should
be inconvenient, I shall be glad to consider an alternative
suggestion.
I greatly appreciate your offer to a llow us to examine
the coal data in your files, and to provide working space in
Rock Springs, and I am sure that with help from you and a
few others we can prepare a much improved estimate of coal
reserves in Wyoming. I have greatly enjoyed our few brief
conversations, and I am sorry that I cannot take advantage
of our Wyoming work to pay you a personal visit.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Paul Averitt

COAL MINE INSPECTION

Mr o Ho C. Livingston, Vice President
Union Pacific Coal Company
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Mro Livingston:
John P o Harmon, mining engineer with the Health Division of the Bureau
of Mines at Pittsburgh, has been in Salt Lake City for the past fer1 days in
connection with a Bureau exhibit at the Utah State Fair, and for the purpose
of taking pictures of better mining conditions and practices for use par..
ticularly to dress up Bureau exhibits at ruining conventions, fairs, and the
like� He desires, particularly, to take pictures of good change houses,
company hospitals, club houses, and similar subjects having bearing on safety
and human relations. I recall that your change house at S tansbury is out-.­
standing, and that cerfa:ihly, of course, your old timer's building is a
particular good example of a modern meeting place for employees and officials.
Probably some of your lamp-house installations are outstanding as well as
some of your fan installations. Perhaps it may be possible to secure pie...
tures of your dust control measuresa
I would like to have permission for Mr. Harmon to visit _you and secure
pictur�s along the lines indicated. He is after pictures of outstanding
good practices only. He is taking some pictures around the Arizona copper
mines during the next few days and can be in Rock Springs probably on -the
afternoon of October 10 prepared to secure some pictures on October 11 and on
the 12th should this latter date be convenient�
Very truly yours,
