Mr. 8. L. Eddersham
Graduate College
Leheigh University
Princeton, Weiv Jersey
Dear Mr. Eddersham:
This will advise receipt of your letter of Juno 10th
making inquiry concerning a visit to The Union Pacific Coal Company’s
property during the month of July.

I am sorry to inform you that I think it is not advisable
to visit the U. P. property during the month of July. For your
information, due to dieselization of the Railroad our mining dis­
tricts at Rock Springs, Reliance, Stansbury, kinton and Hanna have
all been closed and at the present time we are only operating the
Superior District one day every other week or approximately two
days a month, and our present program calls for possibly two or
three days work during July. Then too the miners' vacation begins
on June 28th and lasts through July Pth. Therefore, T do not think
you would gain a great deal of information from visiting the property
as the Superior raining district is on a very slight pitch, and all
of the mines that were operating in the steeply pitching seams have
been closed particularly at Hanna, Stansbury and Kinton. There are
no mines operating in the Rock Springs Field on steeply pitching seams
as all have been closed down.
There is one mine operating in the Kemmerer Field under­
ground and a strip pit operating a thick seam of coal.

It is rather unfortunate that I have to pass this informa­
tion on to you but nevertheless I deem it advisable that you cancel
your trip into this field.
Very truly yours,
Original
