For your information, there may be some difficulty for these gentlemen to see the shuttle cars in operation at ths mines on these dates due to our working time being somewhat curtailed at the present time. During ‘the past weeks ths mines have been working on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I am unable to state at this time just what days we will be work­ ing next week.

We wish to make report of their visit, which consisted of a party of seven men arriving by private plane at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 15, the personnel arriving being as followss, F, Mo Groves, President, So Jo Groves and Sons Company A. Co Fletcher, Vice President, So J. Groves and Sons Company No 17, Mead, Geologist, So Jo Groves and Sons Company No L« Mitchell, Pilot, So J.

Ho Berney, District Sales Manager, Walter Bledsoe and Company Address; 1481 Northwestern Bank Building Minneapolis, Minnesota Mr, Charles and the undersigned met the plane at the Rock Springs airport and were advised by Mr. Fo M, Groves that their time was short and I they wished to visit Superior and Hanna and return to Sheridan on the evening of the same day. We took the men to our office and discussed the map describ­ ing the No. 1 Seam location in the vicinity of Superior D, 0, Clark Mine and a short visit was made to this location. The party, accompanied by Mr. Charles, flew to Rawlins and v?as met there by Mine Superintendent Burress, who took the men to visit the Nugget Coal Company strip operation, the strip operation of the Monolith-Portland-Midwest Company and an inspection of the potential strip area to the north and west of the Nugget Coal Company opera­ �- 2 We did not accompany the party on their Hanna trip for reason of over­ tion. loading the plane and lack of enthusiasm for flying. Our short discussion with the party left the following impressions5 1« The So Jo Groves and Sons Company have a considerable amount of dirt moving equipment which they feel can be assigned to coal stripping operation with a greater return or realisation than can be derived from competitive bidding on highway and other work. 2. The personnel of Walter Bledsoe and Company, who we under­ stand are both coal brokers and mine operators, are primarily interested in securing cheap coal to place in competition foi* marketing in the Dakotas and Twin Cities area,, 3. The party had visited the Sheridan area on Friday and were very much impressed by the comparative analysis of Superior, Hanna and Sheridan coals. 4. The representatives Of ’Walter Bledsoe and Company would much prefer to secure Hanna or Superior coal for marketing, however Hr. Head of the S. J. Groves and Sons Company left us with the impression that he preferred Sheridan coal and his reason is no doubt ease of stripping as compared with other locations. We furnished a plat of the area at Ho. 1 Seam, Superior, and did not advise that we had relinquished the lease on same. We also furnished them copy of our analysis of Superior and Hanna coals. No plats were furn­ ished of the Hanna potential strip location. No committments of any nature as to possibility of leasing or contract to strip or load coal for our purposes or others was made by this office. The inspection and discussion was very brief due to the fact that the men arrived here at 10 a.m., left for Rawlins at ls30 p.m. without any time out for lunch and returned to Rawlins from Hanna around 5 p.m. The hurried nature of the trip by the visitors would indicate to the undersigned that they are not particularly interested.
