To whom it may concern:-- On December 4th , 1908, I made my third official visit of inspection to Mine No. 2 ~ t Hanna , Wy omin g , the property of th e Union Pacific Coal Company . In company .,aith mine foreman , Thomas i~'akeley I ente:red the min e a.t the mam.:ay and v:ent into the sec orid entry, ,1h ich we travelec'l to t he fFtce , exa,riin iri.g some of' the worlcinp; rooms . At the last cross-cut I •neri.sured the air ann found 9800 cubic feet trave ling per minute for t r. e 5 5 "'Uen at '7."0rk . vre then ca. !.e out to the manway and went dOY·m to th e third entry, which we trabeled to the face; Et the last cross-cut th e a ir 11easurecl 48oocubic feet per minut e for the 28 men employed . Vle ex;:.:.rninecl some of the working rooms ou th is entry on our way back to the :,1anway. At this point we met ge.s watchman David Jones, who accomp1:-..n i ed u s through the re st of the mine, where we examined some o:f the c.b e.nci.onect. laces. We visited thestable s on the third entry , and fr om here wen t ~ uwn to tte fourth level, and in to the face , measuring the air a t the _& st cress-cut &nd found 8280 cubic feet pas si ng per minu te for th a 47 en employen. From here we \·rent dov,n t o the fifth entry and went in to th e face, end measured the air . We found 5400 cubic feet p~r minut e pas s ing for the 54 men employed . We also visited the stables on this en try . From here we went to the seventh level and in to the face, ~•h ere the air ~easured 3000 cubic ,eet per minute f or the 25 men at wor k . We then crosse d the slo·,e and went in to the eif;h th entnr, v:h ich is j m;t b eic.g 'borken a:v:a.y .

I note from the foreman ' s report book that very lit t le e; as is f ound in this mine . I Vi0uld recomme nd that nt1ltlbe r seyen entry shou ld have a water pipe la.id the length of the entry, so th e dust ca·ri be le.in there ia t:reat C'ia.nt;er :f'rom the oust on account of shot f'~ring .

I also note a great imp roveme.r1t in the powder sy ste.'.Il sinc e my la st visit. The powder is now sent in to the mine i n lim ited quanti~ies, f.ud th e miners are keeping it in their boxes covered, instead of allow incr it to laf on the sicte of the entries . n 7 r'-) Othe:r.·,ise the i:;enera.l condition of this mine is goon .
