F°RMR· R. E. Galbreath, Supt.-
v¤¤¤L¤¤¤¤ gggfglo "B” AND "C" SEAM DEVELOPMENT,
I ' NO. 1 MINE — MAP l-1·j8:
Referring to your letter of January 7th submitting development
map as of January 1, 19§8, showing "B" and "C" seem development, I wish
you would give us an estimate of what you, as Superintendent of our
Gompany's coal mines, feel you can get out of the No. l Mine, "C" seam.
In other words, I would like to get a rough figure in my mind as to how
long we can get No. 1 Mine "C" seem coal at about the proportion we are
now getting it, with which to make our by—product coke at South Chicago.
I recall your report of February 19, 1937, and the sheets
attached thereto, No. l sheet for instance shows a total of U95,91§ tons
of high coal, low coal, and very low coal in the Lewis White lease, for
instance, in other words, about one-half million tons to be gotten out
of the Lewis White lease as shown on this map you sent to us dated
February 1, l9§7.
3%
Now, in looking over the balance of the mapwgnd the development
work shown thereon, it would not look to me as though you had more than
about five times as much on the balance of the map as is shown developed
in the Lewis White lease, and if so, there would only be about 2,500,000 tons
besides what can be gotten out of the Lewis White lease. In other words,
about },000,000 tons of "C" seem coal that can be gotten out of the No. l
Mine, and at the mining rate of say 700,000 tons per year of "C" seam coal,
we would have only about four to five years in the future of "C" seam coal
in No. l Mine at the rate of 700,000 tons mined per year.
However, on the second sheet attached to your letter of February 13
1957, you show a total of 10,000,000 tons "C" seam coal from the No. 1 Mine
that is yet to be mined, In other words, we would have every right to be-
lieve from this statement that there is at least 9,500,000 tons left on
January l, 19jS, and yet it would look to me from the map there is not more
than about },000,000 tons. What do you think of this exposition of the
situation relative to "C" seem coal in No. 1 Mine? Is it all wet? If so,
say so and prove it.
