Squire <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />215 Centennial Bldg, <br />I3i3 Sherman St. - <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Squire: ~ - _-. __ <br />rta , a uses <br />I : ~ <br />As you requested we have researched our maps concerning the mining activity <br />in the fire area. We have maps showing the following: <br />1. The primary mining was underground by Frank Yellico, et al, dba <br />Black Diamond Mine, which closed August, 1973. <br />2. The Corley Co. strip mined a small area on the north side of the <br />fire trench highwall in 1965 as shown on a R.A. Jackson 1969 map <br />extension. <br />3. Harry Weckerling, dba Canon Coal Co., strip mined the entire fire <br />area including the area around the Florence Water Line and the <br />present high wall north of the fire trench prior to Mar. 1, 1974, as <br />shown on a R.A. Jackson map of that date. <br />4. GEC completed the mining at some indeterminate time prior to Apr. <br />15, 1976, as shown on a R.A. Jackson map of that date. <br />The red ash dump area north of our old tipple site resulted from waste <br />disposal from our wash plant prior to 1970 when the wash plant was closed. <br />We hope this information is satisfactory. We can show you our map copies if <br />the Mine Inspector's copies have been lost. <br />Sincerely, <br />LC/ (3~ j~ <br />W.D. Corley, <br />President <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
