Hernandez <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />State of Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Basin Resources, Golden Eagle Mine <br />Permit No. C-81-013 <br />Mr. Hernandez: <br />As you are probably aware, I am sick and tired of you people acting <br />like you are on the Mine's payroll. I request that you get off your ass <br />and start doing your job.

Do you have any more asinine questions <br />like furnishing you a map showing the well? This photograph <br />also makes moot the equally asinine proposition that the <br />people who built the road and the air shaft could possibly <br />have done so without knowledge of the well. <br />2. We took the under-oath deposition of Ron Thompson (Mine <br />Engineer) who testified that the casing job on the air shaft <br />hole was improperly done. The net result is that he testified <br />that they are making twenty gallons of water per minute at the <br />bottom of the casing. Small wonder that my little six inch hole <br />is now dry with a multi-foot bore hole going through the water <br />formation a few feet from our water well. Why in the hell did <br />we go through all of your dilatory tactics about this well <br />situation? Why didn't your office know the facts about the <br />casing problem and about the water strata being drained? <br />3. Enclosed is a photograph entitled Tatum Air Shaft Exhibit <br />D. I am damned sick and tired of your lame excuses. This <br />vegetation is dead, dead, dead!! It is very obvious that we <br />
