The first is an <br /> annual report for 1970 that discusses prospecting around No. 5 Mine, <br /> specifically mentions installing a fan, power line and water pumps in the <br /> old (1900-1909) Coal Basin mine to start a new mine behind the old <br /> workings. <br /> The second is an annual report for 1971 discussing mining past the old <br /> mine and again pumping water. The third is an invoice ordering the power <br /> poles and hardware to construct the power line to No. 5 Mine. <br /> The fourth is a document from the U. S. Forest Service which answers <br /> a request from us (which I cannot find, but it was mailed in 1971) to let <br /> us use the old railroad grade for our access road; they did not agree to <br /> this idea and proposed this alternate route or asked us to submit an <br /> alternate route. <br /> I trust this will suffice to document the fact that we started working <br /> on No. 5 Mine before February, 1972. <br /> Sincerely', <br /> Environmental Coordinator <br /> DWBowman:ms <br /> Enclosures <br />
