Trinidad, Colorado. Oct. 26. 1919.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This Is to certify that l. Peter Fern. Of Alamosa.
Colorado. have visited the property Of the Miners
Coal and Coke Company of Trinidad. Colorado. on
this 22nd day OF October, 1919. and this il what
l found:
16O acres OF land located about three and ono
half miles southwest OF Trinidad. Colorado. This
-property has n small mine in operation at the
present date. which they produce between fifty
and one hundred tons of coal per day. find their
coal to be clean they represent It to be. and be-
tween three and four feet in thickness; also find
that they have a good top and good bottom
which this top will stand for a long wall work or
a double room system, either one that tho Company
decides to work. I also figure as an experienced
mining man that this property will produce 5000
tons per acre The only thing that see wrong
with this property that the Company lacks Is =
railroad laid down to the tipple. and sufficient
screens grade their coal. also find the mine IL
perfectly dry and free from and plenty OF good
fresh air. therefore see no danger and no cause
for any kind OF explosion. fully believe this is
q safe investment.
In regards to the management OF the property
! cannot see but what 1t 10 under AZ good manage
ment as could be expected under the conditions

To Whom it May Concern

might enlist should have to return
to the service at the same salary at

to find people Of less training aIG

dollars more because the individual

could not be looking out for his ma

When these cars would start oil,
ono car, very likely, would be crowd

minutes along came the Brookland
car and right back of it a North

Now, if there are three cars stand

the company's man could change,
one to Georgetown and the other one
to 2 Brookland, wonder if there
would be any people left waiting?
