with assistants well versed. in the coal
mining industry, all of them capable
and farrseeing. P. ]. O'Connor IS sec
rotary and treasurer of the corporation.
GUY Robertson is general manager OF
the two plants.
1t was ten years ago that Mr.. Barber
took hold of this coal mining PROPOSE
ton during a time when that industry
in Wyoming was not as promising as 1t
is today. There was a question as to
whether or not coal could be mined
proftably because it was hidden away
in the mountains. The difficulty seemed
to be to find q way of mining the coal
SO it could be marketed profitably.
There was no certainty at that time
about this. Mr.. Barber has demon
strated that he was capable of solving
the problem. Under what were adj
verse circumstances when he took hold
of the proposition he has made a won-
derful success of the enterprise, which
is now one of the greatest industrial ac-
complishments in the state. 8
Among the men whose names will go
down to posterity when the industrial
history of the state of Wyoming is writ
ten the name of H. o. Barber will stand
well up towards the top. He has
brought into the industrial channels Of
Wyoming many thousands of dollars
from other states, and being a man of
large affairs and capable of handling
great business projects, when he set his
hand to the Poposia Coal Company's de-
yelopment he kept his face ahead and
his eyes well into the future, as a re-
suit of which he has gone forward rap
idly, improving his own condition and
at the same time being a great bene-
factor to Wyoming. 1t has taken years
of hard labor, but the works he planted
are bringing forth rich fruit.
H. o. Barber is interested in many
Wyoming business propositions. It was
through his activity that Casper has one
of the most modern business blocks in
the west-the Midwest building. .He
has numerous other business interests
in Fremont and Natrona counties, at
Thermopolis and in other Wyoming
towns and cities. He is one of the en-
pire builders of the west, laying the
foundation today for institutions hat
will some day startle the world for their
magnitude.

trainload of coal for shipment is made
up each day.
The coal of these mines ZONES clean.
There is little or no rock, slate or for
eign substance. During the ten years
operation of No. ! mine scarcely a wag-
on load of waste is noticeable. Slack
is hardly noticeable and the Ignite coal
from these mines is the finest that comes
out of western ground.
The rapidity with which a railroad
car is filed is little short of wonderful,
two machines operated by two men
each filling a trainload of ears daily.
These loading machines are almost hui
man in their operation and it is a fas-
cinating sight to see them placing the
coal properly in an ordinary boxcar.
The No. 2 mine has resulted in the
building of a village of several hundred
populations. The homes there have
many c~onveniences making it an at
tractive place for coal miners to live.
There is an abundant supply of pure

BY cHAs. J.

A MONG Wyoming's greatest indus
~ tries which have made wonderful
development during the past few
years and which are yet only In their
infancy, are the coal plants of the Po-
posia Coal Company, located on the
brow of the mountain at Hudson, ten
miles northeast of Lander.
There are two Of these mine OPEN
ings, Poposia No. 1 and Poposia Nc. 2,
No. 1 having been in operation for ten
years ana No. 2 commenced the mining
of coal only three years ago
Notwithstanding that there are two
up-to-date mining plants there with all
modern equipment, the surface of the
coal has only been scratched and the
amount already taken is trifing COM
pared with what remains to be mined.
There is such a great quantity of coal
within reach of the mines now in opera
ton that no effort has been made to
ascertain how many miles the seams
run. The height of the coal seams has
been tested and found to be from eight
to seventeen feet, and in width these
seams run out over the mountains like
an endless underground sea-a guam
tity SO great that 1t staggers the mind at
computation. And there are no
mines, east or west, with more modern
equipment for bringing this rich coal to
the surface.
There are agreeable surprises for the
old-time coal operator from the east
who expects to find ancient appliances
here in the mountains for the mining
of this coal. Each of the plants of the
Poposia Coal Company has the r. achin-
cry to handle the product in til most
economical way and nothing is hacking
to give the plant the greatest possible
efficiency.
A 17-foot vein Of coal would be
thought unbelievable by bituminous
coal operators in the east, so there is
an assurance that coal mining will pro-
gress just as long az there is a market
for the product.
The big Poposia plants are located at
the top of the mountain where the
seams can be easily reached. The two
mining villages where the homes of the
men working in these plants are located
Ore hidden away from the main arteries

mountain water and the houses are built
along each side of several streets, wide
and clean. Dunno is the name Of the
postofice.
These two operations of the Poposia
Coal Mining Company are the only ones
within several hundred miles and COM
petitive shipments are possible to points
as far east as the state of Iowa. Vir-
tually all the coal used on the Chicago
& Northwestern railway, east of Iowa,
comes from these mines, and all the
coal for local consumption in towns
within a wide radius is mined there.
Here is an industry that will prove
an entering wedge for the opening of
the great Wyoming coal fields. for
some day Wyoming coal will take its
proper place in the industrial world.
The Poposia Coal Company is a
Wyoming corporation with a capital Of
S1,250,000. Its originator, president
and moving spirit is H. o. Barber, of
Lander. who has surrounded himself
, 1922-01-22

of travel, the state highway and the
Chicago G. Northwestern railway, but
the company has a connecting railway
with the Northwestern at Hudson and
all the coal mined, except what is used
for local consumption, is shipped over
that line. The operation of these two
mines has resulted in the building Of
two mining villages of happy, content
ed employees who are living in the hills
and enjoying health and prosperity.
The mines also furnish the chief indus
try of Hudson and Lander.
Poposia, the village at No. 1 mine,
consists of a hundred finely built houses,
al more comfortable than those of the
usual mining village. There is a store
and postoffice for the accommodation of
the residents and a fine school for the
education of the children. The COM
pany operates three stores, one at each
of the mines and one at Hudson.
At the mouth of the mines which
slope down into the mountain, coal is
found at a distance of a few feet. In
, 1922-01-22

places there are groupings Of coal pro-
truding through the surface.
Modern mining cars Of two tons ca
pacity are used in bringing the coal to
the surface and they are handled in
gangs of ten. The mines give employ
ment to about 500 men and have a ca
pacity of 1000 tons of coal daily.
Both plants are electrically operated,
power being generated at two power
houses at No. L plant and one big mod
ern boiler plant at No. 2 mine. A mod
ern rope haulage system is used and
within, in bringing the coal from the
headings to the rope full sized horses
are used.
The coal coming from these mines is
passed over three screens, the different
sizes being separated by this operation
for the uses for which they are best
fitted. The larger Jumps find their way
into car-loading machines where in only
a few moments q railroad car of mod
ern capacity is filed and a railroad

Why Old Backs Ache
Many Emmett People Have Found
Backache to Be \ Sign of
Kidney Weakness.

What n pity that so many people
past middle age are worried with
lame backs, aching kidneys, dizziness,
gravel. dropsy or distressing urinary
ills. Kidney weakness brings these
discomforts in age or youth, and is =
dangerous thing to neglect for it leads
to Bright's disease and uric acid pois-
oning. Doan's Kidney Pills have brot

people. You will make no mistake
