Reporter Mike Blakette toured the Kemmerer Coal Company underground workings twelve miles deep and witnessed numerous sights of interest during the visit to the Prontier mines.
The Kemmerer Coal Company details its mines Nos. 1 and 3 near Kemmerer Wyoming, noting high grade coal ideal for steam and coke, strong output capacity, and modern ventilation and pumping systems. Foreman M J Make and promoter M S Quealy are highlighted, alongside town formation, frontier supply connections, and safety measures including gas watches, rock tunneling, and standardized shot-firing practices.
The firm functioned as an independent entity dependent on domestic demand and rail contracts. Output rose with Oregon Short Line contracts but declined after Cumberland market shifts and financial strain. The following table shows mine output for the fiscal year ending April 30.
Cork Rodgers notes the Glencoe saloon license will expire. Talks of incorporating the village have not progressed, but coal camp residents may push for incorporation to retain liquor locally and safeguard themselves.
Dr C F Verry, shire sheep inspector for southern Wyoming, reports a new order requiring every flock in the district to be dipped for ticks under state board supervision between April 1 and October 31. He notes no major sheep disease east of Linas court and mentions quarantine debates near Ky ton and reluctance by some owners to dip during lambing.
