A one-page memo of October 20, 1972, from R. E. Sampson of Johns-Manville's Asbestos Fibre Division headquarters to J. R. M. Hutcheson, comparing the ore reserves of the Pacific Asbestos Corporation mine as figured by Pacific and by J-M's Jeffrey engineers (about 15 to 17.6 million tons of ore). Sampson estimates the reserves' value at $5.22 to $6.09 a ton, or less allowing for discounts, proposes that "Conn's people" next estimate recovery and operating costs "after the mill is put in shape," and asks: "Do you wish to proceed?"
