E. S. Brooks for the past fourteen years was superintendent of the Union Pacific Coal Company mines at Hanna. He has resigned his position with the Company and gone to Big Muddy, Wyoming to become manager of the coal mines at that place. Mr. Brooks was the guest of honor at a farewell reception tendered him by the Hanna miners when he was presented with a 32nd degree Masonic emblem in the form of a watch and ring, each set with diamonds.
