'Hanna Coal Company, Division of Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company has planted many millions of trees on lands which have been affected by open-cut mining. It is evident from the photograph that the trees thrive very well on this land. These newly created forests provide sanctuary for wild life, and in recent years there has been a moticeable increase in the amount of wild life present in these new forest areas. The trees in this photograph had been planted for some seven years at the time the photograph was taken. When these trees reach maturity they will have many uses, including that of supplying roof support material for Hanna's underground mines.'

The overall length of this unit is 55 feet. It is 12 feet in width and at its highest point, is 11 1/2 feet from the ground. The front tires on these units are 14:00 x 24. The rear tires on the tractor and the tires on the trailer are 18:00 x 25.
