H.M. Livor, Esq., Gen’l. Manager,
N.J. & Penn’s Concentrating Works,
Ogdensburgh, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
Your several letters of 11th and 12th instant are at hand, and I have noted contents of same.
If your ore is dry as you say. Why do you have 4% & 5% loss in tailings? This shows something wrong.
I note what you say in regard to experiment with heater and about playing the hose on stock pile. I think you will have a rain storm, and you can then feed only fines from your stock pile; this would be better than wetting.
In regard to my going up to Ogden. I am so very busy now, it is difficult for me to get away, but I will try and do so.
Washing ore reduces phosphorous half; hence dust from 2nd mill will certainly run it lower.
I note that you have an order for a car load of the extremely fine float of Mill No. 2; I have read your remarks in regard to this fine dust, and the same [illegible overstruck text] are O.K.
Yours truly,
Thomas A. Edison
