Letterhead of the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison.
Orange, N. J.
Oct. 29, 1900.
Messrs. Miller & Chapman,
Dolores, New Mexico.
Dear Sirs:
Yours of the 24th received. Carry out instructions about locating holes. Do not work the Mill but assay as you have been doing with last holes. We know enough about the Milling part to be sure we can get the gold if it is there; the only thing now is to ascertain if there is enough rich ground to make it worth while to erect a Mill. I think it poor policy to prospect old holes, so you better keep on as per instructions until Mr. Hoyt otherwise decides. Ten Cents per ton of material excavated as a general average would answer.
Yours very truly,
Edison
