Dolores, N. M. Dec. 12, 1900. Mr. T. A. Edison, Orange, N. J. Dear Mr. Edison:- Since our last report the following work has been done:- Shaft #15 Sunk 15 1/2 ft. Present depth 99 1/2 ft. " #19 " 16 1/2 ft. " " 97 1/2 ft. " #21 " 11 1/2 ft. to bed-rock. Total depth 104 1/2 ft. " #22 " 22 1/2 ft. Present depth 42 1/2 ft. " #23 " 17 ft. " " 30 ft. " #24 " 19 1/2 ft. " " 19 1/2 ft. " #25 " 4 ft. to bed-rock. Total depth 20 ft. We enclose on a separate sheet the value of the shafts so far as prospected. We hope to be through with these shafts within two weeks at the longest and would like to know whether there will be any more work for us here when these are finished. If this complete our work shall we ship back the separator, screens, motors, etc. which we consider would come in handy at the Laboratory? There are a few items in your original instructions which we have not followed out as yet, which, under the present circumstances, we hardly deem necessary. We call your attention to the fact that however and ask whether you wish us to carry out all of them. We are both very anxious to take a trip through Arizona and old Mexico before returning east and would like to know whether you have any objection to our doing so. Hoping to hear from you very soon, we remain, Yours truly, Cloyd M. Chapman.
