Letterhead of Derby Lead Company, Elvins, Missouri. April 5, 1900. Mr. W. S. Mallory, Vice Pres., N. J. & Pennsylvania Concentrating Works, Edison Laboratory, Orange, N. J. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 2nd inst. received and contents noted. In reply to your inquiry, would say that the Ore after passing through the Edison dryer at the old mill was elevated to a tower screen, the throughs from which were delivered upon a belt conveyer which delivered them immediately into the separator house. The overs from said screen were delivered upon another belt conveyer which carried them to the intermediate rolls. These overs are not returned through the dryer, nor were they ever thus returned. If you had any point you wish to establish by this returning of the overs through the dryer mixed with the wet material, I am sorry that the facts will not answer your purpose, but such is the case. Yours very truly, [J. A.?] Van Mater, <APR 7 1900> <WS Mallory> <Letter 4/7/1900>
