California State Mining Bureau,
San Francisco, Nov. 26th, 1901
Mr. W. Preston Hix,
New York
Dear Sir:-
In reply to your favor of Nov. 11th I will state that it would be impossible to get the clay from the places referred to without going to a considerable expense at one point is several hundred miles distant from S.F. Furthermore, unless someone was sent who understands what you desire, it would be of no value as a test. Hence to do this would cost more than conditions would probably warrant as you know what expert charges amount to.
Very truly yours,
C.S. Long.
