Title

[D7919ZBY], Letter from Thomas Lanier Clingman to Thomas Alva Edison, September 8th, 1879

Editor's Notes

Zircon supply and price; wants to search for platinum. Long marg note: zircon not substitute for platinum; used only for bobbins on which platinum is wound. Since $1000 already spent, would like to go into mfg of basic oxide and develop applications, but high price of ore kills any chance of profitability.
