[D8034ZCD], Letter from Nicholas C Lorentzen to Thomas Alva Edison, May 17th, 1880

Editor's Notes

Writes about prevalence of gold-bearing black sand in Oregon. Lots of water, no winter frost or snow. Marg: "We have an ap which will separate the finest flour gold from blk sand but to make it pay sand shld be very blk & not mixd with much white or rose cold sand. If a large deposit of this can be found the machine will answer admirably. We expect to have an agt up on that coast next summer."
