Title

[D8543E], Letter from G T Walker to Thomas Alva Edison, August 20th, 1885

Editor's Notes

[Letterhead: Edison Electric Light Co., 65 Fifth Avenue, New York] Inquires about the most thorough and cheapest method for separating and clearing "the Black sand of the Pacific for manufacturing purposes"; has heard "of an attempt up the coast for the gold alone;" could a separating plant be made profitable? [Marg: "Apparatus is perfect for separating the Magnetic sand getting it pure for smelting purposes but owing to the great amount of quartz sand [illegible] extracting the gold will not pay"]
