- Editor's Notes
- [ENCLOSURE; TRANSLATION] "Report on the practical experiments on the Ars Minette in accordance with Mr. Edison's ideas. ## The experiments perofrmed here of breaking up the ore in iron drums and then passing it through a sieve led to no result. ## The experiment was therefore carried out entirely in accordance with Mr. Edison's theories but with the help of other means. I maintain that by my method of separation the most favorable results possible must be obtained, such as can never be reached in working on a large scale." [this method involves breaking up ore by hand instead of using machinery; then washing material and boiling off wash water; goes into considerable detail - Riedt is from Frankfurt; a second trial is dated 891115; both are enclosed with letters from Jacob Langeloth of American Metal Co. Ltd.]
