Orange N.J. June 24th 1891
H.N. Livor Esq. Gen’l Manager,
New Jersey & Penn’s Concentrating Works,
Ogdensburgh N.J.,
Dear Sir:-
I observe in the reports of the run of the mill which are sent to me daily that the percentage or iron in wailings or Mill No. 1 is abnormally high. On the 19th instant the loss was 9.38%. Mr. Dickerson goes to Ogden to-night, at my request, to find out the cause of this trouble, which must be corrected immediately .
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Edison,
P.S. There is scarcely ever more than 10% in the tails, and even with scarcely any magnetism out get more than 1 ¾ unit out.
