May 19, 1893. Parke & Lacy Co., 21 & 23 Fremont Street, San Francisco, Cal. Dear Sirs:- Mr. Edison has received your letter of 10th instant, in regard to Magnetic Ore Separators. In reply he directs us to refer you to M. Buchannan, of Arlington, N. J., and also to S. Hoffman, each of whom make a Separator. Mr. Edison's Ore Milling Company has four belt machines, each of which will do 100 tons in twenty hours, and which the Company will sell for $1,000 each F. O. B. New York. These machines cost $1,600 apiece, and they perhaps do finer work than you need. Each machine requires 12 horse power. Mr. Edison found it necessary to replace them by machines of a larger size. Yours truly, AO Tate Private Secretary.
