\nDear Sir_
\nYours of the 20th received. I have no faith in Kansas as a mining state. I have investigated same ore but found nothing worth working.
\nWhy did you and Olcott lay down by the Concentrating works. It’s finished, and has been running until cold weather came on, when I lost so many men for lack of houses that I had to close down. I have no money to build any but am back in Laboratory making it. We sold several thousand tons of briquettes, and get things pretty well adjusted before stopping. Once the pioneer mill is [illegible text] of paying basis. Duplicate can be erected that can easily turn out five million tons annually worth seventeen million, and this output continued indefinitely. The deposits of magnetic rock are colonial and I have them all.
\nWhat is required is a business head and a little money to build houses. It will stand any amount of close investigation, both technically and as a business proposition,
\nYours
\nThos A.
