April 19th 1893 J.F. Boyd Esq. Genl., Supt Cornwall Ore Bank Co Cornwall, PA. Dear Sir:- The General is mistaken about the belt at Orange, we have none here, in our mill at Ogden we have about two miles of conveying belting. The mill is not now running. I suggested to the General that he could use such a belt dumping the ore from cars or wheelbarrows upon it and have boys to pick the same as in a coal breaker. The rubber belt is independent of the weather, and an electric motor could be used, the belt ways being in sections and the whole could be moved about by hard labor. I am at the Laboratory Orange every day and if you want to get information on the subject I will be happy to see you give you my idea. Yours truly, Thomas A. Edison
