Letterbook, LM-211
This letterbook covers the period July 1894-Februaiy 1896. Most of the correspondence is by Walter S. Mallory, vice-president of the company; William S. Perry, secretary and treasurer; John F. Randolph, successor to Perry; and John P. Walsh, sales agent for sand. The letters deal mainly with stock transactions, personnel matters, property insurance, equipment, supplies, and sand orders. There are also letters describing operations at the Ogden works, briquette production, and product performance. A ten-page progress report from Mallory to James C. Parrish (pp. 729-738) ends with a prediction that "we will be able to turn out product at a very considerable profit, and fully realize all we have expected." Other letters pertain to tax assessments, the market price of General Electric securities, and Edison’s attempt to interest German investors in the company. One letter concerns a sprained ankle suffered by Edison. The spine is stamped "10" and is labeled "From July 5, 1894 To Aug 24, 1895." The book contains 1002 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 10 percent of the book has been filmed. The letters near the end of the book are written in very faint green ink and may be difficult to read.

I wrote yesterday to Hums tone, Sup t o f Telegraphs, enclosing a cop;y of a letter which vw> got from the Tel, Co., asking him vmat he was going to a<o in the matter as we were paying .him rental for tiie pole line. I will probably get an answer fr<om him to.-day oir to -morrow on the subject.
Requisition 5646, JuneSOth from the Works calling for Belt hooks was raoeived/and this morning we got. the enclosed letter fro i banning M, & Moore iri relation to it. Will you kindly see why they di d not put on the resuislt.ion the width of the hooks needed? I notice in orders we received for belt hooks previously that they always stated the width.

Dear Sirs : -
In looking i$> the matter of , sh ipmsnt s of concentrates- to Bethlehan Iron CO., I find that the shipments made in May, June and July of 1891, the charge was 8 1/2.C. per unit delivered.
JVom March 1892 to February 1893 all shipnents ware charged at •$u, per unit delivered. The assays on all shipments averaged about 65 to 66% iron and. from, 032 to,e38 phosphurouait We are interested to hear' what the market prices of other ores were da r tng this same period.
Yours very truly,

If you do not, succeed in arranging t)ia tetter with Mr, Darling, I coulct, of coir'! go and bob Mr .Coffin again, but h6pa th«t ..trill' not b?, neosrasary.

67$ concentrates :-
V/'he n ne ran the old mill in 1893, the average of all our vrorfc nas 3 99/100 crude tons for 1 ton concentrates. Vlo know that the average will prove to bo loss than 3 99/100 as no nork non- .but to be on the safe side, no still figure on 4 tons crude foi 1 ton concentrates, therefore 4 tons crude at cost of 84.19 oents ton, makes our concentrates cost us $3.39 per ton in stock-house. 1 v; e have been offered 8/ per unit delivered Allentonn, Pa., for 10.000 to 15000 tons briquettes- this would make price 67 X 8 - $5.36 delivorod and loo 68/ per ton freight would net in $4.08 per ton F.O.B. oars, Edison.
Non suppose that ne had had men enough in the mines to hove deliv¬ ered eve to ;V- oxuaitgu? -Pj-Wl for iho 35 hours' the crushing plant was
waiting for ora, and witn exactly' tho osmo quantity (16SS0 tone) going through mill y,-l- tho mines would have then gotten out 18593 tons, and
the costs would have been an follows:
>ro from the nines delivered to orunhor plant 30.61/
11 put through crusher plant 81.49/
11 " « Kill #1 ( some ) 83.10/
" Outside (came) 8.54/
Total cost per crudo ton 73.74
Based on 4 tons crudo would _ 4
make cost 6VJj concentrates 390.96/100
In figuring on different tonnage, the operating labor is independc of tho output- tho intermittent labor, of course, depends to a certain
extent on tho output -
for instance tho loading of tho oro at tho
mines into tho Skips*, if wo load 100 tons instead of 50 tons, tin
would practically be twice
the actual loading- but the cost
per ton repairs would not double , as thoro is a certain amount of wear
if the maohinery runs without
r oro going t'nrough it.
amount of oro would not malce twice tho amount of repairs. As near ae we can figure it, the extra' cost would be about 85Jv- thor. .also on the coal oil- the average friction of tho machinery of the crusher plant is 345 horse-power- that of mill #1- is 348 horog-powor, while tho horse- *
U/Q'Iltt
power, at full load (EDO tons of ore per hour) on oruohor plant is 340-
and that of mill f- 1 in 500- so that wo have to develope 587 horse-power when mill is running empty, and 840 horse-power ffiion running at full capacity- so if no put through say 100 tons of oro instead of DO tons, it would only increaso the cost of the coal and oil about 30$.
With present facilities and tho little changes v;e have underway, w should average at loast 1800 tons in ton hours in each mill- call it 1154 (twice 577) tons for convenience in figuring- results would be as follows;
Wo have picked out all the labor, such as loading oro into the fillips, oi:d doubled it, and to labor and material used on repairs, we have added 36$, and to coal and oil wo have added 30$.

Cost per ton 67$ concentrates:-
When to got the equipment necessary to bring us up the full capa¬ city (4000 tons per clay so hours) and load the ore by machinery, instead of by hand, wo fully believe that wo will be able to reach, and even do bettor than the figures given you in Hay last —
Wo have all the data from which the above results are obtained, and should you desire wo will be glad to go through it with you, or any ex¬ pert you might caro to send here for that purpose. wo have Kept our costs so that wo can toll the costs of operating and repairs on each individual machine, so as to be able to catch any excessive wear, and correct it.
7/e realise, of course, that there is some "long time wear" that has not shown up yet (we have mined and crushed 39333 tons since started this laot time) still as against it, we feel that changes made during the month, and being aado now will a great deal more th^a off set it- for instance we were compelled to renew two of the babbitt bearings on the Giant rolls^ at quite a cost for labor, and material, simply because the bearings did not get enough grease- It is now so fixed that they get more than ample oil, so wo will probably never have to do that again* I could mention quite a numbor of oimilar cases.

Altogether wo fool very moh pluaood with the ro suits- for consider ing the small tonnage per clay, it -prove a to us conclusively that t re trill be able to turn out product at a very considerable profit, and fully roaliso all wo have expected.
Ao to the brioKjLng plant — all experiments have been completed, ana results are satisfactory tc ue~ Wo are not/ malting the necessary chang— os there, and are waiting for some material to complete them, and hope to bo able in a very short time to be malting regular shipments of the briquettes- Vie will lteep same close costs of the work at briolcer plant, and will send them to you, as soon as we have shipped any considerable

Letterbook, LM-212
This letterbook covers the period February-September 1896. Most of the correspondence is by Walter S. Malloiy, vice-president of the company; John F. Randolph, treasurer; and Edwin I. Olmsted, purchasing agent. The letters deal mainly with personnel matters, company financial obligations, sand orders, equipment, and supplies. There is also correspondence about renovations at the Ogden works. Other items pertain to insurance and to the company’s credit rating. The spine is labeled "Letter Book From Feb. 18, 1896 To Sept. 1, 1896 N.Y. Office." The book contains 1031 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 5 percent of the book has been filmed. Most of the handwritten letters are in very faint green ink and may be difficult to read.

Dear Sir:-
I sent you by Express from 11. Y. this moraine, two samples of vegetable Tar. The different parties that I called on advised ma that there is only one grade of American Vegetable Tar, but that it comes in a thick and a thin state, I tried to obtain some of the so called thick kind, but no one seemed to have any.
I explained' to the partios that Mr. Edison had said that there is a grade that is used in connection with Oakum, and that it 13 a better grade than the other, but what I have sent is the only kind that I could find. There is a foreign brand -Russian ) that comes at $12,00 per bblr. of about 50 gallons, but the- American is only about 1/3 the cost of that. Please send your answer to me at M.W. ft Moore P.0, box 2803 N. Y. so that! can attend to the matte, without any further delay.

My dear Mr. Coats,
In my last letter T neglected to advise you as to the pi sent financial condition of our company;* which I beg to state is as follows, up to Feby 1st,, we have fully issued our former cap¬ ital of 20000 shares and we owe Mr. Edison 54 shares for money ad vanced to be issued him out of the stock just authorized.
The 500 shares now offered you and Mr. Edison will come out of the additional stock ( 2500 shares } just authorised- the balance (1946 shares ) will remain in the treasury until needed. On Feby 1st,, our liabilities were about $19900-, all for merchandise,- and Mr. Edison has in bank cash enough to oovar them- and. we will call on him for it as fast as our payments fall due;- sp proceeds of the sale of 500 shares will all be spent to increase capacity as stated in my last letter.
Yours very truly,

Mr Edison has daoided not to start the Bricker Plant until we can spare the men from the work now going on in C Crusher Plant,
Mr Edison expects to be at the Mill Friday and Saturday of this wock, also on the same days of next week.
The reason of the delay on Bricker Plant is as follows Mr Edison allov/s us only so many men and if we start Bricker Plant it will take away the best men we have from the work in , Crusher Plant, this being important, we have decided to push that end "irst and as soon as we get it well in hand will start up

Dear Slrr-
It may he of interest to you and the other hoys to know that the largest of the rooks you shipped the Eleotrioal Exposition Company has not been put with the iron ore exhibit inside the building. The Madison Square Garden people refusing to let it go in on accounts of its weight.
It stands at the Main Entrance and has a sign in large letters over it, something like the following * IRON ORE; ROCK, WEIGHT 160 00 POUNDS THIS SIZEnROCK CRUSHED BY THEl GIANT ROLLS AT EDISON, N.

The rock is so plaoed that every one going in or coming out of the Garden must see it and it is attracting a great deal of at tent if/:: and the universal opinion, is; that we are unable to crush so large a ?<. ... however, last night as I was coming out of the building ; oar three j&g&flf 3t&0t t au»e being perhaps la

Messrs Pilling & on Philadelphia,
We are in receipt of yours 9th enolosing analysis of ooneentrates sent Mr peokltt. The resultri, while disappointing to us, is not surprising ao we knev ;hat the iron was low and phosphorous high the dust apparatus not doing as effeetive worn it did before change was made ,and consequently the concentrates are not as free from dust as before. As already advised you, hr Edison in his work on the gold, problem has obtained some very fine results in separating the dust from the larger particles, thio change we are making at preattit in the Edison Plant. We feel confident that the next run we will get the iron a ereat dola higher and the phosphorous very,moh lower than ever before. We know from all our tests that the concentrate, must be free from dust to get the phosphorous down.

Letterbook, LM-217
This letterbook covers the period August-September 1893. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Walter S. Mallory, vice-president of the company. All but one of Edison’s letters are written in the hand of Mallory. The letters relate to personnel matters, building renovations, equipment, and supplies. Some items pertain to the rebuilding of the narrow gauge railroad at the Ogden works. Also included are specifications, sent to prospective contractors, for the bricking machinery (one example has been filmed). The book contains 706 numbered pages and an index. Less than 5 percent of the book has been filmed.

Mr. W. S. Mallory,
Buena Part:, Ill ,
Dear Si?:-
By the carbon ccpies which you have been receiving you have, no doubt, notioed that I have not boon abld to place order for Corliss Cylinder. The prices made by- the various part¬ ies are all more than we have calculated to pay. The lowest figure we have is from the South Brooklyn Steam Engine Wo -ks ;|2400; the next from Wetherell, $280Q,’ the next from Remington, ';53o0; 3,1(1 after sane dickering Harris agrees to make cylinder from his patterns for $4000. i have written all these parties asking them to bid on cylinder made from their patterns both with and without .jacket, as I would like to get this price down to a** below $2,000. I am afraid we are going to get stuck a little bit on this engine but if we can get cylinder for $2,000 it wil} only be about two o" three hundred dollars oyer what the engine would have coat U3 had we. let Briggs make the cylinder and la satis* i'ied that y/s will have a much better job by doing it the Way we o1*9' lst t&0 Patterns for the various parts to South fcrboklyn Steam Engine Works as they were the Ipwaot bidders and we»$ anxious for the work. I have a bid fron the Dallett Iron Co., of 1 S/lo £ per lb. for the castings fo~ Stock House Spcruts and think 1 shall place order for same either to-day or to-morrow.
1 313 about finishing up the drawings for the three high roll nnd will send out for bids on patterns to-morrow.
The blue prints for the stack are not yet completed and a3 soon ;as'they are I shall send for bids. 1 think I shall place the foldings for the brisker to-day. X think. t to orde" will go to Sizer who bid 4/ per lb. for the shafts and 8/ per lb. for the bolts and nuts f.o.b. cars Orange, B. J, and can ship middle of next week. Thi3 rate to Orange of course is a mistake and can be easily rectified. ’
You can tell Mr. Edison if you want but I should consider- the matter before I told him if 1 were you that Thomas reports that the man Walker who ws sent there i3 i\9 good and doQB not understand bis business, this, of course, remains to be se^n but Coni is not of the same opinion.

Dear Sirs:- j
Replying to yours of the 15th would state that the locomotive mentioned as #34 on your stick list is somewhat haavie than what v/e need for our work . our ideas at present are to not huy locomotives weighing over ten or twelve tons. If ycu have anything that comes within those limits you might advise us fully regaling same. V/e note your canraents on rails and we are in the market for about 200 tons of 50 or dO lb., rails delivered at Edison, N. J.

-r, 0. J. Cord ey,
Dear Sir:-
Yours of the 29th giving ms the numberof feet of 8" anti 10" pipe necessary, is at hand and fully noted. We have already oUr inquiries out on 8" and 10" pipe and no doubt will be able to Place order in a very few days. We skill endeavor to find same in stock .;o shipment can be m ida at once. Regarding the number of feet of rails required to lay the railroad as now designed, would state that we are unable to tell from your letter whither you want 30800 feet or 30800 feet. V/e presume that the latter number is correct. V/e would suggest tliat in so important a matter as dimensions that hereafter the letters be so written that no mistake of this sort could come up.
On 30,000 feet of 50 lb. rails it will be necessary to buy about 200 tons of rails, which at present prices vill amount some whs re in the neighborhood of five or six thousand dollars. Kindly advise me by return mail what is the very smallest quantity that we could get along with at present, of course v/e could put down now the track necessary to operate ns at first and the balance later. In the meantime 1 will v/rite Mr. Edison and find out whether he wishes to purchase the entire quantity at present, but I am quite sure that he does not want to spend the money unless it is absolute ly'-neoessary. We note your comments on castings for dryer and would say that, we are pushing same all that we can. The delay came, as you no doubt are aware oweing to the change being made of bolting the boxes instead of casting them' in one piece.
Yours very truly,
P. 3. Since writing the above have had your telephone message and now await your list of 40 lb. -ails and the least possible quantity you ooul d get along with.

Letterbook, LM-218
This letterbook covers the period September-November 1893. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Walter S. Mallory, vice-president of the company. The letters deal mainly with personnel matters, company financial obligations, building renovations, equipment, and supplies. There are two letters in Edison’s hand describing his strategy for gaining control of the market for iron ore. Other items relate to Edison’s interest in rail freight rates, international marketing, and industrial record keeping. The spine is stamped "Letters" and is labeled "#1 Sept. 29, 1893. To Nov. 15, 1893." The book contains 703 numbered pages and an index. Less than 10 percent of the book has been filmed.

Letterbook, LM-219
Tliis letterbook covers the period November 1893-Januaiy 1894 Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Walter S. Malloiy, vice-president of the company. The letters deal mainly with personnel matters, company financial obligations, equipment, and supplies. Some of the items pertain to insurance tor the Ogden works, the replacement of its chief engineer, and the lease of property in Michigan and the possible erection of a mill there. There are also ietters containing Edison’s views on lamp prices in Europe and on problems at the Edison Phonograph Works. A loose page inserted at the end of the book contains a note in Edison’s hand, dated August 22, 1895, announcing that work is hereby suspended at these Works." The spine is stamped "Letters." The label on the spine and the flyleaf are inscribed "4." The inside front cover contains the mscnption: "Letter book #3 sent to Mr. Malloiy at Ogden bv Express April 23/94 J F Randolph." The book contains 698 numbered pages and an index. Less than 10 percent of the book has been filmed

Mr. John P. Cummings,
n/o Phoenix Iron Works,
Phoenixv.ilie, Pa1
Dear Sir:-
We have your:; of the 18th inst and are glad to note that you were at the mine on Sunday last.
We cannot agree -ith you that the plant Is in such had shape, hut will admit that it is rather dirty and out of order, and wants to he put in shape it is true.
vie believe that a mail who thoroughly understands his business can put it in shape in a reasonable time with sufficient help.
We are not aware' that there is a great deal to he done over, hut are aware that there are some points regarding the Corliss Engine which will have to he changed, on account of mistake of last man in charge.
Regarding the matter of exhaust pipe of Corliss Engine, to which you call our attention, we would state that you did not know that in place of valves we have used blank flanges, in as much as we consider and hope to run compound condensing, when things are in order, And if we find that we cannot run this way we will make the necessary changes, by interchanging the 'blank flanges and rings.
There is nothing unsatisfactory about the place, other than its
53g
«V the men .ho held position, heretofore h,ve left
- - Who he* the Position first ,es there temt a ^ .
“• He 1,14 Mt ”teSt“a “* « ~ -t satisfactory, and
Inasmuch as .e .ere running experiment.!!,, his incompetence did not onus, ue «, trouble, at least as far as „as althon^ „•* ■
" ~ ~ “* 60108 10 °h“88 ~ -W— to the machinery and f ' ■boilers. II]
The second „ho held the position .as satisfactory to us, but *1 his wife being very sic*, and becoming partly insane, hetiought it bestir to move to the City .here she could receive proper medical treatment.
H. .as with us upwards of a year, in fact .e believers time over a year, leaving of his own accord.
The third man who held the position was discharged, for two masons ' first, he was incompetent and did not attend to business; besides' being man we did not think we could trust. Secondly, we were shutting down at that time, preparatory to beginning the re -construct ion, and we con¬ cluded to reduce our expenses to the amount of his salary.
• The f0Urth wh0 held the Position, and who has just been discharged, came to us through advertising, , making great boasts of h;Ls ability and naming his people as references-who were satisfactory to us- but in looking up his references we found that among.the dozen or more people
.tarn he ns»»d ad rsfsroncta, not „re thM1 t.„ w tBree ^ ^ ^ gr«t„ nusfcer hM MTOr to„a or Mu. the tm or twee ^ aw ^ him advised us not to- employ him. „ls appesrsnoe. eto. appeared .11
rlE“' “4 " h“ hltM “» to hearing hls references.
Ho started to put the Corn.. Engine In shap. and convinced us that he was not th, men .e «t«. He put on the *„ ge.r on one « the cylinders Wong end to, put on the throttle the »ro»g .ay, which convinced us that he did not understand the construction of a Corliss Engine ; ml In as much as he had hired with us for a trial of three tenths .. concluded to dispense .1th hls services and try and get a nan to take the place.
, W9 thinlC that thls w111 set the matter .straight in your mind, as we do not care to have you feel that there is any question of partiality or anything of the kind. The fact of the matter is that we want a Chief Engineer to take charge of our power appliances, we want a good sober, steady man, one who thoroughly understand his business and who can operate the plant, both boilers and engines, satisfactorily and economically, We have all the experimenting we need to look for in the machinery in -the mills, and it is of the utmost importance that we^get a man to take charge of the power competent to do so, and' in whom we can place confidence, so that we heed have no thought of this part of |
What we want is
i who is what he pretends to ba, and J
such the position -will b. . good one with «■>* P™.,...t. for ad-
vane ament. ^ o

Letterbook, LM-220
This letterbook covers the period January-May 1894. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Walter S. Mallory, vice-president of the company. The letters deal mainly with company financial obligations, personnel matters, equipment, and supplies. Several items relate to Edison’s health. Another letter describes management techniques at the Ogden works. The spine is stamped "Letters." The book contains 700 numbered pages and an index. Less than 5 percent of the book has been filmed.
