1889. Mining - Foreign (D-89-52)
This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to mining and ore milling in Canada, Chile, Europe, and New Zealand. Some of the items deal with inquiries about Edison’s ore milling and processing machinery. Other documents pertain to ore samples sent to Edison from various sources. Among the correspondents are Osgood S. Wiley, an Edison agent in the United Kingdom who was dismissed in 1889; James Dredge, the coeditor of Engineering ; and S. J. Ritchie, a businessman seeking to utilize Edison’s ore milling process in Canada.
Approximately 60 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following categories of documents have not been filmed: routine
correspondence regarding foreign mining properties and ore samples sent to Edison for assay; correspondence about Alfred O. Tate’s Canadian business dealings with George D. Dickson and W. H. Dean; letters of transmittal; duplicate copies of selected documents.

While in New York I ordered the Superintendent of tho Central Ontario Ry. , to ship to me at O&ange , N. J. , a barrel of Titanium iron *re. I had it shipped in my name so that the parties there would get no clue as to what we are wo rking on.
Y/hen it arrives at Newark please take charge of it , treat it , etc., reporting the results to us. If it isr. necessary for you to have any other ordei* than this to get it , please inform me and I will send whatever order is necessary.

A \ w.c. Peb.etlj. 1889.
T.AiEdis on Esqr.
Orange, N.J.
Dear Edison,
Re Mr. Wiley's account.
Referring to your letter of 811(1 Mr* Wiley's ver¬
bal statement to-day that you had now received a proper statement of his account from himself, I have, in accordance with your re¬ quest, drawn upon you for the amount of my advances to Mr. Wiley as per account already rendered: the draft being forwarded to Messrs Drexell Morgan & Co., of New York, for collection. Mr& Wi¬ ley has just been to me for further advances upon the ground that material which he has bought and which was to be delivered within a few hours c.o.d. , would not bo left unless ho paid for it, and he could not get toe money from Mr. Dredge as he was not at his office, and did not know when he would be there. X explained to Mr. Wiley that you had requested me to make him advances, and more- overyou had, from your letter, not appeared to have appreciated
the motive which prompted me to put myself t> the inconvenience of making him advances in the first instance. Thereupon Mr. Wiley explained id me the exceedingly unpleasant and unsatisfactory re¬ lations that he had with Mr. Dredge and that he had recently been obliged to borrow *15 or so from some comparative strangerin order to meet the payments incidental to the erection of the Ore Milling apparatus. Of course you may think that this is nobusiness of nine, but when I point out to you the reason why itis a matter of concern to noyou nay think differently. Mr. Wilv is here in con¬ nection with sons business of yours in which r have nofaing whatever to do. it is true, but at the same time, everybody will naturally suppose that I have something to do with it, and whether I have or not, you are known to have something to do with it and so, your credit, primarily, and mine, by induction, is equally involved in any question of credit concerning Mr. Wiley's operations here. The recent complications with Mr. Dredge and Mr. Wiley compel me to say that if Mr. Wiley is to proceed here with this Ore Milling business as no doubt he is to do, you should have a satisfactory under¬ standing with Mr. Wiley and Mr. Dredge, and make provision for Mr. Wiley s expenses, so as to save all concerned from discredit .
I objected to make Mr. Wiley any advance in faith of your request that I should not do so, but he put his case so strongly that there seemed to be no alternative on my part but to advance him the small
amount required, (and the smaller the amount the greater the scan¬ dal in this case,)which I have accordingly done.
I sincerely trust that there will bo no complications here, arising out of the Oro Milling buiiness, that may prejudice the Phonograph, which, together with your name, is so conspicuous¬ ly before the public, that anybody could do almost anything, having your authority. The greatest danger of all, in a matter of this kind, with a man of the admited inexperience of Mr. Wiley, is the falling into the hands of undesirable people. I wish not to be un¬ derstood as making any criticism on Mr. Wiley to his prejudice or otherwis-e, nor as to his fitness or unfitness for the work he is doing, my;. only solicitude is for your greater interest, as con¬ cerns the Phonograph and my own interest consequent thereon.
Faithfully Yours,
G.E.Gouraud.

tCy Bear Tate:
I have your favor of the fath. I certainly think you night to write a letter to Mr. Dredge in Mr. Edison's name, approving >f what he has done. I think it in a mistake to go to this expense it the moment in London, but it has been started and under these cir- iumstances the only thing to be done is to pay for it, and the first •hing to do is to assure the man who is attending to the matter that .t will ce paid for.
Yours very trilnly,

Dear Sir!" X.
Mr. Hitohie haa talked ) with us generally about . ^
<K:»- K« J-Z&Z Co-frU^-^
the efforts and experiment* you /'have been making with
- :
regard to the separation of" nickel and copper contained in our ores at Sudbury* aX^C C-<*— c^i «*» ~ £T I suppose
only repeating what he has often said S
to you during the time he has been there, that what we want and most desire is the ability to produce metallic nickel at substantially the same price that it costs to produce copper. There does not seem to be any good reason why this ought not to be done, and there is only one thing necessary and that is, how to do it.
The question of refining works is immediately upon us and it will be impossible for us to defer putting them in process of erection. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that whatever you can do towards perfecting what wo desire, an indicated above, should be done at the earliest moment possible. We want a furnace separation of these metals whioh will give us quick results. The slow processes used in the leaching process are in many respects very ob.ieotion- able. The whole matter between you and us may be put in
T. A. E. 2
two questions; What oan you do? How soon oan you do it? Wo will be glad to hear from you at once.
Yours Truly,

Thomas A. Edison* Esq.,

Dear Sir!-
I have been informed that you are desirous of obtaining a mine of .auriferous iron pyrites and as I have a property of that
kind I will leave a sample of the ore at your laboratory with this
letter. Tho ore according to Messrs. E. Balbach & Son's assay carries .aixlsaa dollars & sixty three cents per .ion of .g0fi2 lbs.
I have from five to seven tons of the ore hero that you may have
if you so desire. This lot of ore I had sent on as a sample and I
am expecting to form a company for smelting it: but I understand that you have a cheaper process, so I should be pleased to hear from you on the subject.
The mine is in Chile, where I have been for The Edison Electric Light Co. for the past five years. The vein is nearly vertical and is explored by two tunnels, one about 100 metres and the other 200 metres long, said tunnels are about 30 metres apart, the vein is from 6, to £ feet thick and with modern machinery can readily turn out one hundred tons of ore daily, 3uch as sample.
The location of the mine is very favorable, being only 1000 metres from the main line of railway in Chile, the climate is
( X. A. E. 2.)
good and common labor very cheap*
Should you. feel interested in the subject I ah&uld bo pleased to give you further particulars*
Very Truly Yours.

Oil and Iron in New Zealand - Tho Now Zealand Government havo recently published a roport upon the potroloum de¬ posits of the Taranaki district, which apparently havo a great future beforo them. The oil come? to the surface in many places noar New Plymouth, besides impregnating the surrounding country to such an extent that farmers havo had to abandon many wells, on account of the petrol¬ eum gushing into them with tho water. To ascertain wheth¬ er there was a probability of those oil deposits proving j a mercantile success, the Government of New Zealand de¬ puted Mr. Gordon, inspecting engineer of tho Minos De¬ partment, to visit the locality. Mr. Gordon made a care— j ful survey of the country, and in hi3 lengthy report ho ! affirms that “petroleum exists over a large area, and that it is only a quostion of boring to the requisite dep depth to get at tho source." Tho deposits have a two-fold advantage - if successfully developed they not only have j at their disposal the Australasian market, now dependent I on America for oil, but they would further provide with ■ j fuel tho • cal local iron industry, at present resting ! upon limited supplies of coal and ohar coal. Along tho

shores of tho Taranaki district otrotoh the famous iron-sand beaohes of Now Zealand, beaches composed en¬ tirely of pulverised iron ;oro. Oountloss millions of tons of this material lie along the western coasts of tho North Island of New Zealand. The oro produces splen¬ did iron, but is somewhat refractory. .This would be a trifle, however, if an abundant supply of cheap fuel were available for smelting purposes. This seems being to be now forthcoming in tho shape of petroleum. For some time past oil has been largely used for smelting in America, and there is no reason why it should not be successfully adopted in New Zealand, tho Taranaki oil having plenty of body and being admirably adapted for fuel purposes. It may be noted that while the oil depos¬ its of America and Russia are several hundred miles in¬ land, those of Now Zealand aro actually on tho coa3t, so close, indeed, that the beach of Now Plymouth is pitted with petroleum oozings. What is now wanted is some trial drills to test the quantity and character of the oil supply, A few drills, in tho vicinity of New Plymouth, ought to bring to the surface, not only enough oil to pro vide tho locality with smelting fuel, but also sufficient for several refineries. It is curious that while millions

are invented by the public of thin country in puroly speculative gold mines, hardly any funds are devoted to sinking wells for petroleum in Burmah, Canada, and Nevr Zealand. In America, hundreds of timos ovor, a sin¬ gle well has proved as remunerative as a gold mine, yet although petroleum can be easily enough turned into gold, such is the demand for it, English investors have hither¬ to ignored petroleum undertakings. Presently they will rusheinto it, just as shippers have rushed into the oil steamer business, building sixty tank vessels in less than five years, after a prolonged period of similar in= difference.— Engineering!*

Dear sir:
You v/ill doubtless remember that I visited your laboratory in the month of July for the purpose of making enquiries respecting your ore separator. You were then kind enough to promise that you would furbish me v/ith an account of the working of the separator at your mines in Pennsylvania. But as X noticed that you soon afterwards went across the sea, I presume that the promised statement has been overlooked.
Mr. S. J. Ritchie called upon me on Saturday last , and informed me that you have since then made a very great improvement in your
method of separating and cleaning iron ores. I shall be very greatly
ftu
obliged if you can furnish me with a description of *£ and its capa¬ city, together with analyses or other particulars showing results where your machinery is in operation. I should like to know in par¬ ticular whether any of the sssutteb separated ores have been smelted, and if so, whether the charge of the furnace has been made up exclu¬ sively of the milled ore, or in what proportion it has been mixed with lump ore. There is an impression that it might choke the furnace if used alone.
Yours very truly.
Thomas Edison, Esq., Orange ,
New Jersey, U.l

1889. Mining - Mines and Ores (D-89-53)
This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to mines and ores to be bought, sold, worked, or tested. Some of the items deal with the mining interests of individuals who either wanted to sell property to Edison or to have their ores tested. There are also numerous inquiries regarding Edison’s ore separation process.
Approximately 50 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following categories of documents have not been filmed: routine requests for Edison to test ore samples; routine offers of mining properties and ores for sale to Edison; correspondence and reports by Samuel G. Bum regarding his ore survey work for Edison in Virginia and North Carolina; bills and receipts; duplicate copies of selected documents.
Related documents can be found in D-89-01 (Battery) and D-89-70 (West Orange Laboratory - Suppliers).

Mr. Dickson, February 21, 188;9.
Mr. James MacNaughton has sent some ore here, which I understand contains Titanium. Mr. MacNauehton tells me that the Titanium occurs in crystals, and that. there is no chemi¬ cal combination between this element and the iron. We would like to have some of this ore run through the separator as soon as possible— to-day if practicable. Perhaps Mr. Edison would like
to examine the concentrates before Mr, MaoNaughton is oonmuni- oated with.

Dear Sirs-
Vr> received this morn in;-; the samples of the slag you so kindly sunt us and are much disappointed at the results as no practical benefit appears to be derived from the seperation.
We could not expect very much from the Mil] Scale, Mill Cinder and converter Spittings as they are al ready fair shape to go to the Blast Furnace but we did hope that the Ladle and Cupola Slags would be susceptible to treatment as at present the Iron they contain is a total loss for these slags go direct to the dump.
We presume the presence of Mn. may effect the seperation or possi¬ bly the samples cent were particularly clean ones.
If you made any analysis of the original samples we would be pleas- -ed to receive them as we could tell from those whether or not the samples were average ones.
Thanking you for sending us the results and regretting that they were not more satisfactory -we remain.
Yours Very Truly.
Friend Edison:
Referring to your message
through Mr. In Bull, regarding the Montana gold mine, I desire to say that Oov.Hauser will be glad to forward to you a sample of the average ore; but as the mine is 100 miles from any railroad, the expressage will be very heavy, and therefore lie asks with how anal! a quantity you could get along. Would 100 pounds be sufficient for your purpose? Do you wish the ore pulver¬ ized or in its original state, a a it comes You can have it either way. Yours truly,
from the mine.

Dear Sir;.
I am interested with others in a vein of material which has assayed as follows;-
SllloB* 35,33*
Ferric Oxide., 88,66*
Phos acid.
Alluminum.
17,621 7,84 %
99,45*
Several of the samples have assayed as high as 20* phos acid, and is therefore valuable as a fertilizer,!! the ferric oxide or oxide of iron can be eleminated from the phosphorio acid.
This rock has baffled several chemists to treat it with aoids and one of them suggested calcination process in order to render the phos acid more soluable and to rid it of the excess of ferric oxide. Some of the samples assayed about 20* ferric oxide, which the chemists say is too str.ong in iron and injurious to vegetation.

vestogation of the oolitic ores and find that the so-called lime stone ore of Southern Ohio has thi‘d peculiarity; that in one part of a hill they get ore such as we inspected when at the factory which is oolitic in character and in other places in the same hill it changes into that of the irons such as we had there. That is, the same vein changes from the oolitic to the other ores. I have not been able to find any other beds in Southern Ohio. Have also made considerable inquiry in Tennessee and have got quite a number of specimens from that Southern iron region and find nothing that is oolitic but a number of tlB specimens seem to have so oxidized as to have the pink color and some a beautiful yellow. Do you
care to have the satrplos? Can forward them if desired.

Dear Sir:
We have carefully considered the Mexican patent question as stated in yourlotter of December Slst.1888 and the let¬ ters enclosed therewith. You speak of our writing to Mr. Mendtz, but we do not see what there is for us to write him at present. It appears from his letter that two patents have been granted in Mexi¬ co, both of which are withheld until a payment of $150 is made in each case. These patents we assume bear the date of the decroe .Sep¬ tember 29th, 1888. You seem to have received a copy of only one decree but MendfczS 1 otter refers to two, so there was probably one issueoL- for each patent. No doubt one patent covers Set 84 and the other Set 85, since it appears from Gouraud's letter and from the list of patents which he has sent us that he only forwarded these two sets to Maxi oo.
With regard to Case 84 both United States patents covered by this set have been issued;and were issued before Septem¬ ber 29th, 1888, the date of the Mexican patent, so that this patent can be proceeded with without affecting any patents here. As to Set 85> two United States Patents have boon issued, both before tbe
A.O.J.2.
Mexican patent and these patents are therefore not affected by the Mexican patent,- but there are still four applications pending in the United States Patent Office which are covered.by this .set and if the Mexican patents for ten years under this set is proceeded with the patents which may be issued on these applications will be limited to the itierm.of the Mexican patent. The applications relate to methods of making phonogram blanks. Two of them are those whioh were in interference with 'fa inter on which priority of invention was decided against Mr. Edison and they arc therefore of no value. Another relates to a method of making cylindrical blanks by forming such blanks with an opening on one side and subsequently closing such opening by filling it with melted wax. The fourth relates to mak¬ ing phonogram blanks by first molding the cylindBU and then cutting Ithem internally and externally to make true surfaces . This applica¬ tion has been rather badly rejected in the Patent Office on the ground Ofalack of invention and we do not know that it is of much consequence. We think you should ask Mr. Edison whether he considers it will be any great loss if die patents, whioh may sometime be is¬ sued on these two applications, should be limited to ten years, and if he thinks they are of small consequence there is no reason why the Mexican patent in Case 85 should not go on also.
It appears that in these matters the Mexioan Government has dispensed with the requirement of certified copies of prior patents in other countries so there will be nothing te do
A.O. 5.3*
apparently in order to hare the patents issued exoept to sendjto. Mendtz the required amount of $150 for each patent.
We think there should also be a third Mexican patent taken which will include all the United States Patents that have been issued up to the present time with the exception of t hose included in Sets 84 and 85. We have the certified copies of the United States patents necessary to do this and can forward them to Mendtz if you wish us to do so, but before doing this the matter of cases 84 and 85 should be settled and you ought at once to get Mr. Edison's views on the matter as stated above and instruct Men¬ dtz accordingly.
We return the letters of Col.Gouraud and Mr. Menddz
herewith.
Yours truly,
A. 0. Tate Esq, Orange,
N. J.
Dear Sir:
I arranged with Mr. Edison on Saturday to give some testimony at the laboratory on Wednesday , the 2»rd inst.,but I find that the other parties will not be able to go on until Thursday. Will you please ask Mr.Edisonvon Tuesday morning whether Thursday will suit him and telephone me immediately what he says, and twill be glad if you will also s:ee that he bears it in mind and ^ /eady to testify on Thursday.
Have you the address of Mr. Mendez at the Oity o| Mex- iso? It seems to me hardly safe to send him a draft without Ms special address for theremay be others of the same nane ^Mexico.
If you have the address please telephone me this also. P
Yours truly.

Jany. 22nd. 1889.
Dear Edison, .
This letter will contain brief reference to two items of news, one bad and the other good. The first is that we have lost our action against the Gower Bell Company and have consequently to pay the costs whioh amount to ./, half of which I have paid
and the other half of which Messrs Mackerell will draw upon you at 30 days. It remains for us to determine whether we shall accept this defeat. The deoision is considered by our Counsel as being most arbitrary, unreasonable and unfair, as both sides of the case were really not heard and further pursuit of the matter will in¬ volve a new trial, as to appeal upon the case as it is, would be to appeal upon an incomplete case. I am very much d®6gaetiadwith the result and have not yet made up my mind whether I would like to pursue the matter further or not. If I had nothing else to do,
I should, but these litigations make suoh a terrible draft upon • one's time, mental and physical powers that I am loth to deprive'^my pursuit of the more important business of th<$ Phonograph as must necessarily result. I shall be glad to have your feelings upon this question and if you prefer to pursue it I will do so, ooute qui coute, otherwise I- aljall let the matter Btand over as- we are not compelled to decide ohe way or the other for several months~to come, and perhaps, we can do so then with more deliberation than we .can at the present moment. So much for the bad news. It is the first time in my life I have ever been beaten in an action and I don’t consider I have been beaten by reason of the faot that the case was not heard on both sides.
Now for the good news which more than compensates for the bad. The London Stereoscopic Company tried to bully me into recognising that they had some rights under their original license.. I completely knocked them out with the result that they had entirely abandoned their absurd position as was evidenced in the most conclu¬ sive manner recently reported to you, of their having interposed objections to the issue of our new Phonograph Patent Case 84. They probably thought this would so frighten me that I would at once seek to compromise with them, but after the first shuffle of the cards they had to lead, and their lead vfas to apply to me for an exten¬ sion of the time allowed by the law under which they were compelled to file particulars of their objection. Instead of refusing an ex¬ tension of time, which was practically asking me to give them more time to do me an injury, I cheerfully consented to give them all the time they wanted and stated as my reason for doing so, that if they opposed the issue of the Patent they would have to develop all the weak points there were in our specification, and I would rather have all the weak points taken out before the Patent was issued than have the Patent with them — the effect of this slap in the face was so successful that when the time of the extension that was so cheerfully accorded them, expired, instead of filing their objections they withdrew their opposition stating that "the reason for their coming to this decision is that they are advised by experts that your claims do not comprise anything material to the manufacture of Phonographs*. This may be taken as finishing the

the Stereoscopic episode. The last thing I heard before the de¬ cision arrived at, was from Kennard, the surviving partner of Nottage, the original licensees, an elderly and very rich man who, sent me word that he would spend every farthing of his fortune, and if he died before he had done that, leave his executors instruc¬ tions to proceed until the issue of our Patents were prevented. I have not heard how he is since he got my last message which produced his withdrawal of the opposition.

tbt varied terms up to fifteen years with the privilege of extension to fifteen years. Under th e new oonstru ction of the JBaw here thero is no reason why Gouraud should not take patents in these coun¬ tries , paying the fees for the short terms only, provided there is n6 doubt that they would be ma intained’fey the payment of the sub¬ sequent fees,- sp we think you can tell ColfGourfcud that in the countries mentioned he need not now .pay the fees for the whole term or wait until the United States patents ara issued, end that he may accept the refundment of fourteen yeefe feeb on the Austrian patents in cases 86 add 87, which he says the Austrian government will make. We have ourselves at various times fully explained to Col. Gouraud the reason why he has been obliged to pay the whole IS years in these countries and we supposed that ha under that.

The Board of Examiners in Chief insist on our arguing the three phonograph cases which have been appealed to them., on the 7th. You will recollect that Mr. Seely spoke to you about having a complete phonograph and a capable man to work it, sent to Washington for use at the argument. I hope that you will be able to do this, since I attach a great deal of importance to it;, in the argument of the ease. As I have frequently told you,my theory of these matters is to interest the tribunal. One or two good musical cylinders and a couple of cylinders which can be turned off and talked on to, would be about the right thing.

EdwardH. Johnson, Esq.
President Edison Electric Light Co.
16 and 18 Rroad Street,
My Dear Mr. Johnson:
City.
A matter has arisen within the last two days which contains the possibility of danger to the interests of the Light Company and hence I desire to call it to your attention, and to place myself and Mr. Griffin, who is associated with me in the matter, upon record. You will recollect that the Consolidated Electric Light Company after that company hai. passed into the con¬ trol of the ffestinghouse Company, brought a suit in Pittsburgh against the Mc.Keesport Company upon the fibrous carbon patent of Sawyer k Man. Unlike the Mew York suit no mention was made of tho interference proceedings in the bill of complaint and when the complainant took its testimony it made out a simple prima facie case, that is,- put in one of our lamps and put an export on the stand who swore that tho lamp was an infringement of the patent.
On the cross-examination of the export Mr. Tomlinson made him admit that the publication in the Herald of December 31st, 1878 was a full anticipation of the invention and was earlier in date than the application for the patent.
[ENCLOSURE]
2
Mr. Tomlinson had one or more conversations with Mr. Thurston, who was retained in the matter, as to what his course should 'be.
I find that Mr. Thurston's advice was also conveyed in a letter to Mr. Tomlinson dated May 28th, 1888 of which I enclose a copy. The advise was to put in no testimony except the proof of the Horald article and to rest there. Mr. Tomlinson I find did this, and in addition took the deposition of Prof. George P. Barker to the effect that the Harald article was a full description of the in¬ vention. The complainant then went on taking, what its counsel termed, testimony in reply, and on Monday last, after making out what we consider a very incomplete case, the counsel for the com¬ plainant notified us that they had closed their testimony in reply and then gave us notice that they would on Saturday next move the Court to fix a day for final hearing, thereby indicating to us that they would dispute our right to take any more testimony at all.
We were then confronted with the condition of affairs that had been made for us by Mr. Tomlinson upon- the advice of Mr..- Thurston. Mr. Tomlinson had charge particularly of these fibrous carbon cases, and while he was taking the testimony and formulating the course of action in the Pittsburgh case I was at work upon the Trenton cases. I do not mean to say that had I been more intimately con¬ nected with the case at the time the course was formulated it would have occurred to me to dispute Mr. Thurston's advice since he is as
[ENCLOSURE]
8
eminent as anybody in the profession, but I refer to the fact that
I had nothing to do actively with the case simply to show that
I am in no way responsible for the policy pursued. I have for
some days thought the position now taken by complainants counsel
would be probably taken by them, and it has been a matter of very
serious consideration by myself, and after Mr. Griffin came into
the case, a matter of almost daily consultation between him, Mr.
Rogers and myself. Mr. Seward whom we have consulted thinks that
the course pursued under Mr. Thurston's advice was an unusual one one
and^fraught with danger to the defendant. Mr. Griffin has gone to Providence to see Mr. Thurston, and ^Saturday we intend to ask the Court to set the matter over for a week so that wo can prepare our own motion and make a full presentation of tho case. There are several details of a technical character of which we can take ad¬ vantage, and we feel that the Court injnatter of this importance would hardly shut out any material part of our case. It is a matter however entirely within the discretion of the Court and the Court can do anyone of several things:
1. Prevent us entirely from taking any more testimony;
2. Make us confine any further testimony to particular lines;
3. Let us take any testimony we want, but make us do it in a very short time; and
[ENCLOSURE]
4
4. Permit us to take any testimony we want and give us ample time to do it in.
The first and second positions would be very in¬ jurious to us; the third would be inconvenient but would not hurt our case materially, whilo the fourth would be everything we would want.
Mr. Edison has in the past asked me to keep him in¬ formed of any turn in affairs which might bring the fibrous carbon caso to an early decision so that he could pursue experi¬ ments with a view of avoiding the patent. I saw him last night and explained the situation to him Mlly.
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr Edison;
Some days ago a lawyer friend of mine, knowing that I was interested in the New York State Phonograph Company, cal— led my attention to a rather curious feature in one of the Tairjter patents which he had incidentally run across while engaged in a pat¬ ent examination. My curiosity being aroused I sent for copies of alL the Tainter and Bell phonographic patents^ and made a somewhat care¬ ful examination of the same with the effect that I have made an ex- tremely important legal discovery affecting your patent protection to the phonograph and the same should be thoroughly explained to you without delay. It will give me pleasure to call at your labor¬ atory any afternoon this week that you may appoint and explain the

Referring to your letter of February 85th and to Col. Qou taud's letter of Feb.

The details however differ in the different countries
leot. me details however differ in the different countries andwe think it waild be best and safest for Col. Qouraudas he suggests to get d efinite information from his agent in each country of what is required there, then if it is necessary for ^Mr„ fidisen to do any thing Ool.|<aoumua can notify him. We do not think that Col.Gouraud should rely upon Mr.Edisoi to attend to these rattens without any further action on his part as he says because th e t imes at which to working must be done would have to be noted and toe working for each country taken care of in time, and it would be much easier for Oouraudto ke® the run of these things aid to notify you, than for you to attorn? t to do it here.

Dear Sir-
“ The working of foreign patents".
As you are doubtless aware some of the countries require by their laws, that the patented apparatus shall within certain times, be., manufactured in the country. Kindly inform me whether you are sufficiently inarmed as to what manufacturing is to be done so that we' do not lose any patents by our default in this respect. If you are in possession of the necessary information, X presume without further action" on my part, I can rely upon you to put me in possession of the necessary facilities^e^hfaa other than money for accomplishing this object. If you are^in possession of the necessary information kindl^.-so inform me and I will get it from the Agents in the various countries.
I have just received notice from Austria that we must com mence to manufacture on case 84 in April next.

Referring to your foreign ore milling patent* .Set 89, the Patent Office of Norway has required the application to be divided, into three divisions, one division to cover: the first three
elaime of the present application, that is to say— to tontain the construction of the liopper , the use of an air current on the fall¬ ing material , the use of a- bar magnet, the method of separating tyr depositing a particle of iron' on the gold particle and then us¬ ing the magnetic separator, and the method of treating hematite ores by heating the same to make them magnetio after pulverizing, and then separating by magnetic attraction.
The second application is to contain the method of treating sulphurets by nitric acid and nitrate of mercury, and the use of a centrifugal drier for saving the acid.
1 , The third application is to be on the mechanical
method of separating the crystals in oolithio iron ores.
The Norwegian Patent Office gives us only until March 19th, to act in this matter so we shall be glad of your in-
T. A. E. 2.
structions Immediately as to whether you wish to limit yourself to the subject of your first three claims as above stated or to file separate applications for both the other matters, or for one of them. We shall have to cable instructions to Paris in this mat¬ ter so kindly reply at once. ,
The Patent Office of Germany has made the same re¬ quirement of division. Please instruct us also as to what is to be done with the German application. We have until April 5th in the German case so there is not so much haste about this.

My Dear Mr, Dyer:
I arrived from Philadelphia this morning and have y°Ur t0^rgrara* Dr* Barker'B cross examination was begun yesterday raorning^nine o'clock and continued until eleven o'clock last night. On account of Dr; Barker's engagements at the college we were not able to proceed with his cross examination to day and it is kept open until his testimony in the fibrouB carbon case is out of the way.
I hardly know what to say about having Prof. Brack¬ ett testify. I think your experience with him in the fibrous carbon case ought to determine the matter. Unless he is a very excellent witness he cannot in my judgment strengthen the case.
I have seen Mr. Griffin and he will write you about the fibrous carbon case.

There is a case on the calendar in this District which will shortly come before Judge Wallace which will raise the ques¬ tion as to how far the term of an American patent is effected by such a decision as has just been made in the Edison case in Canada. Mr. Seward wrote Mr. Johnson advising him of it, and Mr. Johnson has also turned that letter over to Mr. Lowrey. Mr. Seely was at Mr. Johnson* 8 office when the latter received this letter from Mr. Seward and Mr. Johnson then announced that he should send it at once to Mr. Lowrey for his consideration.

We think that if this plan is adopted the best way will be for us to send Col.

In doing this however the question would arise whether all of these things should be included in foreign patents, and whether Mr. Edison or Col, Gouraud shall decide which are to be patented abroad, and which are unnecessary to patent. You had better see what Mr. Edison thinks about this and if he wishes the decision to remain in his hands let us know and we will bring to the laborer tory a set of tracings in the applications in question so that he can select those to be sent abroad.

Friend Edison:- t ///' £
I have the full record of the Patent Office in con¬ nection with the interference between yourself and Nicholson in the matter of the Quadruple*. I think it will clearly show to an Ar¬ bitration Committee, that you, and not Nicholson, are the inventor, of that system of transmission, and T have arranged to settle the question, as between the Western Union Company and the Postal, by arbitration, instead of .in the Courts.
Notwithstanding the record appears to me clearly in your favor, I would like to have a few minutes talk with you on the subject. I would also like very much to see your Laboratory. I therefore propose to go to Llewellyn Park to call 0n you about the middle of the afternoon next Saturday, June first. Will you please say by return mail whether or not this will be agreeable to you, and oblige.
Yours very truly.
BEEN SETTLED TODAY, THAT THE 'BRUSH COMPANY ARE NOT GOING TO WE HOUSE OF LORDS WITH REFERENCE TO .YOUR LAMP PATENT. I THINK WE MAY NOV/ FAI R- -LY «3 Vf THAT WE HAVE ENOED THE LITIGATION ON THIS PATENT AND ALSO ON THE CHEESBROUGH LAMP PATENT. IT DOES MOT SEEM TO ME PROBABLE THAT AFTER THE VAST EXPENDITURE OF TIME(AND MONEY( AND THE VERY LARGE NUMBER OF JUDGES V/HO HAVE DECI DED IN OUR FAVOUR ,THAT ANY ONE WILL HAVE THE RECK- -LE8S FOOLHARDINESS TO CONTEST THIS PATENT AGAIN IN ENGLAND. I CANNOT HELP THINKING THAT THE TIME, MONEY, ENERGY ANO ABILITY WHICH HAVE BEEN EXERTEO TO BRING ABOUT THIS SATISFACTORY RESULT WILL HAVE A GOOD MORAL EFFECT UPON YOUR PAT ENT S^ BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES^ AND ON THE CCN TIN ENT OF EUROPE. OF COURSE GERMANY IS AN EXCEPTI 0n|| NASIsiUCH AS YOUR GERMAN PATENT HAS NOT GOT THE SECOND CLAIM OF THE HNGLI Sfl PATENT ON WHICH CLAIM WE HAVE MADE GOOD OUR VICTORY. I FEEL PERFECTLY CL EAR THAT THE
LIME OF' tSl'R RICHARO WEe8TEU’'8 ARGUMENT IS AS SOUND AS THE ABILITY THE LAWS
WH I CH' HE SHOWED’ IN APPLY I NG I T. OF COURSE^ IN THE UN I TED STATES DI FFER FROM ' 0UR8' ANO IN 80 FAR AS THEY DIFFER OUR CASE WILL NOT BEAR ON YOURS ; NEVERTHELESS CANNOT HELP . BELIEVING THAT THE MANNER IN WHICH ALL OUR

My Dear Mr. Edisonl-
Since seeing you Sunday it has occurred to me that if you propose to make your records by filing caveats in the Patent Office a canplete scheme for keeping the records should be formed and followed out. To do this in such a way that the caveats could be promptly filed so as to getAin the Patent Office within four or five days of the time we prepare them is what is needed.
If you cculd make your sketches on the mimeograph the matter would be made quite easy. You would need three or four mimeograph file plates accurately fitted so as to form a bed large enough for your purpose. Then make sketches within a space on each mimeograph sheet equal to the clear space on a legal sap sheet of type writer pjper. You could then have a number of copies carefully struck off, Bay si* on type writer legal sap of good quality. You could send us four copies and the written description. We would simply add the formal opening and closing clauses to the description and have it type- wri tten .making four c<pies, one original and three carbons. One set of drawings and specifications would go to the Patent Offise;one set of both would go in our flies; one set of both (best carbon copy
of description) we would preserve and when there was enough matter collected we would have it bound. These sets for permanent bind¬ ing would have copies of petitions and oaths attached and would show all dates and signatures; volumes when bound to be sent to you} the fourth copy of both drawings and description to be en¬ dorsed with dateB of execution and filing and sent to you to be put in temporary binder for your use while waiting for permanent^ bound copy} the two- or more extra copies of drawing to be carefully preserved under lock and key where they could be found in future years or to be destroyed if in any danger of being circulated} the original copy of description to be kept in our files or returned to you. As to the caveats of the new set already Bent infwe could get blue prints of drawing and have cooies made of specifications for permanent binding and other copies for your temporary binder. Instead of keeping a temporary binder you could have prints of the drawingtmade on thin sheets and pasted in a book, or you could have a book specially bound so that it would open flat and print the copies directly into thsljbook. As you see it could be very nicely arranged provided you caild use the mimeograph.I suggest that you at least give it a trial. I find out that Rowland went out to the laboratory and made the drawings you wanted the day after you wrote Mr. Seely ,scme three weeks ago, but you were not there.He was at your laboratory yesterday and will be there again tomorrow morn- ing.

Your letter of the 12th inst. together withnCol. Gouraud' a letter of the 31st ult. and the papers sent by Col. Gour- aud with his letter, were handed to me yesterday by Mr. Schulse- Berge. I went through the criticisms of Sir Frederick Branwell very carefully and have written a letter to Col. Gouraud which will be mailed to-day returning the papers with our answer to the criti¬ cisms. It was a_v;ery simple matter which should have been attended to in Bngland without the risk of delaying the case by writing here#but the course taken by Col. Gouraud is the right onetsince it would enable us to BStthan right on ary important raatter.Whai such a one arises.

In reply to your letter of the 21st inst.we have to say that under the Portugese patent 1 m . .patents are considered as being granted foiHlffull term of fifteen years although the taxes may be paid for only five years when the patent is is sued Jan d uncfer the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Bate case the United States patent runs until the actual expiration of • the monopoly in the foreign country. So long as the Portugese pat¬ ent is maintained therefore there is no dargsr to the United States patent and In Portugal the fee for the full term can be paid at any time when it is desired to do so. For this reason we concMdsd to take out only a five years patent in Portugal in order to save the expense of paying all the taxes now.
We will say that in our .next bill against Mr. Ed¬ ison we shall credit him with the difference in the cost between a five year and a fifteen year Portugese patent. In our bill for these foreign patents we charged for a fifteen year patent, but af¬ terward in view of the Bate decision and of a decree of Portugese
A.O.T.2.'
government we decided that it was only necessary to pay the taxes for five years.

Dear Sir:-
In reply to your letter of June 30th, in which you ask us what reply you shall make to Col. Gouraud's telegram asking whether he can complete Cases 84 & 85 for Denmark, we have to say that we have consulted Mr. Edison about this and idjview of the fact that the applications still pending in the United States Patent Of¬ fice which are included in Case 85 are of comparatively little importance and that patents have been issued here on everything in¬ cluded in Case 84, Mr. Edison thinks the Denmark patents can be ta¬ ken out, so you had better inform Col.Gouraud that he can complete the cases referred to.

Limited. Mr. Hand¬ ford says that that company instructed him to assign these patents to you so that you might be able to assign them with certain others to the oanpany all at ;one time. Probably the conpany or Drexel.Mojv gan & Co. will communicate with you about this. The assignment { which we Bend you also includes two patents on electric rail my s, Nos. 1022 of 1888 and 2857 of 1883. These are the patents about which there was some discussion with Messrs. Drexel .Morgan & Co. which ended in our instructing Mr. Handford to assign the patents to you , Drexel .Morgan & Co. agreeing to this on the condition that you should give them a letter stating that you held the title 'to.
the patents in trust for yourself, themselves and Mr. 0, P. Lowrey . We will inform Messrs* Drexel .Morgan Ss Co. that the assignment has been made, and thayjwil 1 probably let us know what else they want to do about it. The assignment also includes two patents, Mos. 7682 & 7584 of 1885 relating to the phonoplex telegraph, which of course belong to you.

We enclose the tracing of your application No. 716 for multipolar machine . The Kxaminer has made^obj action to this case that the arrangement shown in the drawing is inoperative for the reason 'that though the device woujd generate a current in the position shown in Figure 1, when the device has rotated 90° the current becomes nil, while at 160° degrees it becomes reversed. This is clear from the consideration that at 180° the coils -are' still ■' in the same polarity as;: in the figure, while the brashes ■connect'1 to the neutral points 90° removed and hence of reverse polarity.*
We would be glad if you would have seme one study this out and see whether it is correct.

Dear Sin-
Referring to the correspondence sent with your letter of the 21st inst. which we return herewith.it appears that Ool. Gouraud wants the following information :
1. Whether Edison' s U. S. patent contains a' broader claim on cutting as distinguished frcm scraping, as izi his^case 86.
We think the 1st claim- of patent Mo. 393, 967, dated December 4,1888
covers the matter broadlyrin the following language: "The method of recording sounds for reproduction consisting in impressing sound
vibrations upon a cutting recording point and thereby cutting in the recording surface 4^/record corresponding to the sound wavos( in contra distinction to the fonnation of such sound records by a
scraping action."
Patent No. 393, 968 contains the following claim; "A phonograph recorder having for its reewnding point a cutting tod witl^th^putting edge in advance of the stock of the tool, substantial¬ ly as set forth."
2. Whether any publication was cited by the Pateifc Office as a reference to these claims. As to this we have to say
A.O.T.2.
that no anticipation was over brought up by the Patent Office, the claims having been allowed without ary objection of that kind.
3. As to the references cited against the Oraph- ophone application in the Patent Office , we., sippose what is wanted is with relation to the patent of Bell ft Ta inter, No. 341, 214, dated May 4,1886 which obtains the broad claims for cutting the record. We find by an examination of the record of this case, in the Patent OfficOjthat the only matters cited against it were English patent No. 1,644 of 1878 and the description contained in Volume 27 of "Engineering", page 327, relating to the "six-penny phonograph" . Ihe publication in "La Nature* of the Lambrigot experiment was not referred to and we do not believe the Patent Office was acquainted with that publication at the time the Graphophone application was before it. The limitation contained in the last clause of the 1st claim of the Graphophone patent, No. 341 ,214^8 evidently male in view of the United States Patent to Reynolds, No. 287,106 dated October 23, 1883.
We think this answers what Mr.Hardingham requires. We send $ou herewith copies of all the U.S. patents referred to here¬ in and we think it would be well for you to send these copies to Col.Gouraud in answering his letter.
Yours very truly.

Dear Edison:-
re Lambrigot’s anticipations.
I enclose copies of letters from Mr Hardingham my Patent Agent, regarding the Graphophone claim for cutting.
I am told that Conrad Cook’s report on the Graph¬ ophone Patents, extracts from which were published in the Graphophone Syndicate prospectus I sent you, c ont aine d._re f e renc.es. .tb_thiS--Caae.--.ai. Ljpnbrlgnt’s. as published in the "Engineer1 of about the same date, but although he tried to smooth it over as unimportant yet it was considered of sufficient importance for the promoters of the Grapho¬ phone syndicate to leave it out of their "prospectus.
Wanted from America.
Mr Hardingham says that it is important to know whether ^there.nisoinoyoiirV'Uriift^d States Patent the same claim as con-- t aine din your English Case 86, viz:- No 2 "The employment of a cutting style havingiia 'trua-cbut't'irig 'action1? If there is, he asks "was there any reference to publication in this connection brought forward by the United Stat.es ‘Patent Office as alleged anticipation, and if so what?" He also says that it would be important to know what refer¬ ences, if any, were made in connection with the issue of the American Graphophone Patents. He thinks that it may probably be found that the Patent Office did make -reference to the Lambrigot experiment. If so, that fact would have great weight herein showing that they made a claim in their British Patent in the face of knowledge of the prior publication in question. You have in your own possession information regarding any references to your own patents, perhaps you can get the

Dear Sir, x
In compliance with your instruction’s, I have examined the specification to Johnson’s Patent, No 6027, A. D» 1886, aind considered the question Whether , by virtue of that Patent, the proprietors thereof have acquired an exclusive right to cut “in a sol- «id body the record corresponding in form to the sound waves*; regard being had to the description of “Lambrigot’ s Speaking Plates", publish ~ed in “La Nature* the 3rd of May 1879. No 309.
Lambrigot'-ref erring to Edison’s original phonograph-describes the substitution for the reeordifig''poihl of%
■a jpall blade of steel in the £TKfilfe*' tBV surf acT operated
in consisting of “a layer of steaxiis^-Tlie4 ste6l''bla’de'va,fiuaed to is employed, first, to scrape down the stearine and impart t* it a perfectly smooth surface, and secondly, under the influence of the sound vibration’s, to striate the stearine surface and produce therein an exact record of the vibratory movements to which the blade is sub- ■ -jeoted.

-2-
Assummg No 309 of “La Nature" to have been published in this country • before 1986, it would seem clear that “the method of forming a record" by “cutting in a solid body" was net capable of being validly patented at the date named in .the broad sence defined by Johnson’s first . claim*
From his specification, it would 'dppear that" the working extremity of the recording, style is so formed as to cut and actually remove the material from t|e[xeco^vgrpove and hot merely to displace it. The first claiming cj^seVdeesinot ,hdwete? liniit the method of forming the record to this ki-n^f^r^^^iclkdes broadly such a method of cutting the r^jord ns would. .be affected by the employment of a recording style in' the1 form’ of a knife blade as proposed by Lambrigot. Johnson’s |juLappeaw~tt-have been to pro- -duce a continuous record groove with
guide to the reproducing style; but i^^m^behob'viods -thdtt'th'is'fs precisely the result which Lambrigot secured’ by,,tiife :emt»lbynlent Of his knife-blade recording style. ' ... ••• t •••• -

X herewith semi you i letter which I treat vd .11 oet your present re- i -quirements.
In order, however, that its contorts ray not min'le ad you, I should perhaps oxplnir ore point whi eh i r ret ali- -uboi to, and whi oh would ' indeed be beyond the scope or your inquiry. What I have dcr.e is to deal with Joluison'c, ’irst claim a.-. X j'inii it. j and not as it might- he if fame hue.: is. .certain manner. ..The claim as it ! stands appears to me to cover in a • voa-t cftcs the cutti rsp of a record groove whether the ountents of the groove be actually removed (an would j result from -the use of a turning tool) or whether the sides of the j
groove be simply parted (as would .result Itti'Q use of what, 'in wood
turning, is known a "parting tool1'. Prom 'Johnson ' s spoci i'i. cation, X am disposed to think the intention was to’ claim oplythe formation of a groove of the former character; but I consider the claim is’ wider than this,’ and suffices to cover the latter method of 'cutting. In this • respect, the claim in anticipated tty the publication in "La Nature".
You will.. perceive that the above point' in [p'f considerable import- -ance, because Edison uses, what I may call “a material-removing tool, as distinguished from a "displacing" or "parting" tool.
(See No- 12, 591i’p page 9 lines 8,8-EO).
You will find on reference that the second claim to your’ patent No IK, { 598 was modified to read- as foliows:-
11 The' method of and apparatus for recording sound waves substanti- _ -ally as heroin described, the cutting edge of the recording style being in advance of the stock of ' the tool and having a true cutti:-, t

Sometime ago I spoke to you about an application of Mr, Edison on the new toy phonograph which had been allowed, and you desired me to write the Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Co. with reference to taking out foreign patents on it before the issue of the United States Patent. lohave never had any reply to this letter and I suggest that if no foreign patents are to be ta¬ ken, Mr. Edison ought to have the United States patent issued.

This folder contains correspondence about the technical and commercial development of the phonograph. Some of the letters are by Edison’s attorney, Sherburne B. Eaton, and relate to Edison’s suit against Ezra T. Gilliland and John C. Tomlinson. Also included are letters about musical recording sessions at the West Orange laboratory, correspondence regarding phonograph exhibitions, and requests for information about phonographs and cylinder recordings. Individual letters pertaining to more than one phonograph company are also filed in this folder.
Approximately 80 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following categories of documents have not been filmed: unsolicited correspondence about the Gilliland-Tomlinson affair; routine requests for information about the phonograph; letters of transmittal and other routine business correspondence; duplicate copies of selected documents.

Dear Tate:
I send by express today two receiving diaphragms which arc in bad shape. We have been unable to prevent them from scratching, and I thought X would send them to you and have them either fixed up or have you send us new ones. I would be much indebted if you would return these at the earliest possible moment, because we are badly in need of them. I asked Wangeman to get up a box of new musical ■ cylinders for me and he said he would send them over to 160 Broadway* I telegraphed to Walter Miller over there and instructed him to send them to me at the Brand Pacific Hotel. I have not reoeivod them yet. We give an exhibition at the Illinois Club tomorrow night, and I shall be very much embar¬ rassed without them.
I wish to mention to you privately that I notice on the end of all Wangeman' s cylinders a peculiar musical trade mark -
operatic selection particularly this musical trade mark is a little out of place.
Yours very truly.

T. A. Edison, Esq.,
Dear Sir:-
At Mr. Auerbach's request, an interview took place at my office today between him, Lippincott, Bush,Lewis and myself. Auerbach says Tomlinson is an utterly ruined man in this community, and wanted to Hnow if something could not be done to give him back his character. I told Auerbach that Tomlinson had your money, and that the first thing for Tomlinson to do was to give it back to you. Auerbach intimates that perhaps he will ad¬ vise Tomlinson to hand over the money. Lewis and I were very careful not to give away any part of our case. We answered no questions. If Auerbach or Tomlinson calls on you, perhaps it would be well for you to refer them to me. However, of course Jrou will use your own best judgment about that.
If Tomlinson thinks he can beat us at law, he will fight. If he thinks we can beat him, he will call on you and give you the money. Nevertheless we cannot take the risk of
giving them any of the facts of our case.
