You w ill remember that at the meeting held here at which you and In. Stweart were both present,held nearly a year ago,he stated that he was going to work with « and helitved that he could handle it , and that you with the others agreed we were ^sirous of placing the property or the tonnage,and that i f he could so place i , e re otherwise disposed of, he should he premittAd to do so* He seems to have a straight story that the manager of the Los Angeles Fire Brick Companjf at Stweart* instance has made a very superior f i r e<ihrick ^om.tY|_ material and w ill use large tonnage just as soon as he finds he + ® ||! done in the labatoryi for this purpose and f e e other Stweafrt is taking out with hi two tons of the material* The other purpose for which he claims to want it is tgW l i certain particular Elliot 1 think M is,claims to have developed a Prc«fi6J that hy which he can eleminate t&e s ilic ia from the material down to one and one half per cent,and that just as soon as this is.demonostrated on a large scale he has parties waiting to take five hundred tons per t o m which I am sure can he handled if the s ilic ia can he eliminated. I am not absolutely sure that his statements are true I Understand from Stewart that you are acquainted with Mr Larsen the manager of th-aforementioned firebrick company,if - M f ha. not done what done with the material in the matter of the brick,and not making the tests- tnat . Stweart represents,please have Larsen make affidavit that he is the manager of s fire brick conpany, and that he has not made such brick at the Lon.L. ctwwart and is not conducting tests with the maginiai^e vlutifr such an affidavit would make a difference in the matter of giving him the lease, herewith I am returning the clipping from paper which you sent me some ^ h ago ill you know or have you been in conmunication with the party named/ If so find out i f you can whether or not he ever made a rtific ial marble or a rtific ia l f in i t e , from the magr.asite clay furbished him by Stewart,or if he has an arrangement w ith /gB J |||§ c*tewart under which they are to pennote an industry with said material. 1 B „I1 stweart can do what he says and can make good it means that we w ill ge^O^OO.COG | out of the property within the coming five years for with the silic ia eUminafed, I sure he can place more than half a million tons during the fiv e je a r s ,if he Cannot male© good the property w ill be lose again within a very ie* Let me hear at once with reference to these matters,and if you care to come into the lease, and oblige» --H a d SOME .
