Evnexa, Nevada, July 10, 1872. T. M. Martin My dear sir: On yonr leaving for San Francisco, it gives me great pleasure to hand yon my written acceptance of tho HALLIDIE TRAMWAY put up by yon upon our mine in Freiburg. It is a perfact succesa, discharging ten tons of ore per bour with two men's lahor. lt is perfectly slmple in construction, and, as far as I can jndge, there is nothing about it to ever get out of order—notbing to wear out. While ours requires but about two thousand five bundred feet of wire rope, I can see no reason why the line could not be extended almost indefinitely with eqnally happy results. Again, the carrying capacity might be donhled or qnadrupled ff desired. After several weeks trial upon our mine, the unanimous verdict of all who have seen it is a complete, unqnestioned success. If tbis can be of any service to you, nse it in any way you think proper. Very respectfully, C.0.

Evnexa, Nevada, July 10, 1872. T. M. Martin My dear sir: On yonr leaving for San Francisco, it gives me great pleasure to hand yon my written acceptance of tho HALLIDIE TRAMWAY put up by yon upon our mine in Freiburg. It is a perfact succesa, discharging ten tons of ore per bour with two men's lahor. lt is perfectly slmple in construction, and, as far as I can jndge, there is nothing about it to ever get out of order—notbing to wear out. While ours requires but about two thousand five bundred feet of wire rope, I can see no reason why the line could not be extended almost indefinitely with eqnally happy results. Again, the carrying capacity might be donhled or qnadrupled ff desired. After several weeks trial upon our mine, the unanimous verdict of all who have seen it is a complete, unqnestioned success. If tbis can be of any service to you, nse it in any way you think proper. Very respectfully, C.0.
