We have only proved the quantity of ore taken since 1845 ranging from 3100 to 4300 tons; we could not prove the quantity…before the change in the blast…the miner stating in the range from 1500 to 5000 tons—We proved however that the hot blast consumed one half more ore than the cold blast.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, some scattered light toning, and a small brush to text, otherwise fine condition.
