Goethean Theory: notes. A.MS. (lp. 16 1/2 x 22 1/2 cm.)  
Written in ink, with corrections in purple pencil, on the back of a sheet torn from a book (a report to stockholders of a mining company), with a rubber stamp in the lower corner ('WALT WHITMAN/Camden/New Jersey'), about 100 words: I What the United States are working out and establishing --perhaps have need henceforth the assistance of something more than ballots and legislatures.

     R.E. Bunsen, M. E., resigned the position of General Manager, August 15th, and Prof. F. M. Endlich (formerly of the Smithsonian Institute) for some time our Assistant Manager, took his place. R. C. Eastburn, of Phidladelphia, takes the care of the accounts at Lake Valley. Robert C. Canby, of Philadelphia, a graduate of the Pennsylvania University School of Mines, has gone to Lake Valley as Assistant Assayer. We feel much satisfaction in the character and personal responsibility of these three gentlemen from Pennsylvania who represent us at the mines.
     Reductions in the current expenses of about three thousand dollars per month have been recently inaugurated, and work which has proved unproductive has been stopped.
     A part of the resources of the past few months has been derived from the "tailings" of the hurried mill work of last winter. These are now exhausted, and we shall henceforth depend on the fresh product of the mines. The output of ore is indicated by our Manager as satisfactory in high grade ore, and he reports that there are no present indications of a decrease in quantity or quality. The low grade ore is found in large quantities and is of value. There appears to be an economy in shipping high grade ore to a smelter in Pueblo, and in working the low grades in our own mill. But this problem is not yet fully worked out.
     A Diamond Rock Drill has just been put into operation which will save much expense in sinking shafts for discovery of ore beds. It is also proposed to purchase "Concentrators" for utilising the lowest grade of ores and tailings. It is expected that the Rail Road will be soon extended from Nutt station to Lake Valley.
