Mr

J. Osborn,

General Chemist,

Denver, Colorado.

Dear Sir

,

I

am

sending you herewith the analysis

of our campaign water samples.

You

will note that the

solids and organic matter in Boiler Feed and

Press Wash

ore

much higher than usual.

It is my opinion that this is due to the

lar

ge amount

of evaporator entrainment which we were

bothered

with

last

campaign.

Both

.

these

samples show a

light trace of sugar when

tested

with lysol and

alpha-napthol.

Yours very truly,
