EDIroR LEADER:
Sir:-This mornings Journal
contains an article copied from
your paper, which is an unwarran-
ted and uncalled fling at our pro
cess: Which we cannot but regret,
inasmuch as we are striving to do
good for the benefit Of all the
miners in the territory, and when
we say miners. we do not mean
capitalists, but the men who do
the work. We are investing our
money, brains and labor in so do
ing, and after a demonstration we
propose to put it in the hands of
any honest miner who has ore and
TO means to work it, in such a
mander that if capable and trust
worthy he can and will realize on
his hitherto Intellectual labor. We
send you II Of our pamphlets,
which we think worthy of your
perusal, and ask your careful eX-
animation thereof.
We feel that YOU have spoken
out in your paper, not from any i'll
will towards us, but from a spirit
Of vindictiveness imbibed III your
locality from having been imposed
upon in 50 many ways and so many
times. Yours Respectfully,
THos. G.. DOUGLAS.
The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1884-08-09

We publish the above letter from
Mr.. 1hos. &. Douglas, Secretary
of the New Mexico Standard Hy-
dro-Carbon Fuel Co., of Albuquer-
que, who feels hurt at our remarks
in reference to new processes for
reducing ores. All we have to say
is that if the HYDRO Carbon process
works as its enthusiastic hackers
seem to think it will, We shall be
glad Of it and may buy some. We
have read the pamphlet which Mr..
d. sends and are very much i'm
pressed with the confidence ex-
pressed by the proprietors of the
new patent, i'll the complete sue
cess Of the process. In theory it
appears all right and it only re.
mains to be seeu whether or not il
will bear the test Of practical appli
cation. Wait and see. But We
syill Insist that we had much rather
these experiments be made in Hell.
Canon, on Hell mesa OF any where
in that locality, than here.
