MDpLErOwN. y. y, June l5.-Mr.
Thomas A. Edison. the renowned in
ventor. is the President of a joint stock
company that is engaged upon work
of extraordinary moment TO the iron
mining interests of this district. in
GLIDING Orange and Rockland coun-
ties. y. Y. and Sussex and Warren
counties. y. j. The association is
STYLED the New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Concentrating Company, and is organ
lied for the purpose Of applying Mr..
EdiSon'S newly invented magnetic ore
separating process to the concentration
and reduction Of the ores of the region
indicated. The place selected by the
company for beginning operations is at
the old Ogden iron mines, about two
miles south of OgdcnSburg station. ON
the SuSquchanna and Western Railroad.
The mines were opened rs early as
l772. and were long worked proftably.
producing magnetic ore of superior
quality. In course OF time the ore de-
terioratcp in quality to the degree that
the work Of mining and smelling it by
the ordinary processes in vogue was no
longer profitable. and operations were
discontinued in 1872. The principal
vein OF ore at these mines extends over
two miles in length. and is practically
incxhauStiblc. The Edison Concen-
trating Company bought the mines last
fall. The works are equipped with
elaborate and costly machinery.
