Patent Office,
Wellington, 8th November, 1904.

A REQUEST for leave to amend the specification relating to the undermentioned application for Letters Patent has been received, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time from one month from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the amendments. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

Improved method of converting into briquettes or lumps ironsand, whether natural or prepared, by reducing to powder iron-ore or iron-wastes.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—

1. To insert the following “(i.e., ironsand to a great extent or wholly purified from quartz or other foreign matters)” after the word “concentrates,” line 8, page 2, of specification.

2. To insert the words “a small amount of” after the word “than,” line 13, page 2.

3. To insert the words “moistened by being” after the word “is,” line 19, page 2.

6. To insert after line 2, page 3, the following paragraph: “The smaller the quantity of the solution employed the better, so that the above-described condition is produced. It is found that an amount of solution equal to about 5 per cent. of the weight of the concentrates used is sufficient in cases where the concentrate is clean and thoroughly separated from foreign matters.”

7. To insert the word “quick” before the word “hardening,” line 3, page 3.

8. To insert after the words “what we claim is,” line 21, page 4, the following claim: “1.

9. To number the claim in specification “2,” and to insert the word “weak” before the word “solution,” line 2 of claim.

The applicants state: “Our reason for making the amendment is as follows: We desire to more clearly and fully explain what we claim as our invention.”
