The Piedmont Security Company, Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiiy as to the present status of
the Piedmont Tin Mining Company ana its properties, and especially
as to the qualifications and character of Professor Furman, its Consult
ing Engineer, we beg to advise we have known Professor Furman for
more tMn twenty years and regard him as a gentleman of Irreproacha
ble personal character. We have absolute faith in his honor and integ
rity and as well, the utmost confidence in his professional ability.
Every prediction which he has made in regard to this’ property since
tht commencement of development work Under his supervision has
been fully verified by eyents and disclosures which have followed. Ev-
k ery dollar of the money received by the Company from the sale pf its
stock will be expended for the purchase of machinery and for carrying
on the actual mining operations of the Company. Under the by-laws of
the Company none, of the Oonorate officers can receive any compensa
tion for service rendered to the Company until from the o*perat.ions of
the Company a dividend has been paid from its earningB, and then on
ly after salaries of such officers shall have been allowed and fixed by
the stockholders.
The Company has opened up and now cxpbses a large body of ore
of the estimated value of several hundred thousand dollars. ’ We con
fidently expect to be able, within a few months after tho installation of
our machinery, to make such earnings as will carry the stock to par,
and With eaual confidence that the stock will advance beyond that fig
ure. We believe that the shares of this Company will yield handsome
dividends with a very-short time on the basis of its par value.
Much more could he said in favor of the stock, but an investor will
recognize in this an unusual opportunity. In our opinion, there » no
risk in taking this stock, and as to its merits, we invite a most thor
ough investigation.
We are, with great respect, verv truly yours,
: (Signed)"" * SPENCER R. ATKINSON.

Th. Piedmont Security Company, Atlanta, On.:
Gentlemen — Answering your Inquiry. I beg lo eey
that the work of developing the Piedmont Tin Min* has

We have now approximately 40,MO tone of tin ore
In hand, on Ihe surface and In the mine. Numerous as
says go to show the! nur ore will average i per cent
black tin. or better. We have pot explored but a veni
email fraction of the tm veins on oar property amf there
la no queetlen that these veins extend down thousands of
feet below the surface.
The work of proving the quantity and quality of
thte tin has been finished: nothing remain* but to Install
crushing end m eshing machinery to put'the black tin on
the market. ... .
My mining experience in tin and other metals coven
period of. many years In many portion* of tho world.
1 can truthfully and frankly state that the Piedmont Tin
Mine will prove n fer belter money-making proposition
for Its owners than any mining property with which I

of or* on the dumps and In sight In the mine
and the verv emelleet part of th* property La*
vet been devloped. notwithstanding that we
have already nearly J.«M feel pf underground
working* Numerous useays prove that the ore
averages more than 2 per cent of tin: 3 per

erv cent that the company rerelvea from the
safe of this stock will be put Into machinery or
Into Ihe actus! operation of the min*.
The company hae.no debt*, no bonds, no pre

no Irak, no water and no graft In this proposi

Our plan of subscription enables ell to sub
