January 11, 1907. 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.
