Internationally
Since our late reference to the Keystone Con-
solidated Mining Company we have learned
some facts which we regard as specially inter.
esting and important to any of our citizens who
may contemplate investing in its stock, under
the "Branch Directory plan, which is being or.
ganzed here by Mr.. NJ. D. White, the agent. AZ
ter more thorough investigation of the loca.
ton and surroundings OF the Keystone property,
and critical examination Of the Companys ar
Irangements for the issue and sale OF stock, and
the protection of the interests of stockholders,
we have no hesitation IN pronouncing 1t the most
complete and careful in all respects, OF any com
pany extant. AS n logical conclusion, we have
concluded to increase our subscription. Our
chief regret in this connection being that we
connot secure % handsome "Block' OF Keystone
Consolidated at present rates, before the rise
| in the market, which we are well satisfied mus
follow the preliminary developments now being
made on this rich property. MIR. Hugh Henry

This property, from it's favorable situation, hav
ling an abundsnt supply OF timber and being 10
Gated directly on Eagle River, convenient 10
smelters, and surrounded on all sides by rich
claims in process OF development at the time II
was secured, was regarded 10y competent mining
lcxperts as the very cream Of TIE camp. The cor
rectness OF this opinion has been fully borne ou'
and substantially confirmed by subsequent de
velopments made on the Ang To- American 'ked
Gin Silver Mining Co.. and other adjoining
claims, not one of which had, at the time they
were opened, anything to compare with The
prospects indicated by the Keystone.
