Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-12-15

located mine in Cripple Creek The
Mary Alice, which adjoins the Port
land and the Independence and lies di-
rectly between the two, has a shaft
$40 feet deep and numerous drifts and
cross-cuts. 1t is expected to reach the
ore in this mine any day. The Par
Value has shaft $50 feet deep and $50
feet of drifts. 1t is situated, like the
core of an apple, between the Portland,
Ajax, Gold Coin, Granite, Stratton's
Independence, Mary Cashen, Dillon
and Strong mines, and is expected to
produce good results by development.
The Dameral property is situated
four lilies south of Victor, contains 30
acres, and gives promise of becoming
one of the most valuable properties in
the Cripple Creek district. 1t has a
shaft 100 feet deep, which is now being
sunk upon and tunnel 70 feet long.
The Massasoit is located in the Mer-
cur-Bingham district, Utah, and has
several hundred feet of word done on
it. The Mary Hunter is situated in the
same district. contains 200 acres and
has several shafts and tunnel on it.
The Gladiator adjoins the Dameral.
The company thus possesses the great
advantage Of not being dependent on
the results Of one mine, but 1t has
nine upon which to depend for results,
and any one of seven of its properties
would justify the capitalization for the
whole at the present selling price OF
the stock. All of the company's prop
critics are well developed and have had
from one to three years work done on
each, bringing some to production and
some near it.
The company, therefore, has the ad-
vantage of large acreage, a number of
mines in important districts, with 5000
feet of development work done, and
two to three years time expended, and
properties at the point of production.
1t has grown from a third of an acre
to over 800 acres In two years. This
company is conseryatively capitalized
at I000,00o, and managed by com
petent and experienced men In the in
tcrest Of the stockholders on the most
careful business principles. All money
raised from the sale OF stock goes into
the treasury for development and other
purposes of the company, and the
shares are sold at the lowest price that
will give the company the money need
ed for its purpose. over 100000 has
been raised and spent on its properties.
and including the work on tie Mary
Cashen, Coriolanus, Mary Alice and
Dillon, fully 100000 of work and
plant are represented in the develop
ment of the properties, without count
ing the value of the properties them
selves. 1t is believed that 10 safer and
better mining stock was ever offered to
the public.
We cannot close this article without
saying word regarding the gentlemen
who are offering the Par Value stock,
and the company itself, and what we
say here and now, is based upon a per,
sonal knowledge of the men and their
methods. II they have one predominant
ing quality it is conservatism. They un-
der-estimate, rather than exaggerate,
the possibilities of their properties,
and as result those who buy
stock in their enterprises never
fail to realize sooner, and more sub
stantially, than they promise. An
other noteworthy feature in Smith,
Stern & Company's method is the
fact that they always insist upon
an investigation before investing,
we'll knowing that their proposi-
tion will more than sustain all that
they say in its behalf. In addition they
are honest, reliable and eminently
trustworthy. They are notably sue
cessful in all their undertakings, be-
cause they are always formed upon
the solid rock of truthfulness and rare
merit.
We therefore feel that we can cheer.
fully and consclentiously recommend
this stock as safe and permanent in
vestment, and investors, in short
time, will thank us for the advice we
now give them to get interested in this
valuable property. 1t Is bound to be
one of the best in the United
States, and 1t will be but n short
time before there will be none Of the
stock for sale at any price, As quick
as the increased equipment is installed
at the mine 1t will be In a position for
business, and the mine will pay its
own expenses as well as large divi-
dends to its shareholders.
