Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dec. 5th.
Rev. W. P Fife, Thomasville, n. c..
Dear Sir: Yours of the End inst re-
ceived and contents duly noted. Since
saw YOU | have visited the Afterthought
Group of Mines in California. have
been there twice now, and my candid
Judgment is, Brother Fife, that we have
a very great mine. / regard Nj. Dltmar
as standing at the head of the mining
business in California. Al you know he
stands officially very high in mining CIR
cles. and also is the editor of Il mining
Journal, and has had rare opportunities
Of investigating mines. He has lnVestl-
gated the Afterthought property very
carefully, and he tells me that he has no
doubt but that it is the third richest
mine in California He further tells me
that with the character of the ore and
the quantity, he thinks there will
be no trouble when the nelter gets IN
operation to produce at lcas. $4,000
month in bullion l went through num-
erous tunnels in these mines. and as lou
know l am a large stakeholder, and had
an interest in carefully examining AMI
observing them. l was amazed Mt the
vast quantity of ore in SIGHT. My ex-
animation was in September. Since that
time every day has disclosed greater and
grander possibilities for this mine. The
deeper we have gone the wider seem
to be the veins and the richer. [ saw
some more just before / left in November
taken from the deepest DEPTHS that was
estimated at $4,000 to $1,000 ton. NOW
when YOU take into consideration the large
quantity of ore you can see the great
richness of this mine The Afterthought
mines have been fully paid for, and the
deeds placed on record. So we'll docs this
mine stand in the estimation of the
public that we would have no trouoe II
the emergency should arise to borrow
money for the mines. but nope snch
emergency will not arise as the sale or
stock is going on very rapidly. Inc
smelter was going up rapidly when was
there. We have to lay a mile OF rail-
road track in order to get from the mlne
to the smelter. in addition TO TINS we are
compelled to build two mile ditch So
as to give us a very large amount OF
water power. The ninety horse power
air compressor has been Just put m
Buildings are going UP and vast amount
of WORK is being done.
Mr. Scott, the superintendent IS IN all
respects a first-class man. Inc company
could not have done better, IN my judy
ment. than to have secured him. every
| thing seerss to be running alright and
| l have no doubt of the success OF the
| Great Western.
Hoping that l may hear from you
a gain soon,
am with high regards,
Very truly yours.
