a compliment TO Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin

Mr., Fullerton also provided special

The party sent the following state
ment to r. w. Cavenaugh. vice-presi-
dent OF the Kinds Consolidated Min
ing Co, No. ! Wsll-st.. New York:
EnI route from visit Of inspection
to your mining properties at Santa
Barbara. Mexico, we desire TO so on
record as approving In the highest
degree the methods you have adopted
In bringing TO our attention the exact
situation at the scene OF your opera
tons, and In laying before US the
most explicit Information concerning
present and future earning capacity
OF your group of mines.
From extended and searching per
sonal inspection OF the Ave distinct
properties. the evidence OF our eyes
being confirmed by the deliberate tes-
tlmony OF the engineers accompany
ing our party, we conclude that the
quality OF the lead. gold. silver and
copper ores promise a splendid show
ing OF profit under efficient manage
ment; and that the vast extent OF
the ore reseryes-accepting the EVIL
dence that mining history has shown
10 be fairly onclusive--argues for a
production many times in excess OF
the capitalization.
we would like to add that the high
order OF directing ability which we
found at the mines impressed US as
the strongest guarantee that the fas-
cinating possibilities OF this treasure
house OF nature will be realized with
fullness and eficiency-the work OF
development and installation already
accomplished being little short of mar
velous, considering the short time
occupied In undermining the mining
facilities.
I'VE found the properties In the pro-
cess OF actual operation and produc-
ton, with the work Of expansion go
ing forward at a pace that should give
the Kinds Consolidated Mining Co a
greatly increased capacity within rea-
sonable period.
"On our homeward trip we have had
the privilege OF taking up with Mr..
G. q. Gillette, one Of the large stock
holders OF the Kinds Consolidated Min
ing Co.. matters relating TO organiza-
ton, capitalization, policy and contro.
and he has readily impaired pertient
information. We have assured him II
Is our desire to become holders Of
stock in this company-some having
already Observation-Disclosures the
prospect for the early enhancement
of the value OF the stock to be most
excellent
