Mr. S. D. Mason, of Andover, Ohio, says in a letter of Dec. 10th, 1902:
In October I visited the American Consolidated mines for the purpose of investigating the property for myself and several friends who agreed if I reported favorably to buy stock. I found the mine all that had been claimed for it and more. Am so well satisfied with the property that I have bought 15,000 shares, and my friends are taking stock as fast as I can get to them to explain the situation. I have sold 50,000 shares without asking a single person to buy. The mine is no longer a prospect. It is a mine today. We have the ore, the timber, the water and an honest management, and that is all that is required to make it a sure winner. I can only say to you as I say to my friends here, that the mine is there, that I have put good money into it and could give it no better recommendation.
Mr. Wm. Hinman, City Assessor of Lansing, Mich., says:
My recent visit to New Mexico, the Rio Hondo District in particular, where I spent almost a week looking over the property of the American Consolidated Mines Company, has convinced me that I made no mistake in investing in a block of “American” stock. I will say that I never before had faith in mining ventures, but on investigation of the American Company, and the character of their richly mineralized properties that years of work cannot exhaust, I am satisfied that no investment can be more sterling and safe than that offered by The American Consolidated Mines Company.
