COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as result has produced copper to over 34,O0O,O ,OD0 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000,0Gn, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under its en- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment. ..
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such won derful mine? .... .E.l
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft, of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, well and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board ot directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be -ac- cepted. s-
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion. .E..;~.
 Every cent received from the sale O. stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and al other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally, author ized representatives,

THE position of SMr. Bryan regarding "the Philippines has been frequently rmisstated by his opponents. His own words upon the subject are as follows :: 'No, don't favor the withdrawal of cur troops. What I do believe and have repeatedly announced is, we should ut .once declare our purpose in unequivocal terms so positive that the Filipinos can not doubt it, to grart full and complete independence the moment they have established stable government. T be. lieve, if we should make such announce ment right now war would cease in 'very short time, and our troops could withdraw without laying down thei? arms in the face of the enemy. Furti- ermore, believe if we had come out with such 8 statement in the beginning . the war would nevershave occurred.
