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 nr"perty of the Copper Queen Co. .tuated Mining company on the nortn. The latter company has been in operation tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,5OO men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, 900 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceed of such production are reported to have been over $2,0O0 900, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em :. ploy for years, that the Queen min 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 a won- derful mine?
 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, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpr ,se a success in every respect. The board oA directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the con- 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 a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at twenty.fi five c. per share No application for less than 100 shares will be &C., cepted.
 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.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment Of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all 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.
