Important Statement on Company Affairs.
THE PROSPECTS ARE SPLENDID
Mine a Splendid PrOperty--Smel- ter COmpletIng--vlCtOry All
 Along the Line.

The price of the treasury stock of tn Greene Consolidated Copper eompan on and after November 20th will be ad vanced to $12.50 a share.
 Nearly the whole of the original 100, 900 shares of the treasury stock ha already been sold. Less than 800 of it now remains to be sold.
 Realizing, however, that the com pany has had unexpected expenses t, meet and anxious to see it placed on al indubitably safe and secure 6nancia foundation, Mir. Greene has recent, contributed 50,000 shares more to the treasury and the first 2o,000 of this 50, 900 shares will be sold at S12.50 a share unless the directors shall see fit to fur thsr raise the price meantime.
 It is expected that the remainder oi this last 5000 share, after the sale of the 10000 shares, will be sold, if sold at all, while the new smelter is running and at greatly advanced prices.
 I cannot let pass this opportunity to congratulate the stockholders on the success our enterprise has achieved
 At the mines, the work of develop ment has gone steadily and methodic- ally on and has produced most splendid results, more than justifying all that Professor Treadwell at the beginning, and Professor Blake and Professor Hill later on, predicted
 We thought at frst--we know now that we have the greatest copper prop. erty In North America.
 At the smelter MT. Mitchell reigns supreme. We know he has no superior i've feel quite sure he has no peer--in his profession.
 The 40O-ton smelter is nearing com plstion and will be running before the new year is thirty days old. Twill be the best smslter plant of it's size ever erected anywhere. Do not forget that rAe credit of 1t belongs to George Mitchell.
 The finances of the company have bsen managed in such way as to in- snrs the success of its operations. It was said when we started out that it WAs impossible to provide the capital nscsSsary for an enterprise of this mag uttuds without ths intervention of Wall street or State street bankers, who would demand the biggest half of it fer their commissions. We have the tAnkers with us, to be sure-among our directors, and on the roll of stock holders their names are prominent and conspicuous and add lustre to the list but they appear as investors only.
 The. banker's "rake-off" " has been 'conspicuously absent.
 On the one side there have been the owners of the property, potentially valuable beyond the dreams of avarice, but valueless without money for its de- vslopment; on the other the fortunate posssssorS of money, the most useful of 'ail things, but useless without an in- vsstmsnt' that secures an income.
 The two have met in the office of law firm trusted by both sides and pledged to let neither have any advan- tGge over the other and the deed wss done. It may not have been financially sn rsgle, but it saved good share of the property for it's owners and fur nished q first class investment for the people with the money.
 Nobody is left out but the middle man.
 Thefsrtsune other department of our enterprise which has not been lacking in conspicuous success, and which I do not propose to let you forget.
 l refer to the legal department, and especially to the Allegations in which the company has been engaged during the past year.
 These httgations have furnished ma terial for numberlesi sensational re. ports in the newspapers of two coun- tries, have become international and continental in their importance, have been the subiectof deliberation in the cabinets of great nations, and last, but not least, they have demanded an amount of work from the law oc1cs of yourtrsasurer that has been appalling in it's magnitude.
 The Allegations commenced last No. vsmber in Boston. They were contin. nsd during the winter in New York.
