I'LL TREATMENT FOR BRITISH
Refugees in South Africa Suffering
Hardships of All
. Kinds
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
Durham, Sept. 4.-Representations
have been made to Lord Miner that the
British refugees are not nearly so we'll
treated as are the Beers and are suf-
fering terribly.
The transportation by railroads of
supplies for the Boer refugees prevents
the British returning to their homes.
Foreigners, it is said are allowed to
move about as they are inclined. The
refugees are threatened With ruin
through acculating liabilities.
The feeling prevails that the proposed
settlements are not fair to the new
colonies and that a just proportion OF
the responsibility for the war and eX-
penses involved be borne by them.

THE FUTURE OF "cOPPERS.

Intending purchasers OF "Coppers' for

from any other class of stocks?

class Of business Will give as large net
earnings as are at the present time de-

A careful investigation Of the present
method of conducting the copper mining

CLIPPERS IN TIE PAST,

-Four years ago I publicly called atten-
ton to "Coppers the fact that al
though they had been actively dealt in on
the Boston Stock Exchange for over fifty
years. and had been and were still the
basis of a large portion of New England's
wealth. their merits as frst-cIass and
semi-speculatiye investments were almost
unknown to investors and spectators in
this country and Europe; TO the fact that
investigation would prove that an invest
ment in the stock OF any of the coed pro
ducIng "Coppers would give much larger
yearly net returns. with 6 suFer guaTan-
tee Of permanency for a longer period of
time. than q like investment in any other
class of stocks. and l stated my belief
that so soon as these facts became known
10 investors and spectators throughout
this country and Europe, there would be-
gin scramble" for "Coppers" unpa al
Ieled in the history OF the stock market
with the result that the price of such
stocks then for sale in the open market
would multiply. that this increased value
would hold and be further increased FOR
years TO come
Al this time, and II all my subsequent
statements. the following were named as
some OF the leading "COpper8' which
would multiply in price: Butte & Boston
then selling at 81 10 $I4; Boston & Mon

net & Heela. then selling at S225 So
radical did these views seem that they
were adversely criticised by those in
terested in financial matters and more
particularly by professional financial
critics but II IS now known and admitted
that my predictions erred on the con-
sentative side only. for the present prices
Of the "Coppers'' then called TO the at
