The Future of Choppers. :"

Intending purchasers Of "COppers" for investment
or for speculation should first find a correct
to these questions:
~ VIII the earnings Of "Coppers," at the pres
ent price of the metal allow of larger net returns
than be secured from any other class of stocks?
(2) Can the permanency Of production of copper
mines be surely ascertained the future earning
capacity of corporations which are the basis Of
other stocks? and,
(3) VIII the present price Of copper, the metal,
be maintained? The answer to these three ques-
lions will enable one to decide whether "Coppers"
purchase at present prices cursory inves
tigation of "Coppers" will prove that other class
Of business will give large net earnings at
the presenl time derived from "Coppers' at the
ruling price of the metal.
careful Investigation of the present method Of
conducting the copper mining business will prove
that In other industry the future earnings be
surely ascertained for SO long time In the fu-
ture as "COppers'
The for this Is that all good producing COP
per mining companies first that is, before beginning
to produce" block OUT for years in advance the
copper which they afterward are to produce"
and each year thereafter add to this reserve an
amount Of ore equal to from 80 to 100 per cent Of
their yearly production; in other words "Coppers"
while paying the very large dividends they do pay
set aside each year in the form Of blocked-out ore
so to 100 per cent additional dividends.
So consistently has this been practiced that mines

equal the present selling price of their en-
tire capital stock.
A thorough Investigation will prove concusively
that the present price of copper, the metal, is
manent; that IL. that 1t will surely be maintained
for years to come, and that 1t will be maintained
through the working Of the natural law Of supply
and demand.
The present selling price of copper, the metal. is
about IT cents per pound The cost of production Is
from s to cents, yet with this enormous dispro-
portionate net profit, the consumption throughout
the world is so rapidly and steadily increasing be-
yond the possibility of production to insure for
years to come this or any other price which does
not actually prohibit the OF this metal.

Coppers i'm the Past.

-Four years ago I publicly called attention TO
.'Coppers'-to the fact that although they had
been actively dealt in the Boston Stock E1-
change for over fifty years, and had been and were
still the basis Of large portion of New England
wealth, their merits frst-class and seml-specu-
latiye Investments were almost unknown to invest
ors and Spectators in this country and Europe 10
the fact that investigation would prove that an
investment in the stock Of any OF the gooo pro-
hucing "Coppers" would give much larger yearly
net returns. with a surer guarantee OF permanency
for a longer period of time, than like investment
In any other class Of Stocks and stated my belief
that 80 soon as these facts became known to In
vestors spectators throughout this country and
Europe there would begin scramble" for Cop
pers'' unparalleled 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 hoid anu
be further increased kOr years to come.
At this time, and in all my subsequent state
ments, the following were named as some OF tne
leading "Coppers' which would multiply IN price:
Butte and Boston, then selling at 81 to Sl4i bos-
ton and Montana, then selling at $50 to $40, and
Calumet and Hecla then selling at $22o 80 radi-

Released on Bond.

Mrs Cora Anderson and her husband,
Thomas Anderson, were yesterday charged
in the Police Court before Judge Scott with
hcusebreaking in the night. Through their
counsel, Mr.. w. E. Ambrose, they waived
examination and were released on $500 bond
for the action Of the grand jury.
1t is claimed that the arrest of the An

warrant, grew out of the fact that they had
Clifford L. Barry, the complainant in the
present case, arrested for alleged false pre-
lenses in a business transaction several
days ago. The full particulars OF the latter
case were printed in The Star Of Thursday
last. In the pending case 1t Is alleged that
the accused attempted, without obtaining
permission, to enter store which they had
transferred to Barry.

Formulation to String Wires.


In the matter of the application Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany for permission to string two wires
from cable pole in square % to the house
Of Major e. c. Carter, 1884 Massachusetts
avenue, Capt. Beach, the District Engineer
Commissioner, has recommended to his as
sociates that it be granted.
The application was made some time ago,
and the War Department authorities ex-
planned that Major Carter is a surgeon and
is called upon to render medical services
to officers of the army stationed here, their
families and those of officers stationed in
the Philippines. Therefore, Capt. Beach
concluded that telephone communication
with Major Carter would be a matter Of
public importance.
Capt Beach recommends, however, that
the granting of this application shall not be
considered precedent for the erection Of
poles in other cases.

The only factor that can adversely affect the
selling price of copper the metal is the discovery
Of new mines.
Demonstrated facts indicate concusively that the
entire production of all mines for the coming
ten years will probably not equal what has been
taken from the old ones in the past three years.
The answers to these questions prove that no
purchase Of stocks can be made which will be ~
free from the risk Of loss sure to pay for the
present and for the future such large returns and
consequently so sure to give such large profits as
"Coppers." In my opinion the purchase Of good,
producing "Coppers' at present prices will give as
large, If not larger, returns in the coming two
years than have been realized in the past four.

In the matter of the proposed extension
of 10th street, the session Of the jury OF
appraisers, set for yesterday afternoon to
hear testimony, has been postponed until
next Thursday afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
The postponement was due to the inability

Great interest in the reorganization
of the guard has been evidenced by Adj.
Gen. r. Lee McCulloch, who has been
anxious to secure for Montana its share
of the government appropriation for
equipment of the national guard. t.
The last congress appropriated $1,000
900 to be divided among the states for
the support of the guard The bill pro-
vided. however. that before any state
could avail itself of the benefits of this
appropriation it must have numbered in
it's guard force at least 100 men for each
member OF congress representing the
state.
AS Montana has two United States
senators and one congressman it is easy
to see that the state must have a ma
tional guard amounting to at least 300
men before the state would be allowed
anything out of the appropriation made
by congress.
The companies which have been formed
in the state contain from so to 60 men
and are allowed to recruit up to 80.
The five companies, with their presen:
strength. together with the battery force,
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-02

Mingling together, the sons of Mon
tana, some of them veterans Of the
Spanish American conflict and others
novice in the art of war, are reorgan-
ling the national guard of the state.
Since the heroes of the mountain coun-
try came home in triumph two years
ago, after their journey to the Philip
pines, there has been no national guard
here. In fact, as the soldiers We're
greeted on their arrival here in October.
1899, they were really then simply citi-
Eens of the United States and Of the
state of Montana. &C., ---~ =
Before they started on their journey
from San Francisco they had been hon.
Drably mustered out of the service Of the
government. OF course, that made no
difference to the people OF Montana. .
The streets here We're lined with citi-
Gems Of Butte and residents of other
cities in the state who were eager to see
the brave boys march under the tri-
umphal arch which was erected in their
honor at Main and Granite streets.
1t was glorious homecoming, and it's
pleasure and success We're marred only
by the fact that some of the stalwart
lads who had gone forth in defense of
their country had met death in far-off
land.
Technical Question Possible.
There may be some technical question
about the absence of a national guard
in Montana after the arrival of the
troops here. the boys never having been
discharged as members of the guard to
which they, or many of them. belonged
before the First Montana went into IL
service of the government.
With that question let others deal.
Suffice it to say that practically there
was no national guard in this state after
the old body went into the United States
service until the present reorganization
began last spring.
Perhaps. however, a qualification OF
this statement should be made to the
effect that Battery A, located at Helena,
has been continuously in existence.
The movement for the present reor-
ganization began in Bozeman, where
Company A was formed. The next COM
pany in the list is placed to the credit Of
Butte. To Big Timber belongs the honor
of getting together the third company.
Recently two other companies were
placed on the roll, one being organized
at Red Lodge and the other coming into
existence at Livingston.
The names of the companies and the
names of their captains. given in the
order of their formation and rank. are
as follows:
A company. Capt. Alexander wessftsh.
company. Capt. s. &. Jeans.
c company, Capt. G. H. Preston.
ID company. Capt. ]. z. Venne.
company, Capt. NJ. J. Walsh.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-02

in the Butte company that has gone into
the reorganization. Great credit is given
Captain Jeans for the time he has de-
voted to the reorganization movement.
Besides doing everything in his power
In Butte to make the military company
a success, Captain Jeans has sought In
tervieWs with the adjutant general and
taken an active part in pressing the claim
of the state against the government for
equipment that was taken into the
United States service by the members Of
the guard who went into the First Mon
tana.
Captain Jeans and First Lieut.. NJ joy
of the Butte company are among it's
members who saw service in the Phillip
pines.
Prior to the organization Of Company
B here, Captain Jeans was the captain
Of the Meagher Guards here. These
guards were, together with others who
Joined them, formed into the new COM
pany of the national guards. These are
the officers of the company:
Captains. G. Jeans.
First lieutenant-M. Joy.
Second lieutenant-J. P. Moore.
Lieut.. Moore of the Butte company is
generally known as Sir John Moore, on
account of being lineal descendant OF
that illustrious parsonage. 81
While the national government has
been fairly liberal in its aid to the ma
tional guard. some of those interested
In the reorganization declare that Mon
tana has not offered over-great assist
ance to the military companies Of the
state.
The last legislature appropriated $4,000
for the assistance of the guard during
the next two years, and this amount. it
is said, is rather inadequate for the pur-
pose for which 1t is intended.
1.-The appropriation for the, national
guard in this state should be more lib,
eral," declared Captain Jeans. We are
handicapped at present by not having
uniforms for the men. We are making
a claim against the national government
for uniforms and equipment used by the
members of the guard after they went
into the United States service.

II don't want to stir UP any trouble
over the affair, but to me it seems that
we have some rights with reference to
that basement that ought to be respect
ed suppose we will know In time how
we are coming out in regard to the mat
ter.
Not Many Buildings.
II don't know of any building in the
city that we could get outside of the
library basement that would answer our
purpose for a drill hall and armory.
However, there has been change
made in the law since the time prior
application was made by the guard for
help from the county commissioners.
1.-The commission has now authority to
build or provide an armory for the guard
in all places where there are one or more
companies.
I'VE have made an application to the
present commission for assistance. so |
guess we will win out in some way. Sol
