The Future of choppers. !"

Intending purchasers Of 'Coppers for investment
nr for speculation should first find correct answer
to these questions:
"a viii the earnings of 'Coppers at the pres
ent price of the metal allow of larger net returns
than can be secured from any other class of stocks
90 Can the permanently of production of copper
mines he surely ascertainad the future earning
capacity of corporations which the basis Of
other stocks? and.
go VIII the present price of "copper" the metal
be maintained? The to these three ques-
tons will enable one to decide whether 'COppers
Il purchase present prices. cursory inyes-
tigatOn Of 'Ceppers will prove that other class
of business will give large net earnings at
the presei, tine derived from "Coppers at the
railing price of the metal.
careful Investigation Of the present method Of
conducting the copper mining business win prove
that In other industry the future earnings be
surely ascertained for long time In the flu
tnre "Coppers
The for this Is that all good producing cop
per mining companies first. that is. before beginning
to prod,lce,' block OUT for years in advance the
copper which they afterward to produce"
and each yea thereafter add to this reserve an
amount OF alnai to from so to 100 per cent Of
their yearly pro,uc, ion; other words. Coppers
while paying the very large dividends they do pay
set aside eacL year in the form OF blockedout ore
; 50 to 100 PEI cent additional dividends.
So consist ently has this been practeed that mines
| like the Boston and Montana can at any time after
Chef has run out pay to their stockholders
equal the present selling price of their
lire capitaI sto x.
A thorough investigation will prove concusively
that the present ice OF copper. the metal. Is per-
manent; that is that 1t will surely he maintained
for years to come, a II that 1t will be maintained
through the working Of the natural law of supply
aud demand
The present selling price of copper. the metal Is
about II per pound The cost Of production is
rom 5 to cents. vet with this enormous dspro-
portionate profit. the consumption throughout
the world is rapidly and steadily increasing be-
yond the possibility of production to insure for
years to come this any other price which does
not actually prohibit the use OF this metal.

sCopDers as am Investment,

In buying "Coppers'' for speculation or invest.
ment. intending purchasers should II possible,
hle their purchases to the stocks OF established
producing mines. for while such stocks are freer
from the risk OF loss than any other class Of cks
there is greater risk than that which attends
the purchase OF the stocks of new copper mines.
No investment In a gold silver mining stock,
the stock of land company an industrial based
upon patents. is attended with great u risk
an investment in the stock OF a copper IN ne.
AT least 40 In each 800 uf the copper mines
whose stocks offered for sale publicly
worthless u large proportion OF them being
swtndles OF a most fragrant character. organized
and conducted for the sole purpose Of selling stock
The reason for this is sef-evldent; to M cop
per and legitimately conduct copper IN. ming bus
mess at the present time calls for the investment
Of a very large amount of cash capital No new
copper mining company can begin business under
the necessary modern methods. without the
pendiure Of at least 81 goo 900 5000 cash
before any dividends be earned, making 1t the
most uninyitng field for small capitalists who in
tend to conduct the business legitimatey and the
most inviting field for schemers whose only pur-
pose is to sell stocks promises which
be redeemed.
As illustration Of the dificulty Of securing
copper mining properties: During the past
few years 1t has been necessary for me to closely
follow all alleged discoveries Of copper mining
properties in the United States. Canada and
Mexico. or these there {; ur hundred and
eighty odd which appeared to have sufficient merit
to warrant investigation OF the four hundred and
eighty investigated In oay forty odd instances did
they have sufficient merit jus ify the expenditu
necessary for complete investigation by the en-
ployment Of engineers and mining machinery. and
Of these forty odd only three met all the require
ments necessary for the establShmsnt e = lesitk
mate copper mining tusiness."

CopDers i'm the Past.

-Four years ago I publicly called attention to
..Coppcrs'-to the fact that although they had
been actively dealt in on the Boston STOCK EA-
change fifty years, and Ind been and were
still the basis of n large portion of New Engiam
wealth, their merits first class and semi-speeu-
lativa investments were almost unknown to invest
ors and s,eculatcrs In this country and Europe: to
the fact that investigation would prove that an
investment il. the stock If any of The good pro-
aucing "Coppers'' would give much larger yearly
net returns. with sIrer guarantee of rerm'uency
for n longer period of time. than like investment
In any other class stocks. and stated my belief
that so SON rs these facts became known to in
:estors and spectators throughout this country ana
Europe ther% would begin scramble for Cop
pcrs'' unparalleled in the history of the stock
market with the result THAT the price OF such
stocks tEen fer sale in the open market would
multiply that this Increased value would hold and
he further Inc -eased for years to come
At this tine, md in all my subsequent state
ments, the fiiow1ng were named as some Of the
leading ..CopI rs which would multiply In price:
Butte and Boston. then selling Mt 81 to Sl4; Bos-
ton and Montana, then selling at $50 to S15. and
Calumet and Heca. then selling at S225. So radi-
cal did thes" views seem that they were adversely
criticised by tiose interested In financial matters.
and more particularly by professional financial crit
les, but 1t is now Known and admitted that my
predictions erred the conservative side only. for
the present prices of the 'Coppers then called to
the attentia. of the public show an increase In
value of hundreds of millions of dollars. or more
than has ever accrued to any other class of stocks
In "A like period. The prices of the three named
Butte, Montana and Calumet-aonc show an In
crease in value OF $115,OOO,0oO.
1t Is now known that in the history of
stocks has there been parallel to the scramble
for "Coppers'' which carried the price of Butte
from 81 to sos per share. Montana from 500 to
$780, ind Calumet from $225 to 5000. and others
in like proportion. another instance where such
n tremendous Increase in price held and became
permanent The fact that the public were SO
quickly educated, that such n great increase in
Clues came in such a short time. and that this
increase has held and Is still advancing. and that
seven ont Of every persons interested in fnan-
cial matters in this country and Europe are now
fam,lja with the merits OF ''COppers." when four
wears age no, one n thousand had even an In
telligent idea their worth, In my opinion proves
the following statement which was used In all
my public ntterances:
