THE FUTURE OF "coppERS. !"

Intending purchasers of "Coppers'' fol-
investment or for speculation should first
find correct answer to these questions:
"a VIII the earnings of "Coppers" at
the present price of the metal, allow of
larger net returns than can be secured
from any other class of stocks?
(2) Can the permanency of production
of copper mines be as surely ascertained
as the future earning capacity of corpora
tons which are the basis of other stocks,
and.
(3) Will the present price of copper, the
metal, be maintained? The answer to
these three questions will enable one to
decide whether "Coppers" are a purchase
at present prices. A cursory investiga-
ton of 'Coppers' will prove that no other
class of business will give as large net
earnings as are at the present time de-
rived from "Coppers' at the ruling price
of the metal
A careful investigation of the present
method of conducting the copper mining
business will prove that in no other in
dustry can the future earnings be as
surely ascertained for so long a time in
the future as "Coppers.'
The reason for this is that all good pro-
ducing copper mining companies first, that
is, before beginning to produce block
OUT for years in advance the copper ore
which they afterwards are to produce -
and each year thereafter add to this re
serve an amount of ore equal to from so
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. 90 TO 100 per cent additional divi-
dends.
So consistently has this been practiced
that mines like the Boston and Montana
can at any time after their ore has run
OUT pay to their stockholders a sum
equal to the present selling price of their
entire capital stock.
thorough investigation will prove con-
clusively that the present price of copper,
the metal, is permanent; that is. it will
surely be maintained for years TO come,
and that il will be maintained through the
working of the natural law CT supply and
demand
The present selling price of copper the
metal, is about II cents per pound The
cost of production is from to cents.
yet with this enormous disproportionate
net profit the consumption throughout the
world is so rapidly End steadily increasing

"COppERS" AS AN INVESTMENT.

In buying "Coppers" for speculation or
investment, intending purchasers should.
if possible, confine their purchases to the
stocks of established, producing mines,
for while such stocks are rreer from the
risk OF loss than any other class of stocks.
there is no greater risk than that which
attends the purchase of the stocks OF new
copper mines.
No investment in a gold or silver min
ing stock, the stock of g land company, or
an Industrial based upon patents, is at
tended with so great a risk as an invest
ment in the stock of a new copper mine
At least 400 in each 800 of the new copper
mines whose stocks are offered for sale
publicly are worthless, large proportion
Of them being swindles OF a most fragrant
character. organized and conducted for the
sole purpose OF selling stock.
The reason for this is self-evident; to
mine copper and legitimately conduct a
copper mining business 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 expenditure OF at least 81. 900. 900 to
s., coo ono cash before any dividends can
be earned making 1t the most uninviting
field for small capitalists who intend to
conduct the business iegitimately, and the
most inviting field for schemers whose
only purpose Is to sell stocks on promises
which can never be redeemed.
As an Illustration of the difficulty OF
securing new copper mining properties;
During the past few years it has been
necessary for me to closely follow all al
legged discoveries OF copper mining prop
critics in the United States. Canada, and
Mexico. OF these there were four hun
dred and eighty odd which appeared to
have sufficient merit to warrant investi-
CATION. or the four hundred and eighty
investigated. in only forty odd instances
did they have sufficient merit to justify
the expenditure necessary for complete in
vestigation by the employment of en-
giGeers and mining machinery, and of
these forty odd only three met all the re-
quirements necessary for tho establish

price which does not actually prohibit
the use of this metal
The only factor that can adversely affect
the selling price OF copper, the metal, Is
the discovery Of new mines
Demonstrated facts indicate conclusively
that the entire production of all new
mines for the coming ten years will prob
ably 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 so free from the risk of loss.

future such large returns, and consequent

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Whent Somewhat Stronger. Corn
Active. Oats Closing Weak.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Outside of mo-
mentary weakness at the opening, due to
further liquidation on the part OF the re-
cent large holders in wheat, the market
was strong today. There was better
class of commission house buying than
for several days. Several of the promi-
nent local professionals who have been
short have covered. The advices were
generally favorable for a reaction. The
strongest factor in today's Improvement
has been the cash demanded, 600 bushels
here, 800 600 at Kansas City, 100000 at st.
Louis, 100000 at Duluth. and the seaboard
reported fifty loads. Indications tonight
are that the long lines of wheat have been
well liquidatod and the market is in a
much healthier condition, and with the
continuation of the export demand there
is prospect of higher prices. May ranged
from 70 SSG74 is, closing at 10 Ii.
Corn was fairly active, but it continues
to be one of purely local character.
Buying by one set OF professionals ad-
vanced the market IA per cent over Sat
urday, and closing by another caused an
easier tone later in the day. Commission
house interests were exceedingly small.
The cash demand here was very poor.
Local stocks increased 419. 900 bushels for
the week. Todays receipts were 54S cars.
with T00 estimated for tomorrow May
ranged from SO 1-SG3S "a, closing at
SIS 7-SG39.
Oats were firm early but closed weak
under a reselling by local bulls, whose
sales amounted to over $50, 600 bushels.
The indications were that they were will
ing-to sell whenever the market would
take the offerings. Local stocks in regular
houses and afioat increased $4,000, but
the visible supply increased $4,000.
There was realizing by longs in pork
and ribs and some selling by packers.
This caused lower range of prices, and
the closing was steady at the decline
