" COPPERS" As AN INVESTMENT.

In buying "Coppers'' for speculation or in
vestment, intending purchasers should. If pos
sible confne their purchases to the stocks Of
esta tablished. producing mines for while such
stocks are freer 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 mining
stock the stock Of a land company or an In
dustral based upon patents, is attended with so
great risk an investment in the stock OF
new copper mine. At least 499 In each 800 or
the new copper mines whose stocks are offered
for sale publicly are worthless, a large proper
ton 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 legitimatey conduct copper min
ing business at the present time calls for the
investment Of very large amount of cash cap
ital No new copper mining company can be-
gin business under the necessary modern
methods without the expenditure Of at least
81 100000 to $5,000,000 cash before any divi-
dends can be earned, making 1t the most unin-
viting field for small capitalists who intend to
conduct the business legitimate 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 close
ly follow all alleged discoveries of copper min
ing properties in the United States, Canada and
Mexico OF these there We're four hundred and
eighty odd which appeared to have sufficient
merit to warrant investigation. Of the four
hundred and eighty investigated. in only forty
odd instances did they have sufficient merit to
Justify the expenditure necessary for complete
investigation by the employment OF engineers
and mining machinery, and Of these forty odd
only three met all the requirements necessary
for the establishment Of legitimate copper
mining business"
New-York tribune., 1901-01-16

selling price of copper, the metal. is the dis
covery of new mines.
Demonstrated facts indicate conclusively that
the entire production of all new 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
so free from the risk Of loss, so sure TO pay for
the present and for the future such large re-
turns and consequently so sure to give such
large profits as "Coppers." In my opinion the
purchase of good, producing "Coppers" at pres
ent prices will give as large, if not larger, re-
turns in the coming two years than have been
realized in the past four.
New-York tribune., 1901-01-16
THE FUTURE OF "COPpERS."

Intending purchasers Of "Coppers" for invest
ment or for speculation should first find cor
rect answer to these questions
~ 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 stocksl
~ Can the permanency of production Of cop
per mines be as surely ascertained as the future
earning capacity of corporations which are the
basis of other stocks, and,
90 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. cursory investigation of "Coppers"
will prove that no other class Of business will
give as large net earnings as are at the present
time derived 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 industry 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 producing
copper mining companies first that Is, before
beginning to produce" "block out" for years
in advance the copper ore which they after
wards are to produce" and each year there
after add to this reserve amount of ore equal
TO from so to 100 per cent of their yearly pro-
duction; in other words, "Coppers," while pay
ing 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 like the Boston & Montana can at any
time after their ore has run OUT pay to their
stockholders sum equal to the present selling
price Of their entire capital stock.
A thorough investigation will prove conclu-
siveIy that the present price of copper, the
metal, is permanent that is that it will surely
be maintained for years to come, and that it
will be maintained through the working of the
natural law Of supply and demand.
The present selling price Of "copper" the metal,
is about II cents per pound The cost of pro-
duction is from to cents, yet with this enor-
nous disprcportionate net profit the consump-
ton throughout the world is so rapidly and
steadily increasing beyond the possibility Of
production as TO insure for years to come this
or any other price which does not actually pro-
hibit the use Of this metal
The only factor that can adversely affect the
