The FUTURE Of "C0PpERS." I"

Intending purchasers of "Coppers" for invest
ment or for speculation should first find a cor
rect answer TO these questions
% Will 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?
% Can the permanency of production of cop
per mines be as surely ascertalned as the future
earning capacity of corporations which 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 purchase at present
prices. A cursory Investigation of "Coppers"
will prove that no other class of business will
give as large net earnings 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
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 which they after
wards are TO produce, and each year there
after add to this reserve an amount of ore equal
TO from 80 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 bocked-out ore
so 10 100 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-
sively that the present price of copper. the
metal, is permanent, that is. that ii 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 IL cents per pound. The cost of pro-
duction is from to cents, yet with this enor-
nous disproportionate net profit, the consump-
ton throughout the world is so rapidly and
steadily increasing beyond the possibility of
production as 10 insure for years TO come this
or any other price which does not actually pro-
hibit the use of this metal

G0pPERS IN THE PAST.

-Four years ago publicly called attention to
NCoppers"-to the fact that although they had
been actively dealt in on the Boston Stock Ex-
change 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-class and
semispeculatiye investments were almost un-
known 10 investors and spectators in this coun-
try and Europe; 10 the fact that investigation
would prove that an investment in the stock of
any Of the good producing tCoppers' would give
much larger yearly net returns, with a surer
guarantee Of permanency for longer period of
tine, than like investment in any other class
OF stocks and / stated my belief that SO soon
as these facts became known TO investors and
spectators throughout this country and Europe.
there would begin scramble" for ''Coppers"
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 multi
ply, that this increased value would hold and
be further increased for years 70 come
At this time, and in all my subsequent state
ments the following were named as some of the
leading "Coppers" which would multiply in
price: Butte & Boston, then selling at 81 TO
sl4; Boston Montana. then selling at $50 10
$40 and Calumet & Hecla. then selling at S225.
80 radical did these views seem that they were
adversely criticised by those interested in finan-
elal matters, and more particularly by profess
sional financial critics. but il is now known and
admitted that my predictions erred on the con-
serVatiVe side only, for the present prices of the

accrued 20 any other class of stocks in a like
period. The prices Of the three named, Butte,
Montana and Calumet, alone show an increase
ID value of S115.000,o00.
II Is now known that never in the history of
stocks has there been parallel 10 the "scram-
be" for "Coppers' which carried the price of
Butte from 81 TO S10S per share. Montana
from $50 to S4O0. and Calumet from S225 to
$500. and others in like proportion, another
instance where such a tremendous increase in

such great increase in values came in such a

len persons interested in financial matters in
thls country and Europe are now familiar with
me merits Of ''Coppers," when four years ago
not one in one thousand had even an intelligent
idea Of their worth, in my opinion proves the
Following statement which was used in all my
PUBLIC utterances:-
Owing to peculiar combination of condi-
CONS. this great industry, copper. is the only
one OF all the great staples that has absolutely

COppERS" As AN INVESTMENT.

In buying "Coppers'' for speculation or in
vestment, intending purchasers should. if pos
slble. confine their purchases 10 the stocks of
established, 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
dustrial based upon patents, Is attended with so
great risk, as an investment in the stock of
new copper mine. At least 400 in each 500 of
the new copper mines whose stocks are offered
for sale publicly worthless, large proper
ton Of them being swindleS of 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 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
S1000,OOO TO $5000000 cash before any divi-
dends can be earned. making it the most unin-
viting field for small capitalists who intend TO
conduct the business legitimately. and the most
inviting field for schemers whose only purpose
is TO sell stocks on promises which can never be
redeemed
3 AS an illustration of the difficulty of securing
new copper mining properties: During the past
few years 1T 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 were 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
1usury the expenditure necessary for complete
lnVesrlganon by the employment of engineers
ana mining machinery. and of these forty odd
only three met all the requirements necessary
FOR the establishment of a legitimate copper
mining business
New-York tribune., 1901-01-14

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 rhe 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
