COPPERS IN The PAST,

-Four years ago publicly called atten-
tion to "Coppers'-to the fact that al
though they had been actively dealt in on
the Boston Stock Exchange 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
semi-speculative investments were almost
unknown to investors and spectators in
this country and Europe; to the fact that
investigation would prove that an invest
ment in the stock of any of the coed pro-
ducing "Coppers' would give much larger
yearly net returns, with surer guaran-
tee of permanency for a longer period of
time than like investment in any other
class of stocks, and l stated my belief
that SO soon as these facts became known
to investors and spectators throughout
this country and Europe, there would be-
gin scramble" for "Coppers" unpai al
leled 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 hold and be further increased for
years to come.
At this time, and in all my subsequent
statements. the following were named as
some of the leading "Coppers" which
would multiply in price: Butte & Boston,
then selling at 50 to si4; Boston & Mon
tana, then selling at $50 to $75, and Calu-
met d. Hecla. then selling at 1925. So
radical did these views seem that they
were adversely criticised by those in
terested in financial matters. and more
particularly by professional financial
critics. but il is now known and admitted
that my predictions erred on the con-
servatiye side only, for the present prices
of the "Coppers' then called to the at
tention 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 like period
The prices of the three named, Butte
Montana, and Calumet. alone show an in
crease in value of $l15. goo coo.
1t is now known that never in the his
tory of stocks has there been a parallel
to the scramble" for "Coppers" which
carried the price of Butte from 50 TO sos
per share, Montana from $50 to $500. and
Calumet from 1925 TO $500, and others in
like proportion, or another instance
where such a tremendous increase in
price held and became permanent. The
fact that the public were so quickly edu-
Gated, that such a great increase in
values came in such a short time, and
that this increase has held and is still ad-
vancing. and that seven out of every ten
persons interested in financial matters in
this country and Europe are now familiar
with the merits of 'Coppers," when four
years ago not one in one thousand had
even an intelligent idea of their worth,

SHIP SUBSIDIES IN GERMANY.
What Must lie Done in Order to Get
Aid From the Government

In Germany the Government gives aid
only 10 steamship lines in order to ac-
complish particular ends. and in all cases
the details are prescribed with strictHess
Thus, arrangements have within a few
weeks been made for substituting an i'm
portant service Of steamers between
Hamburg and African ports, the plan be-
ing that the ships are 10 sail right arr und
Africa, starting every two weeks, and
taking alternate directions. On the LIST of
the month "a ship must leave Hamburg,
stop at a Dutch or Belgian port, then,
after calling at Lisbon, proceed down the
west coast Of Africa, with one or two
stops before reaching Cape Town; after
which, with stops at important points on
the South African and East African coasts
the vessel returns by way of the Red Sea
and the Suez Canal. calls at Naples stops
again at Lisbon and on the Netherlands
coast, and reports. via Bremerhaven, at
Hamburg. The ship sailing two weeks
later stops at the same places, but goes
by way of the Suez Canual and returns
up the West African coast.
The contract, which is an elaborate one,
calls for a moderate but sufficient speed,
and requires that the steamers to be used
must be built in German yards of Ger
man materials, on plans approved by the
Imperial Chancellor German trade is al

"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 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 gold or silver min
ing stock, the stock of a land company, or
an industrial based upon patents, is at
tended with so great a risk as an invest
ment in the stock of new copper mine.
At least 1919 in each SOC of the new copper
mines whose stocks are offered for sale
publicly are worthless. a 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 ,000. 900 to
s., 0N0 cash before any dividends can
be earned. making It the most uninviting
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.
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 tho United States, Canada. and
Mexico OF these. there were four hun
dred and eighty odd which appeared to
have sufficient merit TO warrant inyesti-
CATION. OF the four hundred and eighty
investigated in only forty odd instances
did they have sufficient merit to justify
the expenditure necessary for complete in
yestigation by the employment of en-
gineors and mining machinery. and of
these forty odd only three met all the re-
qulrements necessary for the establish
ment of a legitimate copper mining husi-
ness

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.
so sure to pay for the present and for the
future such large returns. and consequent
ly 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.

until today it is possible for capital to be
invested in this business on basis that
will give to 1t 100 per cent net profit on
all gross business-a business where the
working of a natural law of supply and
demand, not the artificial law of arbitrary
combination, allows the producer to make
his selling price such as will give to him
from 100 to $50 per cent net profit on his
entire product"

the Cincinnati, Portsmouth, and Virginia
Railroad from the Investment Company,
of Philadelphia. This brings Norfolk into
Cincinnati and connects it with the Big
Four, and there is reason to believe that
the purchase has been made because the
Pennsylvania-VaDder alliance intends
to divert much of the seaboard traffic
from st. Louis and Chicago TO the Norfolk
line. The Norfolk directors at their next
meeting will declare the regular semi
annual dividend of 2 per cent on the pre-
ferTed stock In the opinion of the most
competent authority in connection with

belief now prevails that the Lehigh
Valley is to be turned over jointly to the
New York Central, the Erie, and the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western. AS a
trunk line from Buffalo to Jersey City.
Lehigh Valley is a direct competitor of
both the Erie and the New York Central,
and as coal road it is competitor of
the Lackawanna. If the trio get the prop
erty there will probably be a guarantee OF
some sort which will insure dividends to
the holders of Lehigh Valley stock. AS
