C0PPERS III THE PAST.

-Four years ago 1 publicly called atten-
ton to "COppers7-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 a. frst-class and
serni-speculative investments were almost
unknown TO investors and spectators in
this country aud Europe; TO the fact that
investigation would prove that an invest
ment in the stock Of any of the good pro-
ducing 'Coppers" would give much larger
yearly net returns, with a surer guaran-
tee Of permanency for a longer period OF
time. than a Ike 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 be-
gin a scramble" for ''COppers" unparal-
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 81 TO $14; Boston & Mon
tana, then selling at $50 = $40, and CaIu-
met & Hecla, then selling at s225. 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-
servative side only, for the present prices

1t is now known that never in the his
tory of stocks has there been a parallel
to the scramble" for tCcppers'' which
carried the price of Butte from 81 TO Sos
per share, Montana from 500 to $500. and
Calumet from S225 10 $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 great increase In
values came IN such a short time and
that this increase has held and is stfIl al
vancing. and that seven out OF every ten
persons interested in financial matters IN
this country and Europe ara now familiar
with the merits of "Coppers." when four
years ago not one in one thousand had
even an intelligent idea Of their worth.

AS an illustration Of the difficulty Of
securing new copper mining properties:

necessary for me to closely follow all al

Mexico. OF these. there were four hun

did they have sufficient merit to Justify

these forty odd only three met all the re-
quirements necessary for the establish
ment Of legitimate copper mining bust

THE FUTURE OF "COPPERS. !"

Intending purchasers of "Coppers" for
investment or for speculation should first
find correct answer TO these questions:
III 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?
~ Can the permanency of production
Of copper mines be as surely agcertained
as the future earning capacity Of corpora
tons which are the basis Of other stocks.
and,
tSl VIII 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 inyestiga-
ton OF "Coppers" will prove that no other
class Of business viii give as large net
earnings es 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 tCoppers.''
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-

in other words, "Coppers." while paying
the very large dividends they do pay. set
aside each year in the form of blocked
out ore. so TO 100 per cent additional divf-
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.
A thorough investigation will prove con
clusively that the present price of copper.

and that ii viii be maintained through the

EVIDENCE OF POISONING.
An Investigation Into the Death OF
Margaret Travis

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Regarding the
death Of the young woman who was found
dead in room in TraboId's Hotel al 122d
street and Amsterdam Avenue Sun
day night, the police express the
opinion that they have muir
der case similar in some respects
TO that of Jennie Bossehieter, the
Paterson factory girl. AT present. how
ever, there is no proof of murder and alb
solutely none OF assault against the girls
sweetheart, whom by implication the DO
lice accuse The police theory is that
choral was administered TO her by the
man for an immoral purpose and that,
frightened by the result, he took what was
left OF the poison himself, meaning to
commit suicide.
The girl was Margaret Travis. nineteen
years old, chambermaid in ST Luke 8
Protestant Episcopal Home, and the man
with whom she went TO the hotel was
Clarence Y. Davis. an iron worker. whose
work took him to different parts OF the
State He was engaged to the girl and
Saturday night they went out for a walk
That was the last seen OF them until the
hotel people. becoming suspicious OF "a
L Smith and wife, Troy" as Davis had
registered, opened the door with a pass
key.
Davis was found in the corner numblins
incOaerently and the girl was found. fully
dressed, dead on the bed. Davis became
violent and declared in answer TO ques-
tons that the girl had gone to - He
would say no more. He vas removed to
Bellevue where it was thought he was
shamming insanity
COroneT's Physician OHanlon, who made
an autopsy On the girls body, gives it as
his belief that the girl died of poisoning,
though that can only be definitely deter
mined by a chemical analysis. He found
tiny crystals in the corners of the mouth
that looked like hydrate of choral The
girl died a lingering death. he said. There
was no evidence OF a criminal assault. In
one of Davis pockets was found memo

was a list of poisons and their antidotes
written IN lead pencil Among the poisons
mentioned were choral cyanide of potas-
stun, carbolic acid, aud strychnine OPP

Court from Bellevue Hospital. where he
