THE COPPER HAND BOOK
A Foundation for Interest In the Great
Bitter Root Copper

Bitter Root Copper
Mine.
Interest in copper properties grows by
what it feeds on. Horace J. Stevens Of
Houghton, Mich, issues annually The
Conner Handbook It is not a. library
production, nor scientific treatise, but a
plain book, written In good plain English
and every paragraph is a nugget OF IN
formation.
This is not an advertisement of Mr..
Stevens book, but the fact remains that
no one who has studied the subject of
copper. or read 1.-THE Copper Handbook
will fail to appreciate the magnificent
proposition which is presented in the Bit
ter Root Copper Mining Company's prop
critics.
Some people are beginning to see that
the mere fact that stock is advertised is
no evidence either that it is worthy or
worthless There are two things that are
necessary after a real valuable mine is
discovered; one of these is the manage
ment that. will get the value out and the
other is the money to do 1t with.
The Bitter Root Copper Mine has been
living in the earth thousands of years,
quite as though it were not worth a dol
lar. The copper ore is there still (all ex-
cept q, few car loads that have been ship
ped to the shelter and the hundreds of
Now. this ore is known to be there. A
company has been organized to take the
ore out. The company is Differed and
managed by men whose reputation is the
very best-men whom the public is trust
ing with thousands of dollars every day Of
the year-bankers and public officials.
They are developing the Bitter Root
Copper Mine and they have reports from
reliable mining experts which Indicate
that this will be one Of the greatest mines
in America -.
Is 1t any wonder. people want to get an
interest in such property? This stock is
now selling at Is cents a share: It will be
selling at SO cents in short time. One
man said he could place every share I'M
sold, in Montana in ten DAYS if the facts
were known. He will be- free to try it In
about two weeks. When it goes 1t will be
in big chunks: Send for a. prospectus to-
day-not tomorrow; or better still, call
at the office. e.. ..:.: H. = ..'.5 =.

CLEANED UP Sl8,O00,O0O.
What Gates and His Friends Ac-
complished in the Louisville
" & Nashville Coup.
Ns,p Yorzs SUI, Special Service

-
New York, Oct. 16.-According to rough
calculations recently made by Charles G.
Gates and his partners in the firm of
Harris, Gates & Co., the friends and GUS
toners of that firm who took part in the
Louisville & Nashville coup have cleaned
up Approximately $4,000. 900 in profits.
The truth of this story was vouched for
by young Mr.. Gates himself, when his
attention was called to the report.
lit is quite true" he said u figured
out some time ago that our friends and
other customers who joined in the Louis
vile deal have accumulated profits of
about S1S 900, 900. OF course, all of this
was not made In the sale of the original
stock to the Atlantic, coast syndicate. At
one time we had as much as $780, 900 shares
of Louisville-rninority shares one might
call them-which were held in addition to
the 100000 shares which were turned
over to J. P: Morgan & Co.
"These 5000 shares were bought imme-
diately after we discovered that our syn
dictate and Mr.. Hawey's were in control
of the L. & n. system. Practically every
share of it was sold out at prices ranging
from $50 to 159 know that some stocks
were sold as high as 159. I cannot dis
cuss the prices at which the stock was
accumulated. nor can tell you who made
the biggest gains.
In the early estimates made it was be-
level that the Gates syndicate stock was
acquired at prices; which would average
1JS share. If this basis is correct the
syndicate would have accumulated profit
of 80 points ON. over 200,O 900 shares. The
| Hawley syndicate, which joined hands
| with the Gates party, it is believed, pos
sessed about 100000 shares of Louisville
| stock OF the 100000 shares 100. 900 shares
of stock were turned over at 1870 share
In the trading in and out Of the Gates
syndicate, which resulted in new profits
it is said that fully. $4,000, 600 was made.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 16.-In a cancella-
ton Of a claim in Teton county by the
department of the interior, the authorities
believe they have unearthed a Wholesale
system Of land swindiing. The Cancelled
entry was based on the alleged assign
ment of the rights of one John Stone,
who was purported to have made an entry
in the Minneapolis district. Claude Con-
zene. said to be in a Minneapolis Jail,
was found to have forged the alleged as
signment.
1t is now thought that for years Con-
zene made a business of forging alleged
assignments of soldiers claims and dis
posing of them to "tenderfeet.'' Several
Minnesota people are believed to hold land

COLOMBIA OVERTURNED
The President Seized and General
Fernandez Proclaimed Dictator,

Frankfort on the Main, Germany, Oct
16.--The Zeitung publishes a dispatch
saying that General Fernandez has cap
tured President Marroquin Of Colombia,
and has proclaimed himself dictator.
President Marroquin procured the office
of president of Colombia by arbitrarily
deposing Former President sanclemente
July 81, 1900. MarroQuin was vice presi-
dent Of the country. In October Of last
year a conspiracy to overthrow Mario
uuin was discovered. The then minister
of war and several prominent conserva-
tives were implicated In the conspiracy.
It was also purposed to reinstate Former
President Sanolemente in office. The plot
failed and the conspirators, were locked
up.
General Fernandez was the Colombian
minister Of war. He was appointed to Of
fee in February, 1902.
Urged to Cease Fighting.
Panama. Oct. 16-El Tempo, q news
paper published in Bogota by certain we'll
known members Of the liberal or revolu-
| tionary party. said in a recent editorial
article that the prolongation Of the fight
! ing on the isthmus OF Panama was greatly
| in favor of the interests Of Nicaragua in
the matter Of an isthmian canal because
1t prevents Colombia from approving the
| canal bill within reasonable length of
time. The paper expressed the hope that
political obstinacy and the, feat Of the
| field Of battle would not blind General
Herrera to the interests Of the country.
The article ends with a warning to the
revolutionists that to continue fighting on
the isthmus is to serve openly the inter-
| ests Of Nicaragua with immense detri-
ment to those Of Colombia.
This article proceeding from the source
it does, has produced a deep impression.

Fight in U. s. Senate.

The two South Carolina Sena-
tors, Tillman and McLaurin, had
a fist fight in the U. S. Senate on
the 22d, Washington's birthday
Tillman charged that McLaurin
voted for the ratification of the
Paris treaty under improper in :
fiuences. McLaurin stated that
Tillman uttered "a willful, mali
cious and deliberate lie," when
Tillman sprung at him and gave
him a blow on the head and Nc
Laurin brought the blood from
Tillman's nose. The sergeant-at'
arms separated them.
Only twice before has the ma
tons council halls witnessed
such alterations. Once between
Thos. Fl. Benton and Henry ..
FOote, both Senator'S, and Wnen
Preston S. Brooks of South Car
DINA caned Charles Sumner in
the Senate chamber in 1856 and
disabled him so he did not return
to Washington till 1859. Brooks
was a Congressman and assaulted
Sumner for words used in q
speech on the slavery question
'.Crime Against Kansas. The
Senate was not in session. The
resolution by Congress to expe
Brooks was not carried.
The present Senators, although
they have apologized, are unde

officials, judging by the number OF
Investigations the present special
session of the Legislature has
instituted. We have the penl-
Tertiary, public lands, State
treasury and the l. L. & c. all on
hand at once. They put the State
in a bad attitude abroad. as well
as amongst our own people, in
plying to all our inability to put
honest men in Office. All bust
ness should have some response
BILE head to which reports and
itemized accounts should be made,

THE COPPER MARKET.


The Engineering and Mining Journal
has this to say regarding the outlook
for copper:
1.-THE market remains extremely dull,
while consumption is very good, but
manufacturers are not buying, prefer.
ring to work. up their stocks rather
than enter the market now. This is
due TO the fact that some OF the larger
sellers have appeared anxious TO effect
sales and have reduced their QUOTA
tions. However, the time is soon ap.
prosohing when buyers generally will
have to replenish their supplies. The
demand from Europe is also not brisk.
Buyers are influenced there by the de.
cline in the London speculative mar.
ket which has been subject to some
pressure. We have cable reports TO
the effect that consumers have about
used up the stocks bought at the low
prices OF last win ter, and that more
business can soon be looked for from
that quarter"

The Copper Supply.

According to John Stanton, the ex-
part statisticisn, on the production OF
copper, the visible supply of copper on
hand In this country has decreased 100, :
600, 900 pounds since January l. last.
Mr.. Stanton arrives at this result by
adding the importations to the known
production since January 1st and de-
Quoting thersfrom the quantity ex-
ported. The net result falls short 100,
900, 900 pounds OF the known domestic
production. This is the season when
heavy consumers of copper usually lay
In their main stock OF copper for the
year. and they naturally buy it as cheaI
as'possible, hence the reason, accord
ing to Mr.. Stanton, for some Of the re-
