The History OF the Sale OF the Stock OF
- the Bitter Root Copper
- q ~ Mine. e. - =

The people who have money to invest
have taken up the latest proposition OF
the Bitter Root Copper Mining Company
with an appreciation which is refreshing.
It,san goes to prove that if You have
good property to sell you can sell it. szez
When the Bitter Root Copper stock was
first offered to the public the price
fixed on the first 100000 shares was
fixed at IS cents a share No sooner had
this stock begun to sell in Minneapolis and
throughout southern Minnesota, where the
officers of; the company are we'll known.
than a Scotch syndicate came along and
bought 210, 900 shares. all thatrwas left Of
the first allotment.
Then a second allotment was offered at
so cents, being 1000. 900 shares. OF this
by special agreement the Minneapolis ifs
cal agent of the company eX-Alderman
p. w. McAllister, secured $4,000 shares.
The manager of the company: MIR. S. 5.
Secor. went west last week and neSotiat-
ed the sale Of over one million shares.
This exceeds the second allotment. but
big syndicate has been formed and they
demanded the right to purchase 1,0l0.Oo0
shares. This win insure all the improve
ments contemplated, including the puild-
ing of an aerial tramway to carry the ore
from the mines to the snelter at Saltese,
Mont, a distance of between three and
four miles, the constructions Of smelter
and all that goes to make up a big mine.
This mine has already been developed to
show between s5,O0O,oO0 and s6,o00.000
worth of ore, and one of the big mine
owners of Montana, after a careful exam
nation, said he considered there was $685.
600, 900 worth of ore in the property, judg-
ing by present developments.
This would pay immense dividends and
make the stock now offered at so cents
worth more than par-probably ten times
par within a year or two, just as the Calu-
met and Helca and the Anaconda stocks
are worth many times par. -1-'.

contemplating purchase should look 1t up

PUBLIC BATH PLANS
They Will Be Discussed by the Spec
ial Committee on Friday
r. Afternoon. @
Health Commissioner Hall Will Be
Ready With Some Most Con- .
] FL -
vincing Figures.

Chairman Dryer Of the special council
committee appointed to consider the
proposition OF converting the old city
hall into public bath-house, has called
the committee to meet next Friday after
noon at 5 clock In the main committee
room at the city hall. The matter of a
public bath houses will be thoroughly dis
cussed at this meeting, especially by
Health. Commissioner p. NJ. Hall, who will
come prepared with a great deal of infor-
nation and strong arguments in favor Of
his plan. .-
Boston, which has twenty or.more large
lighthouses on the seashore and ON the
Charles river. is probably betteI.supplied
with public baths than any other of the
large cities and DR.. Hall is reading UP on
the reports of the bath commission of
that city. The city had in 1900, in addi-
ton to the summer bathing places, one
all-season bath-house and also some pub
lie gymnasiums with bath attachments.
The attendance at the all-season bathing
institutions right after they. had been
opened was over 100000 the first year
and at the summer beaches under the
control of the commission the number of
visitors was over. 100000 in three
months.
Boston pays out nearly $500, 200 a. year
on its public baths and the reports of the
bath commission indicate that none of
the public funds is expended to- great ter
advantage to the community. Cleanliness
begets attention to dress and manners:
both beget refinement and morality. And
there Is of course no greater foe of dis
ease than cleanliness. This is noted in
the bath commissions report as among
the many benefits.
DR.. Charles E. Ryder, physician for men
at boys at the South Boston gymnasium,
says in one of his reports to the bath
commissions: Zone of the many benefits
derived from the regular use of baths may
be mentioned the entire absence of para
site disease of the skin and hair among
boys
Dr.. D. J. O'Shea of the East Boston
gymna SUM shows the close connection
between more frequent bathing and the
Improvement in \the morals and appear
ance of the men and boys who frequent
the places. T. ~ 49, ~ = 81,
