Two years ago you bought the stock of

selling at $50 a share, and You find you
have made fairly profitable invest

4. Treadwell Mining Company even more
decidedly than I did the Greene stock. and
think enough OF the enterprise to allow
the company to bear my name 1t is the
only enterprise in the world to which I
have ever given or shall ever give that
privilege.
You can now sell your Greene stock and
buy four shares of the Treadwel stock
with the proceeds of one share of Greene.
advise YOU to do so for the following
i. The Greene Company is capitalized
at six million dollars; the Treadwell Com
shares of the Treadweil that you can get
for one of the Greene represent. therefore,
eight times the proportional interest in
the company that the share of Greene
stock represents.

where the Treadwell Company mines are
situated, have nearly OF quite twice the
the Cananeas-where the Greene property
5lies-have. The Verde Belt ores average
about ten per cent. copper and the Cana
nea ores about five per cent
l. The ores of the CananeaS have low,
and those of the Verde Belt high values
in gold and silver. With low-priced cop

portance.

advantage over the Cananea District in its;

noon. The question debated was,
''The Relative Merits of the Farmer

gan vigorously argued the farmers
side. II Maud Muller had heard
him. she would have thrown down the
rake instanter. The Judge was ably
assisted by Z. ]. O'Donnell, of No. 1.
and all thought the IMAM with the
hoe would get the verdict.
But NJ. ]. Brahney and ]. G. Cub

prised three Judges learned in the law,
viz: p. II. McPartlin, J. ]. Doran
and ]. II. Ellis, and the result was no
decision until the first Sunday in
March.
Justice Mcpartlin ordered counsel
on both sides to submit additional
briefs at that time.
