What Copper Investment Means

tle Spokane and San Francisco.
Upon reviewing the census statistics
of the United States, we find the re-
suits of persons engaged in these pur-
suits to be as follows: Forest in
dustry, per capita, 1925; agricultural
industry, per capita, $2S7; manufac-
turing industry, per capita, $765; min
ing and metal bearing ores, per capita,
$1,910. The figures show largely in
favor of the mining industry as an in
vestment.
Conservative Management.
We do not advise anyone to place
all of his funds in a mining invest
ment, unless he is to be connected
with the operation of the company,
but we do advise those who can to
put a small amount in the stocks OF
good companies, as the chances of gain
are ahead those of loss, and from a
block of 100 shares of stock in good
mining property, there is chance for
sufficient income to keep the investors
handsomely the rest of their lives. The
records of the mining bureau and
other statistics show that of all in
vestments of mines and mining stocks.
more than 33 per cent gain very
large profits from such investments.

ment of the Seattle-Boston Copper
Company to see the stock they are
now selling at 80 cents per share go
to $500 per share within twenty-fOur
months. This company is really one
of the safest investments to the pup
lie that can be found. They have on
the dump today ready to ship 100000
worth of ore, and they are so con-
sentative in their sales of stock that
they refuse to sell $1.00 worth of stock
beyond $1.00 worth of ore on the dump,
which is certainly a remarkable Of
fer. They maintain that the only use
they have for outside money is for
the building of railroad and tram
to take the ore out, as the high grade
of the ore will not only carry the de-
velopment of the property, as well as
drive the tunnel they are proposing to
drive, but they will also be able to
pay handsome dividends from the re-
turns on the ore.
Immense Values in SeattIe-Boston.
The assays taken from the ore on
the dump and in the face and floor OF
the tunnel of the property of the Sc
attle-Boston Copper Company last
week show an average Of over $500
per ton for the ore on the dump, and
$500 per ton for the ore in the walls
and floor of the tunnel. One of the
copper mines located in the same dis
trict as the Seattle-Boston Copper
COmpanys property has shipped 400
carloads of ore to the smelter which
has averaged over $4,000 per ton net,
clear of all charges, discounts ana
transportation.
The Seattle-BoStOn company owns
fourteen very valuable copper proper
ties and has also just completed a con-
tract to take out a large quantity OF
ore from the Dutch-Miller property,
which is on the same lode as the
properties of the Seattle-BOston Cop
per Company. Upon the Dutch-Miller
property, from which the Seattle-Bos-
ton Copper Company is to take $4,000
tons, there is now 600 feet of the vein
practically assured. The values that
exist on a property of this kind are
easily determined, for you can take
body of ore 100 feet long and Is feet
wide, (Which is the width of the vein
of this property and this will give
you 1900 square feet of surface, and
estimating this as 1000 feet deep will
give 100000 feet, and this divided
by will give you tonnage amount.
ing in this case to 257, LAO tons, which
at value of $4,000 per ton shows that
this block of ore Is feet wide, 100 feet
long and 1000 feet deep contains
$12,857,000 worth Of ore.
The offer of the Seattle Boston Cop
per Company of their treasury stock
at fifty cents per share is one which
will probably not be open to anyone
many days, as they announced this
