New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-09-24

The original of the transcript is fac-simile
in my possession of the actual shelters state
ment which copy I published full size in the
daily press, also sending 1t in that shape broad
cast throughout the country
1 have only to presume that you are intelli-
gent in order to take it for granted that you are
interested in so great an opportunity for wealth
as lies in this magnificent property
feel that I am justly warranted in saying
that 1 KNOW that if you KNEW all the good
news l have told you about the Douglas Cop
per Company's mines were true you would lose
no time in having as large reservation of its
securities made for yourself as your circum-
stances would permit of your carrying. And
vet ask you, appealing to your reason, if you
think I could afford TO place in jeopardy the
business l have built up to its present proper
tions only through uniform policy Of square
dealing by making public any statement con-
corning an investment proposition that was not
absolutely true? To do so would be suicidal.
indeed
feel that 1 have made out my case with such
circumstantaIity and detail that it would be ac-
cepted as absolutely complete and conclusive by
any court OF law and evidence in the land, but
if YOU still have any doubts want you, in JUS
tice to yourself and to me, to take the necessary
steps to remove them If you have followed the
are all but persuaded. want you, with an eye
single to your own interests, to call on me TO
verify every word I have said in behalf of the
Douglas Copper Company.
want once more TO call your attention to the
following facts deserving as they are of all the
emphasis that I can give them:
Calumet & HecIa gets out just ~ pounds of
refined copper 10 Tie ron Of ore worth little
over $500 and M gold and siirer. The smelter
report shows that the average for 20 tons from
the Douglas mines 1896 pounds worth
SIG 20-nine times the value of Calumet Il
Hecia-
has name to conjure with in the copper world.
Compare them all with the Douglas
Anaconda turns out $1095 worth of copper to
the ton-one-fourth the value of Douglas.
Tamarack produces 23.3 pounds of copper to
the ton-one-seventh of the value of Douglas.
Osceoa produces 1SI pounds-21 TO in favor
of Douglas.
Csreenes Consolideted's yield is ID per cent;
Utah Consolidated, - per cent. and Tri-Moun-
tain per cent These are. respectively. one
third one-siXth ana 1pe-tUeuty- second OF Doug
lass marvellous showing.
The value of the Douglas by-products is also
correspondingly l9rge gold panning out to the
ton $3.50. silver S4i2 etc
The statement or he extraordinary average
made by the ores shipped to the FL Paso smelter
of the Douglas Copper Company is 4 matter or
fact and record and can be e3sily confirmed.
Almost exceeding belief as II is. too. there are
many reasons to predict that the record given
ahove-the highest FAR as ! know, in the
whole history Of the worlds copper mInlng-Wlll
be fully sustained if not surpassed. by the fut-
ure production of the Douglas mines. IN re-
cent letter from Mr. Theodore Douglas. the pres
ident of the corporation, to Mr.. Melbert &.
Cary the president, he says that IN an eight
foot ledge OF - ounces OF gold TO the ton
were found worth $G6l- Forty per cent ot iron
has also been encountered. as wei as st'l richer
Yields OF silver.
what il really means TO have his money invested
in a good producing copper nina No basis Tor
