The company oes not claim to own
a copper mine. 1t makeS no attempt
to disguise the fact that, in every min
ing venture, there is necessarily al
element of risk. Tine human eye can
not see into the bowels of the earth,
nor has the ingenuity of man devised
an X-ray apparatus that will reflect
latent bodies of ore. And, while it
is not within the range of human pos
sibility to entirely eliminate this risk
1T is possible to so reduce it as to rem

has done. For several months it's

While none of them in their present
state of development are steady pro-
ducers or have definite ore-bodies
blocked out, they all possess the fea-
lures and conditions necessary to the
formation of commercial quantities
of copper ore: and altho it is beyond
the power of the most competent e1gi
neer and geologist to state definitely
what the extent and alu of the I'M
explored ~ore-bodies will be. all precau
lions guarding against failure have
been taken, so far as 1t is possible
for human judgment to do it, and |
have recommended these properties,
believing that proper development
will make them profitable producers.
None of the famous copper produc-
ers of to-day presented a more encour
aging future during their prospective
stages than do the present holdings
of the Columbia Copper Company.
Respectfully,

Two of the C%ompany's properties
were purchased outright; two are held
under bono and lease. In lieu of ex-
penses incurred in examination of pro
perties, of cash advanced in their pur
chase, and a considerable amount eX-
pended in development work, 334, 900
shares of stock nave been issued, and
this entire issue has been pooled for
one year. There remain, therefore,
666, 900 shares in the treasury; and.
of this amount, the Board of Directors
has authorized he sale of 300, 900
shares at 25 cents per share. With
the proceeds of this sale the Company
will proceed to further explore its
several properties. The development
work so far don has not sufficiently
proven the extent of the O~re-bodles.
No machinery other than that actual
ly required in development will be
purchased. When the ore-bodies shall
have been proven, then, and not till
then. will the Company invest in ex-
p~enSive machinery for the proper han
ding and treatment of its ores. All
exploration work will be done under
plans and specifications prepared by
the Compaly's engineer and under
his immediate supervision.
The Company is convinced that its
properties possess merit; the dlrec-
tors believe that some one of these
properties will become a mine They
invite you to assist in the develop
ment of these properties. They as
sure you that you will be given-a

GERS report:
The formation at and around

limestone. slightly tilted by the
underlying ig1eous granitoid, with
which it of necessity forms a
contact, giving the bedding plan
es of the lime a slight i1clina-
ton to the N. W., about ten de-
grees of the horizontal. This con-
tact is the mileralized zone in
this instance. A bed of ferrugin-
Gus material. containing from
80 to 40 per cent iron, and from
4 to 10 feet in thickness, lies
between the granite and the lime
