COPPER KING

We know no more about what is
causing the present low price Of
Copper King than any man who
never even heard Of the Occur
d'Alenes in his life, We can only
surmise that some big holder or
holders are selling, but we have
not the faintest idea who they are
or why they are doing it. OF only
one thing are we certain and that
is that Copper King is q good buy.
We pin our faith to it and we rest
confident that il the Greenoughs
cannot inspire the public with
faith in the property or should fail
to prove it a mine somebody else
will. It would not be the first
instance in the Occur d'Alenes BY
J long chalk where an operator
With ! big reputation had failed toi

INTEREST MORE INVESTORS

| 1t is obvious that if the present
scale Of development Of prospective
mines in the Occur d'Alenes is to be
maintained more investors must be
interested in the country. What
steps are being taken to do this?
We might as well admit that
nothing is being done apart from
individual effort to interest few
people in a few particular properties.
This is not as it should be. 1t is
not the way that Nevada is now
proceeding and it is not the way
that public attention has been
directed to other famous camps in
the past. A concerted effort to
advertise the Occur d'Alenes must
be made and some organization is
required to raise the necessary
funds and provide for their
iudicious expenditure.
If only the investing public Of
United States could be made to
realize that no where can be found
better opportunities for the realiza-
ton of fortunes or at least compel
ences from the investment OF
comparatively small sums in the
development Of good mining pros
poets than in the Occur d'Alenes,
work would be proceeding at a
greater rate than it is today and no
meritorious property would be with
out funds. How can this be accom-
plished2 The easiest, quickest and
cheapest way is by advertising.
The Miner maintains that the
Occur d'Alenc district offers more
md better opportunities, involving
ess risk, than any mining camp in
he world. We believe this to be
he honest opinion Of every mining
nan in the district. Why not get
ogether then and arrange to con-
'ince the outside public OF it?

achieve success with particular
property but we absolutely decline
to believe that Wilbur Greenough
will in the end lose any part Of his
fame or fortune through his connec-
ton with the Copper King. To our
readers we say simply buy the stock
and hold it. You can't lose.

AL Page and Andy Devlin Of
Wardner are making more news for
the local papers than anybody else
in the district. It is a cold day
when they don't bond a mine. sell
a property to the Federal or start a
big lawsuit. And the funny part
OF it is that the news is generally
true and they have done their best
to keep it out Of the papers.

If anyone had told the writer
three months ago that some Of the
best stocks in the Occur d'Alenes
would be going begging in May at
the present prices he would not
have believed it. To those who
have not yet made investments in
this district (and their name is
legion through lack Of information
regarding it, timidity or from any

INDEPENDENT OPERATORS

There is no better sign of the
times, the really good times the
Occur d'Alene district has just
embarked on, than the increase in
the number Of independent opera
tors with large capital. 1t was
only couple Of years ago that the
Occur d'Alenc district was generally
]. referred to, improperly it is true,
as two-company camp, the impli
cation being that the only operators
OF consequence in it were the Federal
and Bunker Hill companies. OF
course this was not true then as we
had among other active operators
the Hercules crowd managed by
the Days, Larson 4 Greenough and
the Hecla people. But two years
ago these three independents did
not stand for as much as they do
today. There were practically no
others.
Today the Hercules people, or
more strictly speaking the Day
family, are recognized as operators
Of the first rank. Besides the
Hercules they control the Tamarack,
Custer and half a dozen less prom
incnt properties. Peter s;;sonha has
dropped ou. pf We game but the
lessenoughs have gone into it
stronger than ever and they have
among their numerous holdings one
new producer that is as big one
as the one they sold. We refer Of
course to the Snowstorm and Morn
ing mines. The Hecla people have
not gone into any new ventures but
they have brought their property to
the front in a manner that has sur
prised all of the old-timers.
The new operators OF first rank
are +. Aug. Heinze of Butte whose
interests center around the Stewart
mine at Wardner; Page and Devlin
Of Wardner whose holdings rival
those Of either the Bunker Hill or
Federal in size and may soon equal
them in productiveness and value;
II. F. Samuels with his Success
mine and big cash reserve for
investment; the Frisco company
with its rejuvenated group Of mines
at Gem, managed by Gus Ehren-
berg; the Chicago people controlling
the Hunter mine at Mullan, now
on profit earning basis; the
Pittsburg Lead Mining company ,
with its extensive holdings on Nine
Mile; w. @. Rant and his associ- {
ates OF Missoula, who are working
The Midnight and some other mines
near Mullan; Finch and Campbell q
of Spokane, who have donned their |
armor once more and are developing t
he Star group, Bell, Rex and many t
,ther Of their long-neglected inter- r
,sts; and Herman j. Roosi and DR.. t
Harold J. Read controlling the '
mine and numerous other
properties.
Among the coming men whose
and operations may at any c
moment entitle them to rank with c
hose above named are: The Idora n
eople, Geo. P. Larson and D. w. d
'eterson OF Spokane; the Callahan g,
rothers, James and John, with h
