Orphan Copper Stubborn Facts

statement OF fact is stubborn
thing. 1t is as a stone wall. You can
neither 90 over It. nor around It, nor
through it, nor under it. Therefore, 1
am going to write down In this space to-
day some facts about Orphan Copper.
Ii does not matter what anybody
thinks or what anybody says or what
anybody believes-facts are stubborn
things.
Ten days ago stock of the Orphan
Copper Company was being sold In the
open curb markets Of both New York
and Boston at AZ to AZ The volume
OF daily trading amounted TO only few
hundred shares. / made a careful and
painstaking investigation of the COM
pany and its property. | ascertained
certain things about the property which
caused me to believe the stock to he of
exceeding great value. / directed atten-
ton TO the company and its property
and the merits of its stock as an invest
ment in public advertisement which |
printed in the newspapers of Boston
and New York on last Thursday. This
was followed ND with another public
advertisement in the same newspapers
of Friday The result has been aston
ishing and surprising to me, as TO
everyone else.
At the time l first directed attention
TO Orphan Copper the stock was selling
at only fraction above s. per share.
For the three days ending Saturday of
last week there were traded in on the
curb market at New York 27.753 shares
there were traded in on the Boston
curb market 1909 shares. making
total of 1852 shares traded in on the
open markets of Boston and New York
in the three days ending Saturday OF
last week. more than three times the
volume of transactions in any other
single stock selling at s. or more per
share.
Generally speaking the week was
notable for the decline in. all issues.
both upon the curb and on the floors
of the exchanges. many stocks register
ing a net decline for the week of from
81 to SS per share.
In the face of all this Orphan stock
showed firm, steady and continuous
advance the net gain for the week being
approximately 40Fe. In other words
early in the week Orphan stock was
selling around s. per share. At the end
of the week sales were being made at
81 per share, and the stock closed firm
and strong at 6s.
Persons who bought 100 shares at the
beginning of the week by investing $500
have comfortable profit of $500, while
those investing 5000 can rest serenely
in the consciousness of seeing their in
vestment enhance in value to the extent
of $1,000.

features in connection with the Orphan
Copper properties. I have stated that

being developed, are located in the midst
of the richest conn mir irg district OF
Globe, Arizona, CHESTER seeIhhl to elbow
with such splendiu pi-s as Miami,
keystone, Inspiration, and others. wnlcn
have attracted international attention
during the past year on account OF the
richness and vast extent OF the ore
bodies being opened up.
There is now at the Orphan property
n complete equipment of modern ma
chinery for carrying forward develop
ment work rapidly and along proper
lines Already the main shaft has been
sunk to a depth exceeding 200 feet, and
ore of equal richness of any uncovered
in the entire district is already being
encountered.
Vice-President and General Manager
Clark, who is in charge of development
work gives it as his opinion that the
mammoth Miami vein. which runs
northeast and southwest, and is on a
direct line with Orphan, will be cut at
a depth of less than 400 feet.
Intending purchasers of this stock
should bear in mind that the property
has passed the prospect stage It Ia
already a demonstrated copper mine.
HUu There Is expert dhtiOiitS
for the conviction that development
work will prove it to be one of the rich
est copper mines in the United States.
Orphan stock at any price under $40
per share therefore may be considered
among the very best buys Of the list.
1t Is the only stock that has shown
steady advance since 1t first appeared
on the curb markets of Boston and New
York, and it has continued to advance
while practically all others on the list
have declined.
Only a few days ago I advised I'M
qualifiedly and earnestly the purchase
of this stock at 51n l now with equal
earnestness and without any sort of
qualification advise its purchase at any
price under SO per share.
Any stock exchange house or curb
broker will execute orders in this stock.
Orders by mail. telephone, telegraph or
in person at my Office in Boston will
likewise be promptly executed at the
prevailing quotations. I advise all per-
sons sending orders for this stock to
instruct that same be bought "at the
market on the day the order is re-
cefved.
Buy Orphan Copper stock to-day and
watch it advance, and keep on adj
