make coper at ten cents or less. In Superior & Pittsburg they are always below ten, and with this carrying a very large construction account and prosecuting exploratory and develop ment lines underground. We have been hearing a bit about our ten cent idea We do not refer to prospects when we talk of that cost, but of de yeloped mines all equipped and going. and we do insist that one should have that sort of margin. Mine investment should return a better interest than real estate loans, as any person Of in telligence can see.
 Superior & Pittsburg's assets are very nearly even with its liabilities. splendid earning having been made for several months past. With the lessening of the water and the equip ping of several shafts the expenses are lower and they will be proportion ately decreasing from now on while the copper output will be gaining.
 And Iron Ore wishes to present the fact that Superior & PittsbuIg hasn't fairly started as yet. It has hundreds upon hundreds of acres well located upon which nothing has been done. It has surface shoYings that look good to those who know the camp, but all attention has been centered upon one point, practically, and from the small developed acreage now opened the company is winning fine profit. The ores are coming from development drifts and shafts, very little stoping being done. Not all the rich ore found is being taken, but is left in reserve to be mixed with lower grades, making furnace charges that can be economic ally handled. The company has splen- did smeltermen as well as miners. as the results at the Douglas plant will prove.
 Iron Ore naturally feels very good over its predictions on the property of the company. But it could never have said we told yoh SO if any other crowd had been handling the property. We say this because We believe it We make no exceptions. It was true grit in the face of dis couragements such as the reader can not imagine in connection with min ing venture.
 The efforts of such men deserve praise. They are people who accom- pIish and if the thinking world fol- lows them then it knows what it is about and there should be no cause for jealousy on the part of anyone. We can tell you that Superior & Pitts burg are not found every day; we can as truthfully say that such camps as Bisbee presents are rare, and those who have lands located in the heart of it are very fortunate. Those who selected these claims were good udges, and those who insisted upon plenty of ground knew their business.
 Superior & Pittsburg Is to make one of the greatest copper mines in the world. We have always said it because We believed it. It has great lot of men directing it. and We like them for their courage. They are miners, not stock tinkers. They do not hawk their shares over the country. They do not have subscriptions books to be closed at a certain minute. They make no claims, no boasts. but go on about their business, which is dig ging the ore from the rocks, sending it through the smelters, converting 1t into copper and dividends. And soon Superior & Pittsburg will be in the dividend list It's good enough 10 warrant a few lines commendatory of those who have directed its affairs. anu III NIt1 NDHllFNAiDI lEbu S8f hN- sires to mention the name of MT. L.. W. Powell who has stood by the helm throughout all the storm. fight ing for a footing and bringing order out of chaos. IL was very lucky when he consented to go to the front and take charge of the management of local affairs. And Mir. Powell had splendid assistance from his company and his associates. He Is an organ izer and a judge of men. He produced the results.
 The people who have held their stock in this company will not regret | it They will surely be repaid for their faith and patience. They will be assured of their principal with good interest
 As we print it. Superior & Pittsburg has only fairly started upon it's min ing career. The future will show it's capacity and we are quite content to let 1t do the talking
