It is therefore QueS- tion whether the present copper pro- d1ction will he largely increased in the future. This sort of material embodied in the geological reports, which have wide circulation reach ing practically every mining man in the states. certainly keeps many of them from coming into the district. Now right on top of this the copper producers of the district are goin 2 right ahead and making money on F and l3-cents market at the same time carrying on development work, the result of which is very gratifying and which will likely develop into mines. all that is needed is capital to bring them out.

DON'T SPECULATE ON
 OTHER PEOPLES MONEY

No self-respecting man ever advises any form of speculation with such funds as these, notwithstanding that some of the requests arc known to have baen written by the alleged ''dead' or "sick" husband, himself feigning the wife or widow to play upon the sympathy of the advisor and thereby get next to something good.
 We will not discuss the legitimacy of the requests in question; but, accepting that they are legitimate, and W itb regret over our inability to assist deserving cases in some other way. let us consider how foolish it is for such people to seek to profit, under circumstances where great risk is en- gendered, where great risk capnot be entirely eliminated
 -AS "h SiViiNho"iN piotOoielous WnSIS there are possibilities for large pro- fits, there are possibilities for various degrees of loss, ranking right down to that of absolute forfeiture.
 The man or woman with others dependent is tempted to speculate little savings against the hope of win ming big and accordingly enabling them to provide bet .er for the loved ones for whom they are responsible. And the loss of the principal may mean instead eliminating the chance of providing the merest necessities of food, clothing and education.
 The risk should not be taken the risk must not be taken.
 Such people cannot afford to specu- late.
 Here's man who has capital of Sl0, GOO. He cannot afford to specu- late the entire sum for total loss will mean breaking him entirely, leaving him in an unfortunate cond ton. especially ii he is without credit, or much more, without his health.
 It were much better he risk but part of his capital against that which he has placed in highly speculative venture.
 In short, this man cannot afford to speculate it all, because he cannot afford to lose it all.
 It is true, very true, that nothing ventrue nothing gainn but it is equally true that one can be too vepturesome.
 And we all know of the fellow who has everything to gain and nothing to lose he is the one who can afford to speculate, even blndly and with all the desperation at his comma nd, and take all the chances thrown his way.
 But it is poor speculation without capital; they will rarely let you play.
 Sane and cautious speculation is to he encouraged and fostered.
 Mining offers ideal advantages for speculation, and chances for loss.
 The element of risk cannot be elim- mated from mining.
 Do not speculate in mining unless ] you can afford to lose.

The clerk or cashier in the bank or other financial institution, cannot afford to speculate with the money of his employers which he surrepititiously extracts from the cash drawer or the safe because he cannot afford to lose.
 You all know how it is done; how the desire to make money faster. to get-rich-quickl a-hurry, has tempted the otherwise promising young man to take liver with the firm $ money :; how early profits or early losses have caused further and larger operations ; how in time he gets in deeply, gets in beyond his depth, aud blindiy plunges against hope he found out and ruined, with but a slim chance to erase the stamp of the felon indeli- bly, impressed upon him by the unre. lenting hand of the law.
 Poor chace have those who speculate under the risk of ieayy personal penalty. should loss result.
 Of course, when money is actually entrusted to another for speculation, it can readily be appreciated that 1 looser methods, less care, and great chances might be taken, under the theory that there is not the presonal risk under loss: there is neither the responsibility of actual financial obli- gatiops, nor the thought ot the peni- tentiarv. in the other case. should it prove impossible to replace the stolen money on which is conducted the l speculative operations.
 1 There is fool luck and some bright business men are also lucky against great speculative odds but fools rush in where angels fear to tread,n and the W ise man who Is dependent upon luck has business structure based upon a very uncertain foundation.
 Luck is rarely good to those who have got to win-with the other fel- lows money.
 There is n reality but little differ ence in the case of speculating with your own money when there are others dependent upon you, and upon your money: so dependent that your spec ulative losses will mean hardships and discomfitures, if not actual startya vation.
 II you cannot afford to lose your capital you cannot afford to speculate.
