Extraordinary Development and Con-
struction Work Nearing End

The current year will witness the
end OF the Ahmeek ere of extraordin-
airy development and construction

surplus. preparatory 10 the paying of
regular dividends, which. to COM
mence with, are expected TO be at the
rate Of about $40 per share per annum
The Ahmeek, today having n market

original investment of but $3.50. 00O

on this company's $4,000 shares. The
property has enjoyed the advantage
of an excellent management from the
facilities, combination that has done
much to bring this mine TO its present
high standing Of development and
equipment at such small outlay.
The Ahmeek underground facilities
and entire surface plant represent
all that is modern in present day min
ing and milling. a fact bound to be
reflected in exceptionally low costs

copper produced.

The Ahmeek yield Of copper per ton
last year was 227 pounds. which, II

duction Of upwards of 100000 900
pounds IN the event Of which we
doubt very much II costs would reach

1919 cent metal market. The shares
Of but few mining enterprises are as
attractive for permanent Investment
as those OF Ahmeek, the mineral val

FAST DEVELOPING PROPERTY

Personally, l would buy any of the
better class of coppers on the weak
spots. Things in Wall street are dull

last day or two has had the appear

get reactions and sharp ones. Prob
