Some Copper Bargains.

The Native Copper Times takes an optimistic view of the copper share outlook, declaring that there are many good stocks now on the bargain counter. It says:
 First, comes the Calumet X Hecla, which at 450S per share, is a pick up, as an investment, and is likely to prove big winner in the advance in the price of shares. This company's mine was never in better position than it is today for economical mining.
 The mine is worked along practical and business lines, the stamp mills are in condition to give the best possible results: and the smelterS are doing something to help along the good work of making pound of copper at the lowest possible cost-and then other bettermentS are under way, which, when completed, will add to the completeness of as fine mining plant, all things considered, as there Is Ill lnt NOllu lOudNs uul pOSSIo oiN without an equal.
 There is the big regrindlng plant, under construction, the steel structure for which is completed, and this will care for 300) tons of waste sands daily, which will include a large tonnage from the old sands, and in operating the two regrinding plants will easily produce S,000.000 pounds or more of copper per annum, and at a minimum cost.
 The addition to the electric power, increasing the capacity over 10000 horse power is progressing favorably, and will before many months be doing duty, and helping in the way of econ omy of operation.
 At the smelling works there are the two big refining furnaces, one of which is now in operation. and working satis- factorily to help care for the increaS- ed mineral tonnage coming from the subsidiary mines.
 And last, but not least, the big cleo trolytic plant, to care for the products of certain mines, and partial products of other mines in the recovery of sll- yer. and removing of other impurities a plant which will probably be ready for duty by the early spring of 1911. These changes and betterments are all being made and put in for a purpose to help in the mining, and making pound of copper at the lowest pos sible figure.
 First among the subsidiaries, Is the Ahmeek-a wonder in amygdaloids, and a mine that will make new and greater records when fully opened and given ample stamping facilities. The shares at 2S0$ are down, and will be among the first to advance.
 The selling of Copper Range Con- solidated shares around 43S should at tract the investinypublic, for at such figures they are a bargain. The mines of this company are in prime con- dition underground, and will give a good account of themselves, and for a long time to come.
 Then the putting in of the Hardinge mills or grinders will help swell the product, and the increase will be made at small cost. They will save a few pounds of copper more for each ton of rock save so much metal from going into Lake Superior.
 There has been lot of work done underground the past year, and the improvements in the mills, now un- der way, and about completed h the Baltic mill, have all cost money, and pretty soon stockholders will appre- cia.e just what this new work means to the future of the property, as well as to themselves. Copper Range at 43S may be purchased, and put away, for big return later on.
