The possibilities for enormous pro-
fits upon a small investment in min
ing Is unequalled by any other indus
try.
No one Is prevented from securing
a share of these profits, for 1t does
not require a large investment to
make a small fortune. A few dollars
when invested at the starting of an
enterprise has made thousands for
fortunate investors.
What other business can show the
profit making opportunities of mining,
and especially copper mining?

The following figures show some of
the enormous profits disbursed by min
ing companies:

1913. To date the 80 copper compan-
les paying dividends in 1916 have d.
vided among shareholders no less
than $500, 955,6S5 on an issued share
capital of $S17,930,772.
Eighty-seven companies, classed as
Observation-Disclosures producers, par
ticipated in the 1916 disbursements to
the extent of $26, S64,644. This com
pares with $12,OO5,191 in 1915 by "a
companies; by $l2,697,2 51 in 1914 by "a
companies, and by $16,650,251 in 1914
by 81 companies.
| OF the 81 companies mentioned
above, "a operate properties in the
United States and they disbursed
$22,23S,225 during the year and $246,-
731,215 since incorporation.
Twenty-one of the above are Cam
adam companies with payments to
their credit for the year totaling
$3,733,499 and to date $66,071, 1928. But
two Mexican properties in this class
report as having made disbursements
in 1916.
The metallurgical companies par
tcipated in the years disbursements
to the extent of $9532 500, six compa-
MES participating. This compares
with $4,271,75Q by six companies in
1916; with $5,250,222 by five compan-
les in 1914 and with $5,O79, 1882 by five
companies in 1913, To date the COM
panies paying dividends in 1916 have
disbursements to their credit of $2O9,-
76S,171.
In mentioning securities holding
corporations. we feel there is an ex-
PLANTATION necessary owing to the fact
that the earnings of these companies
are looked upon as coming from hold
ings in other companies. This is true
to some extent, but there is neverthe-
less large share of these earnings
derived from the operation of their
own mines, which should be credited
to operating companies. But as this
information is not obtainable, earnings
are credited to holding companies. SO
far this year six of these companies
have disbursed $22,441,721, more than
half of this coming from a settling
up of the affairs of the Guggenheim
exploration company. To date these |
six companies have divided $137, 1872

MINING INVESTMENTS
SHOW LARGE RETURNS
PERCENTAGE OF FAILURES LESS
AND VALUE OF INVEST
MENT GREATER.

Bearing in mind that mining is now
conducted upon established business
and scientific principles and that the
mining field is occupied by conserva-
tive and successful business men
there can be no valid argument offer
ed against the investment in shares
of mining development companies af-
ter the usual precautionary investiga-
ton which should always be made be-
fore investing in any enterprise. And
the time to invest is in the early
stages of development when shares
are low and when man of small
means can afford to carry them. All
such investments will not prove pro-
1table, but it is a fact established by
reliable statistics that the percentage
of failures in metal mining is less than
in other lines of industry.
Bradstreet's and Dun's agencies fur
nish the following startling informa-
ton:
only 36 per cent of all legitimate
mining investments fail, as against "a

The National Banker makes the
following statement in a recent issue
Copper mining companies pay

and in addition to that, the mines fur

cent of the entire traffic hauled by
them"
During 1907, $36O.OOO,O0O were lost
in gilt edge" securities, and about as
much during 1924, which Is more
than was ever lost in mining.
United States government reports
show that the mines of the United
States produce more wealth than the
wheat and cotton crops combinea,
per year.
The United States census shows
that mining pays a larger sum per
man engaged in the industry than any
other industry, and in the case of far
ming, mining pays seven times as

a mining operator of the Cottonwoods
approached Smith and advised the
purchase of a block of 10000 shares OF
the stock of a certain company doing
development work In that region.
Smith had faith in this man, but was
lacking In nerve when 1t came to the
purchase of such a large block OF
stock and at such a fancy price, see
ing that he had been dealing in one
cent shares for months. He asked his
friend why he did not take the stock
himself, and was told that he already
held control in the company and that
his holdings were sufficient in case the
mine made good, and too much IL 1t
was a failure. Smith was undecided,
however, thinking, one day that he
would make the plunge and pulling
back, the next, for fear that the wa

constitution; and, while he waited

course, as / have already told you, a
man may make killing, now and

scious of true conditions, but this fact
should not cause anyone to lead the
life of a hermit or to NOPE through
life like dead one because it is
cheaper to do so than 1t Is to pay
funeral expenses but, it stands to
reason that man should take more

(Mining and Engineering World)
Fortunate, indeed, is the individual
at any time who owns shares in Am
erican mines and works, but unusual
~ fortunate is he who owns shares
during this present year of record =
breaking dividend payments. The
simple statement that stocks in mines
are more than profitable holdings does
not adequately express present con-
ditions, for it is little short of mar
velous the way stockholders are be-
ing enriched.
Mining and Engineering World is in
position to state, from reports made
to it, that dividends have been dis
bursed so far this year 6 months)
greater than were dsbursed during an
entire year but few years ago, and
at that time mining was acknowledged
as paying larger dividends than any
other industry.
From these reports it is learned that
dividends We're paid by American
mines and works during the first
months of 1916 amounting to $685.
100000, with 1913 companies partlci-
pating This compares with $26,-
570,951 by 80 companies in 1915: by
$S5,644,726 by 1O4 companies in 1914,
and by $51,692,2O1 by 14l companies
In the record year 1913. That Ameri-
can mines and works are not social
ed fair weather dividend payers is
evidenced by the fact that our records
show total disbursements of these 1873
companies since incorporation
amounting to $l,129,575, 9S6, a return
exceeding outstanding capital by $780,
71a725, a truly remarkable perform
ance, when the youth of some of the
companies is considered.
In compiling these disbursements it
was found of great interest to readers
of Mining and Engineering World to
classify the producers under various
heads and a selection was made as
found to best make this separation:
Copper producers; gold, silver, lead
and zinc producers; metallurgical
companies and holding companies
Under this classification we find
that 80 copper properties have made
disbursements so far this year total !
ing $S2,0O9,754. This compares with
$9,2S4,O10 by 20 companies in 1915, by

of the company being to develop the

presumably had been closely examin-
ed. The discovery was made by VIII

burro, that you We're considerably in
terested In what | had to tell you, Ii
our last camp fire talk, concerning tht
small fortune / made merely because
/ was isolated SO miles from any bis
mining camp and was therefore in ig'
norance concerning stock values anc
activities in mining shares, and that
you were so we'll pleased with the
moral of the story that you have
about made up your mind to seques-
ter yourself in some locality where
you can cogitate upon the mysteries
of life, in solitude, and without dis
turbance and knowing, all the time,
that your little grassy patch is grow
ing greener and greener without any
effort being made to increase Its pro-
ductiveness; such life, in your es-
timation, being preferable to that
where one is worn to fragile by
fretting and worrying. In fact, you
rather like the idea of life and exist

that II you could only be provided for
so that no exertion would be required
of you that you could be pretty
good Christian most of the time.

this without losing his head as well

comes to him that he was too slow,
altogether, as was the case with my
friend Tom Smith, who lost fortune
by hesitating when Dame Opportunity
beckoned him, and another when a
goldbrick fakir crossed his trail.
1.-THE case of Smith was an inter-
esting one" continued the prospector,
"and three or four good and Impress
i've morals might be found that would
well adorn the story | am about to
relate of him. Smith was good, all
round fellow who had managed to ae-
cumulate several thousand in the coin
Of the realm, and simply because he
always took the middle course and
played safe. Like you he hardly ever
took a chance but If he found that he
had made mistake when following
his cut-and- dried methods he would
lose his head and scatter his wad
around like a regular booze fighter at
the Bucket and Blood saloon. Smith,
like many others in his set, was fond
Of playing with the mining share mar

than 400 or 500 shares at time, and
