The Copper Strike
Is Now Ended

Washington, Oct. 23.-Presdent
Wilson's special labor investigating
commission reported a settlement OF
the strike of more than 500 copper
miners in the Globe Miami district
of Arizona on a basis which prom
ses oset a precedent for compos-
ing labor disputes elsewhere.
BY providing for resumption of
work Immediately the commission
paved the way for arbitrating other
Arizona copper mine strikes, which
have caused loss of many million
pounds of war metal in the last four
months and resulted in deportations
of strikers and other disorders.

Why People Buy Mining Stock.

It is not difficult to understand
why people become SO intensely
interested in the purchase Of min.
ing stocks when the record of the
mining industry in Ameria is care
fully considered.
There is no other industry that
has. paid such wonderful profits
AS mining. Holders of mining
stocks during the year 1915 realiz-
ed no less than 500, 900, 900 in
profits through advances in the
prices of these stocks during last
year.
The dividend record for the
year 1915 is as wonderful as the
record of increased values 10
stock. The huge sum of $110,
047, 14t was paid in dividends dur
ing the year 1915 by American
metal mines and works and securi-
ties holding companies. Exclu-
sive of the holding companies, the
metal mines and works included
in last years figure have paid to-
tai dividends of $991, 477,175, a re
turn of invested capital and $242,
023.41O additional. No other of
the nations industr les has made
such a showing. Sixty two of the
companies included in the above
figures are gold mining compa.
MES. They have paid dividends
to date amounting to 1896, 78l. 453
on IN issued capital of $161, 1855,
069. or more than AS per cent on
the original investment.
Probably no mines of the world
have paid greater profits than
those Of the Comstock Lode. The
bonanza ore body of the Comstock
was found at a depth of 1900 feet
in the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines. This ore body
produced the tremendous sum of
Sill, 975, 761. These two bonanza
mines paid dividends OF $4,000,
900.
Consolidated Virginia advanced
from II cents a share to $3.50 a
share. Other Comstock compa-
MES showed fully as marvellous
profits. Belcher went from 81 to
81, 525 per share. while Crown
Point advanced from 81 to $I,825
a share.
Such instances prove the oft-re-
peated statement that one good in
vestment is worth more than life
time of labor. Twenty. five dol
lars invested in Consolidated Vir-
ginia would have paid 500, $50 If
the stock had been purchased at
the lowest price and sold at the
highest. Twenty-Five dollars

worth of Bclchcr stock would Ia
ter have been worth S3S, 1875 and
this amount invested in Crown
Point Mt the lowest price would
later have lad n value of $22, 800.
Every gold mining camp of A
merica has it's story of wonderful
profits and every camp has its
list of MiIlionairies.
The total of dividends paid by
the American mining industry,
plus the increase in value of min
ing stock, is greater than profits
paid by any other industry of the
country. These profits are great
err than the combined appreciation
and dividends of all the railroads
and banking institutions of the
United States by large odds.
According to Bradstreets and
Dunn's we discover the startling
fact that but 36 per cent of all le
gitimate mine Investments fail,
while "a per cent of general COM
mercial enterprises r failures.
Government figures made pub
lie during 1915 shows the follow
ing returns on capital invested in
the country's various leading in
dustries:
Railroads, 3 per cent; National
banks, 6 | 4 per cent; insurance,
IL per cent; numbering, IA per
cent; manufacturing, 20 per cent;
mining. 1872 per cent.
An industry that is capable of
paying such vastly greater profits
than any other industry quite ma
turally hold greater attractions
for investment than the securities
of other industries. daily Min
