To StockhoIderS:---

Twenty years ago the Trinity Copper
Company was organized and purchased
large tracts OF mineral lands in Shasta
County, California. 1t being the first ag
GreSslve Eastern organization in that al
ready established rich mining district "a
Scotch Company had successfully opened
up large mines) it had the pick Of water
and railway rights, and city and town
sites; it acquired and has always held
these valuable properties. 1t has never
had bonds or mortgages on its property
which has been all owned by its stock
holders and is now all owned by its stock
holders as stockholders in the new Trim
ity Copper Corporation.
The big Mammoth property OF the L.
S. Smelling, the valuable Bully Hill Mines
just acquired by Hayden, Stone & Com
pany for their new enterprise; the First
National-Balaklala and Mason Valley
properties it had under purchase contem-
platlon or option for many years and its
final decision was that its own property
was so large and varied that it needed
none Of them.
In carly days the mining problems of
Shasta were many and tough, owing large
ly to the big sulphur contents of the ores.
Trinity, therefore, had many setbacks and
serious delays.
1t anticipated these from the beginning
when 1t announced to its stockholders
that 1t was so organized that regardless
OF all waits and problems they, the stock
holders, would never be foreclosed or as
sessed, but on the contrary, would always
be in condition to take advantage Of the
Improvements in mining science, which
must eventually solve the Shasta smoke,
fumes and sulphur troubles
Just before the war, mining science had
SO far overcome difficulties as TO point
the near day Of Shasta success and Trim
lty started up its mines; but war came,
with its entailment Of setbackS of con-
ten1plated plans
A year ago Trinity Copper Company
reorganized as the Trinity Copper Cor
poration with an increase OF its shares to
100000. In carrying out its plans it
kept in mind its early promises of no pro-
motion profits, no big underwriters COM
missions and no "Insiders' profits.
The reorganized Corporation has in its
treasury in round numbers 10000 shares,
which are all to be sold for payment OF
debt, working capital and the requirement
Of oil additions.
In its reorganization, it gave to each old
Trinity stockholder share for share in the
new Trinity Copper Corporation, in ex-
change for old holdings, free Of assess
ment or payment of any kind.
The entire expense, of every nature,
was the payment to the bankers of S2s,-
900 and 10000 shares of stock for formu-
latlon OF plans, carrying them out and
financing This was at about one-tenth
the going rate for such enterprises.
Months ago, reorganization plans were
completed and each stockhoder besides
acquiring his new stock for share, cx-
pense free, was given the right to buy
new stock, share for share, of the old
holdings at. $2.oo per share Many thou
sands OF shares were taken under this
right.
The reason the new plans were not put

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Trinity Copper Corporation

into operation months ago was-Trinity
has always been the one aggressively &C
tive stock in its class that has been listed
on the Stock Exchange, and the prepara-
tion OF the papers for the Exchange in
connection with the substitution OF the
shares OF the Corporation for those OF
the Company on the list has consumed
deal more time than was trst anticipated.
In one sense the long examination de-
lay has been advantageous to the Com
pany and its old stockholders.
There has been great slump in all
mining stock and in all stocks. The price
OF most OF them has been cut in two,
some by four Had new Trinity been on
the trading, it might have slumPed with
the rest; a> it was the old stock sold un-
der SI.oo owing to many mistaking the de-
lay as evidence that the new stock would
not be listed.
Owing to the present and coming mar
ket for Coppcr> generally and the metal,
the great producers have decided to put
"coppers" and the copper market where
it should be; therefore new Trinity makes
its bow in propitious times
In the past Trinity stock has had FIVE
sensational market campaigns from s. TO
over SIS, the last amid great stock ex-
change excitement which closed the gal
lery; it sold in large amounts at over $A2
and made for thousands OF investors and
spectators millions of profits and for
many big losses.
This is notice to stockholders that the
new Corporation is about to begin a great
stock market campaign for the benefit of
itself and all stockholders.
In this campaign, which should be
greater than any past Trinity stock CAM
paign, the new Corporation expects to
sell all OF it, treasury stock and to so
use the proceeds as to give fhe Corpora
tion's stockholders large continuous divi-
dends Also that it has decided that no
old Trinity stockholder shall be frozen
out" To that end, it makes all stock
holders the following offer:
Today. Wednesday, January 6, 1ea1,
old Trinity stock will be of the list;
that is, deprived of public market. Trad
ing will all be in new stock. Today's
selling price on the Boston Stock Ex-
change is So
All old Trinity Company stockholders
of record Of January 10, or before. who
have not already exercised their priv
ilege of purchasing new shares, may, bv

Publication Day

The Independent is printed on
Thursday, but bears the date of
Friday. This is necessary, be-
cause by mailing out the paper
on Thursday night, it will reach
all subscribers who live on the
various rural routes in this coun-
ty, and will arrive in the homes
of most all the readers by Sat
urday. The Selmer list is taken
to the postoffice every Thursday
evening. Often before we get
the edition finished and before
we begin making out the Selmer
list, subscribers call and ask for
their paper" This causes us
considerable trouble when we
get on the mail galleys, as it is
necessary to look at every name
as we work the mailing machine
to keep from giving the person
who gets the paper before it is
mailed, a second copy. We are
glad to have visitors, but from
now on we will ask Selmer sub
scribers to wait until we make
out the mail'A to get their pap
err"
Any time you have business,
come right on back into the shop,
that's where we stay.

Mr.. Terry Alternately
Selmer. Tenn.
Dear SIR
Sometime ago we talked of
the Importance of County Agent
work to the farmers of a county.
am giving you below some of
the activities of County Agent j.
A. Patrick of Henry County.
| would certainly like to see a
good agent in McNairy county
and | know he would be worth
many times his salary to the farm
ers of the county.
J. A. Patrick has been County
Agent in Henry County for near
ly two years. Last year a Coun-
ty Farm Bureau was organized
with 43O members. Cooperative
marketing was one of the impor-
tant lines of work carried on.
Five thousand pounds of wool
was pooled by the farmers and
sold at profit of $l295. 90 above
the local price. Fifty cars of hogs,
cattle and lambs were shipped to
Louisville, Nashville and St.
Louis. 2340 bushels Of red clover
seed was sold direct to the farm
ers Of Tennessee and other States
at a profit to the farmers of more
than $4,000. 90 over local price.
Several cars Of poultry have
been shipped at good savings.
According to a statement made
by one of the best farmers in
Henry county, the county agent
has been worth $50, 900. 90 in cash
savings to the farmers in Henry
county.
Terraces have been built in all
parts Of the county as demon
strations This saving Of the land
from washing has been a big
piece of work. Not only have
the terraces been built, but q
number of farmers have been
taught to use the level and are
now not only terracing their farms
but the farms of the neighbor-
hood.
Boys Corn, Pig and Calf clubs
have been organized through the
schools of the county and much
good work has been done along
this line.
In addition to the above much
work has been done in pruning
and spraying orchards, bringing
in ground lime rock, alfalfa, corn,
cotton, tobacco and other demon.
strations have been conducted.
Knowing that you are interest
ed in county agent work | ap1
giving you this information.
In a letter later on | shall give
you an outline of the work done
in Madison county in holding
community fairs, organizing live.
