to the great growth of copper pro duction This production nbwever has not equalled the demandwhieh is so great that all reserve products in this country and in Europe are ex hausted Notwithstanding the great increase in the price of copper during the past two years the production has increased but about 30 per cent per annum and the consumption in a greater ratio resulting In the complete exhaustion of reserves as stated The capacity of the great copper mine of the lake and other regions of the United States are taxed to their ut most There is immediately south of us in our neighboring Republic of Mexico some of the greatest copper deposits in the world rich in silver aud gold too they are being rapidly absorbed by American and foreign capital many million dollars having been invested therein withinjthe pat two years The superior advantages that Mexico affords for profitable min ing are becoming known and appreci ated In the richest part of the cop per belt of Mexico the Mines of El Progreso Copper Mining Company whose advertisement appears in this issue are situated hi the line of profitable investment nothing better could be desired and as the companys policy is not to limit investments to large sums but rather to invite tne co operation of all it is hoped that many will avail themselves of the opportuu ity presented O Valentine Lodne 2o 6 Sp S J JL Meets everv
