Money in Copper
More money has in recent years
been made in coprJer mining than in
any other stable enterprise as free
from the element of risk The experi
ence of a common laborer at theu same
Calumet and Ilecla Mines is interesting
He began by investing his surplus wa
ges in the stock then his dividendsand
today is the possessor by tins method
of 500 shares of the stock worth on the
market nearly 400000 Many of the
old employes of these mines have ac
cumulated from 10000 to 50C00 in
the same way The original purchas
ers of the stock of the comiianies now
forming the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany paid m most instances not to ex
ceed 50 per cent of their par value
The market value today is at least
fourteen times the amount paidor clear
profit of over 1000 per cent besides
all of the dividends received which
have been at least an equal amount
Solon M Allis C E formerly United
States Deputy Mineral Surveyor of
Tucson Arizona was once offered the
great Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee for
2000 but although a mining expert
he could not appreciate its richness
then or had not the cash for it went
into other hands and is worth millions
today Pages might be filled with in
stances of both lost and improved op
portunities similar to the above but all
emphasizing the truth of a statement
once made by John W Mackay the
Bonanza King Nothing pays better
than an investment in a good nVine
The El Progreso Copper Mines adver
tised in this issue affords such an op
portunity

Mexico the Country
El Trogrcsso in its group of six mines has
some of the rtchest copper ores in the richest
mining country in the world Ore runs 12 per

value about 43 u ton and in two of the mines
in addition to copper and silver ore contains a

about 5105 a ton The great Lake Superior cop

Boston and Montana six years ago sold for

8i5J per cent on investment
Calumet and lleela sold for 51 a share to day
worth 800 and pays on investment 10000
per cent
Entire capital stock of United Verde was off

later paia 2GO000 and to day he has annual
income from this property of over Sl3000ooo
If this is possible here with labor six times
higher than In Mexico with ore five times less
