173 PER CENT ANNUALLY
Thats the Profit Copper the Article
Mexico the Country
El Progresso m its group of sfx mines has
some of the rtchest copper ores in the richest
mining country in the world Ore runs VI per
cent copqer ltoz silver a trace of gold total
value about S43 a ton and in two of the mines
in addition to copper rful silver ore contains 3
percent toGS per cent quicksilver or mercuay
about 105 a ton The great Lake Superior cop
per mines Calumet and Hecla Wolverine and
Tamarack Quincy etc that annually return
millions run only from S3 to 13 a ton
Boston andMontana six years ago sold for
15 a sjiare tp dav S275 paying 24 per cent on
the investment United Verde sold for Coc a
share today stock not in the market and pays
80 per cent on investment
Calumet and Hecla sold for 51 a share to day
worth 300 and pays on Investment 10000
per cent
Entire capital stock of United Verde was ofi
ered for S150000 and refused Senator Clark
later paia 200000 and to day lie has annual
income from this property of over 13000000
If this is possible here with labor six times
higher than in Mexico with ore five times less
valuable wite fuel five times dearer am every
toingelsein proportion do you doubt that El
Progress will return 173 per cent and more an
naiily to original investors to first stockhold

unhesitatingly state El Progreso is the best
have bepn worked for generations in a Mexican
way and supplied the copper for the surround
ing country No attempt was ever made to ex
tract the gold silver or quicksilver
A modern 40 ton concentrating ami smelting
plant smelting only the 43 ore will return
400000 per annum thus 43 10 for treatment
equals 33x40 tons equals 13L0 a day for 300
