Big Fortunes in Copper.
N ' single industry in the world is now
paying so large a profit on the amount
o f money invested as the copper indus
try. During the last 20 years the copper
mines o f the United States and Mexico
have paid in actual dividends, *300,000,-
000. Since January 1st, o f this year,
ten copper companies alone have dis
tributed in eamings nearly $19,000,000.
Shasta and Siskiyou counties, California,
are today producing more pounds o f
copper, for the amount o f money invest
ed than any other district in the United
States.
The mining o f copper is making more
millionaires than any other industry in
the world and is making them quicker.
To make large profits on a small outlay,
in copper, one must purchase shares in
a company that has just begun opera
tions but which can prove that it ha*
great deposits o f the metal, and which
is selling its shares at a low price in or
der to obtain funds to purchase equip
ment and enlarge its operations. The
advancing price o f copper and the grow
ing demand and consumption o f the
metal have made copper mines the most
sought after o f all mineral properties.
There are countless opportunities for
profitable investment in the develop
