N single industry in the world is now
paying so large a profit on the amount
of money invested as the copper indus­
try. During the last 20 years the copper
mines of 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 earnings nearly $19,000,000.
Shastaand Siskiyou o- unties. California,
are today p r
more pound of
copper, for t h, art.< uni of 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 has
jtreat deposits of the metal, and which
is selling its shares at a low price in or­
der to obtain funds to purcn3.se equip­
ment and enlarge its operations. The
advancing price of copper and the grow­
ing demand and consumption of ths
metal have made copper mines the mot t
sought after o f all mineral properties.
There are countless opportunities for
profitable investment in the develop­
ment of the natural resources o f t ie
West, but only those who have visaed
the Blue Ledge mining district, sit, ated
in Siskiyou county,
alifomia, ran, in
the slightest degree, appreciate the vast
opportunities for profitable investments
in that new and thriving copper camp.
Properties owned by the Joe Creek
f-opper company are: First National,
preen wood and Dead wood, all situated
j^ss than one-half mile from the famous
Blue Led ?e mine which is being devel­
oped on an immense scale by New York
capitalists. Development on the First
National is steadily advancing, the cross
cut tunnel, driven from the foot wall,
beside the vein, has already reached a
depth of 100 feet and an additional 50
feet will have been driven before the
vein will be encountered. The outcrop­
ping of the vein is from 50 to 100 feet
wide and traverses the First National
and Greenwood th< ir full length 3000
feet.
Development work under competent
management will be energetically sd-
vanced throughout the Winter months.
This property is surrounded by the Cook
prd Green, Bloomfield, Midnight and
Blu! Ledge mines.
Among the stockholders o f this com-
ny may be mentioned Simon Shaw,
mining operator, prospector and miner,
Wm. Angle, retired merchant, Med­
