Since so many people in and aroundAl bany are becoming interested in copper mining, wo publish the following, which is taken from data in possession of Mr. Arthur Langguth, the Fiscal Agent of thu Freeland Consolidated Co., The Gold Creek Co. and The Flectric Min ing & Smelting Co., whose office and ore display is in Senders' Store, Albany, showing the enormous dividends paid to stockholders during 1908, in a few of Michigan copper mines: Copper range..- $1,827,014 Champion 300,000 Calumet & Hecka 2,000.000 Osceola 196,000 Mohawk . 250,000 Quincy 675,000 Trimountain . 600,000 Wolverine 600,000 Total $0,348,014 What a nice thing it must be for those shareholders who bought stock in those mines when it was cheap. All tnese money-masing mines were in the same position to Gold Creek, 1 Electric and Freeland mines are just now, namely.the raising money bylsell-, ing their shares low, to induce people to invest, that ihe mines might be de veloped, and fulfill their contracts to deliver their ores to Ithe new smelter which will be built-this summer right at their doors.

(" . - . j attempt to both mine "and smelt their ores, but deem it wiser to sell their ores to Smelter Company, whose bus iness is strictly smelling and not min ing. It is when a mining company has its output to smelter, that shareholders . have a right to expect returns quite regularly. We are informed on good authority that the Santiam Smelter (Wilson-Gadsden Co.) has become satisfied that all the necesBary fluxes, are in the ores of the Gold Creek, Freeland and Electric Co's, that it will be almost impossible for it to handle any other ores for the first two years, or until additional fur nace capacity is provided. ((.Consequently, an investment divided up in all three should be alright, es pecially while shares are sold at 15 cents and 20 cents and their par value is one dollar. , Bear this in mind, we are headquar ters for all kinds of fancy toilet toap, perfumes, toilet water, face powder, massage face creams and etc. Every article guaranteed by us.
