THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1899. FINANCIAL. The Copper Combine Embraces a number of mines that have made their owners wealthy for tho Investment of a few hundred dollurs. Tako the companies to bo covered Into the Combine, for Instance, and noto tho difference between their original capitalization and their cash mar ket vnlun Anrll 28: Total capital- Market Anaconda Arcadian Boston & Montana Butte & Boston Kim niver Isle Itoyalc Parrot Utah Consolidated Totals $IS,203,600 $200,074,575 Hero Is an nctual cash train of mora than 300 per cent, on the par value of these stocks: and. even iillowlnsr that tlicv were originally Issued at 60 per cent, of their pur value (which Is mora than some of them brought), a gain of 6i)0 per cent, on tho money paid Into the treasuries. Taking the Anaconda from the nbove list, wo have for the seven remain ing companies a capitalization of $18,703,500.00, with a cash market value of $129,874,575.00, or more than 600 per cent. Increase on the par, 1,000 per cent. Increase over tho real amount Invested. Do tho facts corroborate our statement as to "Who Makes Money In Cop per?" "Thoie IS money In copper yes. nut WHO MAKES IT? "NOT tho man who buys after others have demonstrated the rlchncsi of a property but ho who goes In BKFORK Its value has become a matter of universal knowledge." The Investor of today who uses his Judgment, and puts his money Into still undeveloped but good properties will duplicate the success of his prede cessors and MAKE MONEY. We believe that the Vol Verde Copper Co., Ltd,, offeis Just this oppor tunttv. That we have the metal In the ground Is as sure as Investigation tan make It; we have the cash to get It out of the ground and Into market able shape to n certain extent; we believe that with more cash we can make inure than twice as much profit; and thot the metal out of the ground will bring far nunc than we have calculated on Is as certain as the continuance of manufacture and war. All estimates as to profits of this company having been based on 12-cent i-'ipper, th'1 following Item from the Boston Journal of April 28 Is of Interest here: "The copper market continues surprisingly firm, with the demand still wry heavy. Consumers arc being forced by their steadily Increaslns busl npxs to coinc Into the market, although they do not tako at all kindly to the proem condition Some sales of Lake Ingot for immediate delivery are rcprnti'd at l'J'i and 19 cents, but the supply Is extremely limited. Future di liveries aie held by the producers very firm at 19 cents, and some producers nri- unwilling to make contracts evn at that figure. The best selected cop per In tendon Is up 2 per ton to .1180, which Is equivalent to about 17.35 crnts per pound here The companies now embraced In the Copper Trust originally offered to the public no moie than the VAL VEUDE COPPER CO. does today. They hud good piopei ties; so have we, the full value of these properties had to 1 1. lr-tci mined: we aic proving ours dally; their exploitation work was then developing richer and licher bodies of ore; so Is ours today. The veins In the Vnl Verdi' mines aie widening and showing better ore as the shafts deepen, and the most recent work has resulted In such satisfactory evidence of the value of the mines that the directors have decided to extend opera tions into tho adjoining claims. Theie are fourteen of these claims In nil. part lying between tho Vnl Verde nnd Lombard-Ooode mines, tho remainder on tho United Verde side of our piopertles (see map In prospectus Just Issued), On seven of these, viz., Madonna, Madonna No. 2, Madonna No. 3, Morris No. 2, Glance No. 2, Chi cago nnd Echo, exploration work will begin at once nnd thorough develop ment will be prosecuted with a large additional force of men. As the development from these new mines will undoubtedly Increase the output from the properties, the smelter capacity will also be enlarged. These plans have been presented by the general manager, and tho direct ors believing them fully warranted by tho results from the operations thus far have decided to adopt them and put them Into Immediate effect. This will enable the company to get a larger amount of Its product Into the mar ket and ut an earlier day. thus forwarding by several months the payment of dividends to shareholders. The Vnl Verde Copper Company. Ltd., Is organized with the extremely low capitalization of 120,000 shares, at $5.00 per share par value, 70,000 shares be ing the payment for the properties and 50,000 reserved to provide the neces sary working capital. Of these latter a limited issue la now offered at par, $5.00 per share, the proceeds being devoted to the purposes above set forth. This figure Is not, however, guaranteed for any specific number of shares, as the property is constantly becoming more valuable, and the directors ex pressly reserve tho right to advance the price without notice. Success In mining depends as entirely on management as In any other business. A small mine, honestly and practically handled, will prove a payer where even a licher property, mismanaged, tums out a loss. The Vnl Vordo Co., with its excellent group of mines, has also the ndantago of a manage ment of the most subbtnutlal character, and tho combination cannot fall. George L. 1'pshur, Piesident, is highly Indorsed by such men as J. W. Maekay, the Comstock Bonanza king and owner of tho Postal Telegraph Cable Company; by C. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company: by John J. Valentine, president of the IWells-Fargo Banking nnd Express Company, and by J. B. Haggln, owner of the famous Homestake, Ontario, Anaconda and other valuable mines. Wo have for sale a block of tho VAL VERDE COPPER COMPANY'S Stock nt $5.00 par value. The company proposes to list this stock on tho Boston Stock Exchango in a short tirao at $7.50. Should this property prove to bo what its owners believe a few hundred sharos will return many thousands of dollars to purchasers. Call at our office and see samples of ore from tho VAL VERDE MINES. CARRINGTON & CUSACK, STERLING B. SMITH, MANAGER. 410 Connell Building, Scranton, Pa. SCHOOL GAME AT THE PARK. Lackawanna Wins First of the Series. About 200 students witnessed the de feat of the Scranton High School baso ball team by the School of Lackawan na at the Athletic park yesterday af ternoon by the score of 7 to 5. The game was hotly contested throughout. Both teams were evenly matched and displayed good work as a whole. For the Lackawanna team Carson, the third baseman, played a brilliant game. For the High school, Harrington pitched an excellent game, aiis con trol was pet feet and his head steady. Walsh for tho Lackawanna team pltch pd a fair game, but his control and hpad work was poor, Mahon, the Lackawanna shortstop, was very un certain. His exhibition with ground eis was poor. Cutcher Cooney, for the Lackawanna team, played a bril liant game. For tho High school, Captain Tropp, first base: Corbott, center field; Phil lips, catcher, and Gallagher, shortstop, were the star players. The game was called at 3.30 and did not end until 7.03, being then called on account of daik ness. There was a great deal of dis pleasure shown when tho umpire com- FINANCIAL. LaBAR & FULLER BROKERS.

At the ninth Inning tho game was called owing to darkness. These teams will meet for a series of three games. When and where the other games will be played is not yet known. The High School team, as a whole and as a working team, was superior to tho Lackawanna boys. With a lew days of hard work tho High School boys will be In the pink of condition. Tho spectators were well pleased with the showing of their respective teams. The decisions were fair and the game was won fairly from the ingh School. There Is to be some changes In each fam. What these changes are to be is hard to ascertain. VERY TAME OBSERVANCE. Dewey Day Not Marked by Any Par ticular Commemoration. Scranton did not do anything In par ticular to commemorate Dewey day. Flags floated from all the many masts throughout the city and In front of many business places nnd dwellings, but beyond this there was nothing to Indicate that It was a holiday. Business was not stopped nnd neither the banks nor public offices closed. ' ---. . The Reason. She (with cheek on his shouldcn "Don't move. Fred! This Is to nice.

Sixty boys, employed as drivers, runners, helpers and pato tenders nt the West Ridge colliery, Just off North Main avenue, near Oreen BIdge street, went on strike yesterday morning', be cause Foreman Kinsley discharged two of their number who waited upon him as a committee to ask that operations begin at 7 o'clock instead of 8 o'clock. Tho drivers turned their mules loose and thereby caused no end of excite ment In the neighborhood. The mules were finally captured. The strikers say thes- will not lesume work until their discharged commlt teo Is reinstated. The breaker boys at the same place struck last week, but returned to work Saturday without their demands being1 allowed. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. By Associated Press. New York, May . Tho stock market today suffered severely from general) liquidation and confident operations by tho bears. Tho passage of the Ford fran chise bill early unsettled the market be cuuso of the weakness displayed by the stocks most concerned. By Carrlngton & Cusack. New York, May 1. The local traction slocks opened weak with a sharp decllno of 10 points in Metropolitan and smaller declines in Manhattan und Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Tho railroad list was steady with Northern Pacific exccpttlon ally Htroi.g. After tho opening, insldo buying in Federal Steol and American Steel and Wlro advanced these special ties 2 per cent., but nt the extreme high er point, there, was heavy selling of tho traction stocks, and bomc Inilde liquida tion in tho Coalers and railroad list really causing a setback below opening prices. Tho weakness In the traction stocks caused a good deal of uneasiness awl there was quite freo liquidation which about 1 o'clock caused a sharp do cllno all along tho line. There was ab solutely no news to account for tho weakness of tho market and the break was due to lack of cutslde interest and quite fren celling by commission house, whoso clients have become disgusted, with the waiting tcctlcs the market has displayed for tho last two weeks. While tho market is in one sense very strong, yet in another there is an element of weakness in It. The Insiders while pre dicting much higher prices, havo liqui dated quite freely, and the continued uncertainty as to tho winter nnd spring wheat crop have caused tho Grangers and Western Trunk lines to be sold bv holders who have been waiting for higher prices. Continental Tobacco and Amer- icen Tobacco, both sold off sharply on re ports that Colonel Whltmore, of Leggett & Meyers, intends to start an independ ent tobacco plant. The rumor served to assist the bears and to shake out some weak stocks which was practically all that was expected of it. Tha echoes of the Ford bill are beginning to havo their effect, nnd whllo it may bo unconstitu tional as a law. It ccrtulnly has enoimh merit In It to make It extremely doubt ful as to whether the legislation is not popular. Certainly as an Indication of what we can expect of hcstlle legisla tion towards vested interests. It is serv ing an apt Illustration. The rlose was Irregular nnd Inclined to weakness.
