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.

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.

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

pleasure shown when tho umpire com-

pelled the game to proceed after thirty
minutes time had been given, owing to
rain. During this time many of the
men from both clubs had changed their
ball suits and were not at all sntlsilptt
With Captain Tropp and the umpire
on forcing the game to continue. 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.

TURNED THE MULES LOOSE.
Striking Drivers at the West Ridge
Cause Commotion.
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.
