There was a country w edding out In
Ford county, Kan., the other day which
was attended by 300 guests, and the
following paragraph from the Dodge
City Reporter gives an idea of the
spread that was placed before them:
"One large beef had been slaughtered
and cooked, three hogs had been roast
ed, 75 pits and SO cakes had been baked,
riedly over the list, says the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle. One of the
first signatures he saw was "Mrs. Rus

"you have been to sec my wife? Very
good." With that he scratched out the
"s" In "Mrs." and added "and wife,"
making the signature read) "Mr. Rus

the list, ho remarked: "There, my gooil

It would seem that Lieut, llobson is
taking the salutes for which, equally
with the Merrimac exploit, he is fa

day he was showing' a party of Ameri

now lying in dock at his port. Said the
hero of the Merrimac, pointing to B
large hole in the casing of one of the
vessels: "That was done by one of out"
shells!" For a few moments his com'
ponioni gazed in admiration on the
havoc wrought by the projectile, then,
giving away to their feelings, they fell
on their knees and hysterically kissed
the jagged edges of the aperture.
the following day he wanted more
candy, and not having any more old
iron to sell, called n ragman into the
house and sold the cook stove. The
father is now searching for the ragman.

A scientist says: "The paleozoic

important, but a woman when she sees

whether it has five or 15 veins in the
wing. She will give a scream, draw her
skirts lightly about her and give the In

inexhaustible quantities of copper marl ami clay running from .' to 1" per cent,

The property is within 12 miles of a railroad and fuel and water are available.

From Report of Prof. Wm. DcRyec, former State Chemist of Texas.
" Such numerous o'.itir ips of Clipper ore have lieen traced over til.? summit and
sides of those tiillsj that out of 11,000 ftCTi of Un 1 which the company own, hardly
a 160 acre tract should be found without ore up in the surface.
A cr ill-COt to the depth of 13 feet w.is made upon the shell lead, and ten

CO per cent, of copper. (Worth $)(!0, net.)
It is easily smelted aud the strata in which it is found can also he more econom

From Report of Prof. V. I". Cummins, former Geologist of Texas.
" In order that I might see the condition of this lode after thii amount
of work had been done, I employed a few hands and cleaned out the tnimels
when I found u lode of copper. This is the dlsulpuate of copper and will yield as
high as 70 per cent, of copper. 1 drove the tunnel twenty feet further into the.
bill) following the lode. When 1 had gone ahout twelve feet I struck another
lode of copper eighteen inches east and six inches below the second lode. In three
feet more we struck unotlier lode below the second lode. Immediately below the
lower sandstone is a stratum of cupriferous marl schists extending the entire width
of the tunnel, lay four feet, and is probably much wider. This marl will yield
about 15 percent, of copper."

From Report of George F. Kendall, Mining Engineer.
" It is s self-evident fact dcducihle from every report that on this property
large bodies of copper ore exists and that hundreds of tons have been shipped of
high grade ore.
That a deposit of this nature can at a very small expense be made to yield
handsome profits, from all existing reports, appears not only likely hut certain."
From Report of Francis Arthur Read, Superintendent.
" This property ii all right and there is all the copper you want here. I think it
is the best in Texas and it seems to have been selected ss such for copper. It is

FROM REPORT OF T. BURTON EVERETT, MINING ENGINEER AND EXPERT.
Archer Citt, Texas, May 8, 18!)9.
Hon. Kmfky H. Low, President, and others, Boston, Mass. : Gentlemen : There is abundant evidence of rich copper deposits, not only at the mines already
opened, but 111 various other parts of the property, and it is my opinion that this will prove to he one of the exceptionally rich copper-bearing fields of the United States,
The ores found in these deposits are immensely rich in copper values and the cupuriferous clays that are alio found here in immense beds, while nut us rich,
will undoubtedly prove of great value on account of the cheapness with which they can be mined and reduced,
The mines nre accessible at every point; the cost of mining will be very small, as the ore is not in hard formation; and there is no deep work;
I hiive examined the various reports made by others, and confirm them.
As far ns I have been able to investigate, aud I have done so carefully, I am of the opinion it is one of the richest copper fields in the country.
Very respectfully yours, T. BURTON BVEBETT, M. E.
Mr. 0, H. Savage. Mine Examiner of Butte, Montana, after gaining sample of ore from the property, says : "The ore is the richest in the countvy. It' you have the
field you can pay $1,000,000 dividends per year."
Major K. M. Spaulding, of Huston, and C. F. Crosby, Esq., of Lowell, Mass., who returned June ICth from an examination of the" property nn behalf of the Com
pany's stockholders and intending investors, report that they found the property as represented and confirm the expert reports. They visited and examined the nine
mines and explored the entire property.
The Company is thoroughly organized with substantial business men in the management. It has such extensive acreage of land, rich in
copper, and so easily and cheaply mined and converted, that dividends can be earned and paid during the current year. Now U the time to make a
safe and profitable investment, and those who take advantage of this opportunity to buy stock at the low price offered will reap the beneft.
