inoug the best i f the letters written
v the Kansas I oys from the seat of
war are those contributed to the Mln-
; '. lis Messenger by Scrgt, Kin::. In
jo. of them he writes; "A most dis
. ii lug accident befel) a boat loud of
fgt rotes not long slr.ee. It was In
thl w Ise: The monitor Mooadnock lies
jttsf it Malabon and tit night lights up
ll i v. bole country with i1s searchlight.
The wild men did not exactly admire
Liu method ol competing with the sun,
so 1 thought themselves a plan to cap
rare the floating fort. Accordingly a
rowboat was procured and speed
ly filled with an aggregation of these
patriots, Having approached within u
' . .1 yards the barbarians dls
hi rged a volley of steel-tipped arrows
si ' waited patiently in the hope of see
i the ship sink. The Monad nock Sla
sh! rged a three inch gun in return. It
. ared that some i the natives were
injured."
of It !::is even L'one to the extent of
charging that the American heiress
who contracts a foreign marriage
prove:- herself disloyal to her country,
and sells her birthright for d title.
There are Instances in plenty, says the
llaJtluiore .News, to show that our
Ami rican girls do not lose their senses
when they marry foreigners in the way
that some people would have us be
lieve. Nobody can blame the titled for
eigners, t:t least, for carrying our
American rirls away. Tt is a wonder,
in ie, of the constant increase of for
eign travel, that there arc not more
couquei ts of tlii.- kind than there art'.
While there is no doubt that many
matches lietwcen American pirls and
foreign noblemen have reflected no
credit ..:i either side, it is worth while
to not. that there is, in this us in other
thii.f:., plenty of room for discrimination.

Copper Shares
Safest Investment, Largest Dividends.
A portion of the full paid and non-sseaahlc capital stock of the Boiton k Texsi
CopjHT Company ll offered for isle at Five Dollars per ilisre (par $10 for Treatury
purpoaei), end i recommended ai a tafe and highly promising Investment
Tne company control twelve thousand acre of rich copper land in North Texas
which Is also valuable for farming snd town ilte purposes. The tract ia tonic 10
milea loin; and at.out three inilei wide. It i equivalent ill size to five hundred ordi
nary mining claims,
The property has been developed sufficiently to beein producing at once, large
amounts of thrf richest copper ore (40 to 70 per ceut.; taken out and marketed, aud
inexhaustible quantities of copper marl and clay running from 3 to 15 per cent,
copper found. (Calamtt and Hecla an 1 other great dividend payers are working on
1 to 3 per cent, ore.)
The property ii within 12 miles of a railroad and fuel and water arc available.
The ores and marl arc on the surface ami a few feet down, and can be mined snd
converted into copper chesper than nny other deposits in Ameries. Copper will be
mdneed on the ground and a plant of moderate cost will treat 300 to 500 tons of
ore and material per day, and according to engineers' estimates earn 03,000 to 85,000
per day net, with copper at 15 cts per pound. It is now li cts. per pound.
The property has a historical reputation and a record in the Slate Geological
Reports. It bal been examined and reported upon by the highest engineering, geo
logical and expert auihorities, and its merit and value are established beyond all
question. It is not an experiment, nor its value speculative, tliev are proven and
demonstrated.
From Report of Prof. Wm. DeRyee, former State Cbctnisl of Texas.
" Suth numeroui outcrops of copper ow have been traced over tin) summit and
side' of tlae bills that out of 12,000 ucr."i of land winch the compa iy own, hardly
a 160 acre tract should be found without ore upon the surf:irc
A cr"-cut to the depth of 15 feet was made upon the Isbell lead, and ten
hours' work resulted in the raisin),' of 0,000 lbs. of rio'i copper ore. averaging about
60 per cent, of copper. (Worth d.'il'.O, net.)
It is eai!v smelted and the strata ia which it is found can also ! more econom
leally excavated than other in which copper ores occur.''
Prom Report of Prof. W. i:. Cummins, former Geologist of Texas.
S in order that I might see the condition of this lode after this nniount
of work had boeu done, I employed a few bunds and cleaned out the tunnels
when I fonnd a lode of copper This Ll the disulphste of copper and will yield as
blah a "0 tier cent, of copper. I drove the tunnel twenty feet further into the
hill, following the lode. When 1 had gone about twelve feet I struck another
lode of copper eighteen inches east and six inches below the second lode. In three
feet more we struck another lode below the second lode. Immediately below the
lower sandstone is a stratum Ol cupriferous marl schists extending the entire width
of the tunnel, say four feet, slid is probably much wider. This marl will yield
about 16 ier cent, of Copper."
From Report of Prof, (iuitave Westtnan, Mining F.njineer.
1 beg to express, my entire satisfaction with and confidence in the report
made by Prof. W. K. Cummins
-s 1 only had to remove one foot of earth from the surface on the three spots
already mentioned in order to iind large deposits bedded into the cluy. After
w ashing, this clay was found to contain 16 per cent, of copper ore of same value as
above. These ores could of course be taken out and made available at S relatively
email expense.
The cupriferous marl situated below the sandstone, containing 15 per cent
of copper, can he estimated worth at tbs place at lesst $10.00 per too, net."
From Report of Oeorge F. Rendall, Mining Engineer.
" It Is a self-evident fsct deduclble from every report thst on this property
large bodies of copper ore exists and thst hundreds of tons have been shipped of
high grade ore.
That a deposit of this nature can at s very small expense be made to yielj
handsome profits, from all existing reports, appears not only likely but certain."
From Report of Francis Arthur Reall, Superintendent.
" This property ia 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 as f uch for copper. It is
near the top of a water shed and the bills crop out here. I think there is oil here
because there is coal. Oil has been found at Corsicana. The property is adapted
to genera! farming purposes which seems to be very profitable here nud a town
could be laid out on it and a railroad built to Dundee, 12 miles, to great advantage "
The Oreat Boom lo Copper .Shares.
Copper mining haB proved the safest nnd most profitable industry in America,
and the largest and most conservative capitalists in the world have recently become
large investors in copper stock
This company can produce copper as cheaply as any In I be world. It is tap:
tallzed the lowest of any in proportion to its acreage, and .it the price of copper
bearing land In Michigan (400 per acre) containing a much lost per Cent, of copper,
has a large value in excess of its low capitalization (98,800,000.)
Receipts for ore and assays by the leading chemists and assuyers in the country
are on tile in the company's offices.
The officers an! directors of the company are men of the highest standing and
business capacity, and include :
Hon. Emery M. Low, manufacturer, mayor of Brockton, Mass., President,
George W. Kusscll, Esq., paper manufacturer, Boston, Vice-President.
Maj. P. M. Spanldine, 2d Vice-President.
Col. Edward B. Robins, Boston, Treasurer.

Hon. Jas. W. Bennett, Fx-President Erie Telephone Co.
Only a limited amount of the stock will be sold at the price of $5 O0 per share
and those wishine to secure shares should act at once. As state I the stock is full
paid and non-assessable. As soon as this allottiueut is sold the price will be
advanced.
Amount of land, quantity and quality of ore, cheapness of mining and treat
ment, nearness to transportation, favorable climate for continuous work the year
around, the increasing demand and profit in producing copper considered, the
Boston and Texas Copper Company possesses unequalled advantages and affords th
best kin 1 of an investment. It can easily earn 50 per cent per year on the price st
which the stock is here offered.

FROM REPORT OF T. BURTON EVERETT, MINING ENGINEER AND EXPERT.
Ahciirr Citt. Texas, May .1, 1809.
President, and others, Boston, Mass. i Gentlemen : There is abundant evidence of rich copper deposits, not only si the mines already
r parts of the property, and it is inv opinion that this will prove to be one of the exceptionally rich copper-bearing tlelds ot tne l mtcu Mates,
these deposits are immense!;- rich in copper values and the cuperiferous clays that arc also found here in immense beds, while not as rich,
will undoubtedly piOVe 'eat value on account of the cheapness with which they can lie mined and remiceu.
The mines are accessible at every point; the cost of mining will be very small, as the oro is not in hard formation; and there is no deep work.
I have examined the various reports made by others, ami confirm them. .
As far as 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 m the couiitry.
Very respectfully yours, '"ul""'' ,hmii,m.
Mr. 0. H. Savage. Mine Examiner of Butte, Montana, after gaining sample of ore from the property, says i "The ore is the richest in the country. If you have the
field you can pay l ,000,000 dividends per year. '
Major F M Spaulding, of Boston, and C. F. Crosby, Esq.. of Lowell, Mass., who returned June lfith from an examination of the property on bl half of the Com
pany's stockholders and intending investors, report that they foaud the property as represented and confirm the expert reports. 1 hey visited and examined the tunc
mines and explored the entire property.
The Company is thoroughly organized with substantial business men in the management. It lias such extensive acreags oi land, rich In
copper, and so easily and cheaply mined and converted, that dividends can be earned and paid during the current year. Now is 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.
