as three and four hundred per cent has to our knowledge already been realized on some of these investments the ameri cans were the first to make a specialty of copper stocks they knew what they were doing for the reason is not far to seek every copper mine in the world is at present taxed to its utmost limit to meet the growing demand for copper for electrical purposes the reserve stores of copper are being depleted until it pays no longer to use copper in some eastern countries as a coin copper haft gone up in price from 9 lo 18 cents the supply of copper from the mines of the world today is only abou 60 p ce nt of the consumption that is the reason why fmaciers have their engineers searching the four quarters of the globe for copper mines and that is the reason the shares in
