ABETTER FUTURE
Cheer Up Boys, the Bottom Is Still in Place and Conditions
 Are Improving

Indications point almost unerringly to better state of affairs in the near future than those which have prevail ed during the past few months. Not that we are promised a recurrence of the abnormally high prices which in- duced the overproduction followed by the consequent revulsion and closing of the mines and smelters, but that the slow but gradual rise in copper prices, coupled with the exhaustion of stocks o n hand gives assurance of a proportionate demand and reasonable certainty that prices will go to figures that will afford profit to mines at all favorably situated for economical pro- duction. On this last score the cop per mines of the Ketchikan district, though not yet fully equipped for cheap production of the red metal, need have no fear, for reasons that have been time and again stated in these columns. Some of them can make fair margin of profit at pres ent prices, miniug and shipping their ores to the smelterS distance of near iy, if not quite, a thousand miles, and with copper at any where from 14 to lSc all of them that are deemed of any account as probable producers may be expected to resume operations with better promise, if not absolute cer- tanty. of profitable production.
 The belief and hope of The Miner in and for q hetterment pf conditions in the near future, so far at least as the Ketchikan Mining district is con- cerned, is inspired and confirmed by the constant inquiries that are being made by men of means for developed and undeveloped copper properties in this district who evidently have ar rived at the conclusion that now is the most favorable time in which to in- vest their capital in copper mining, Straws show which way the wind blows, and the people to whom The Miner refers being men of long expei- fence in buisness affairs, connected principally with the production and selling of copper, may naturally be as sumed to know the trend of affairs looking to future production and the probable market for the red metal. Whether this be so or not, certain it
 is and must he that any probable change in that respect " Il necessarily be for the better The Miner has ledge of number of bonds, and options for bonds on mining proper ties in the district, more or less prom.
 sing as future producers of the red metal, that have been consunmated within the past two or three weeks, and upon which the work of develop ment is provided for to be commenced
 in the very near future, These things, coupled with the assurance that two or three properties whose mismanage- mept led them into the hands of re- ceivers are likely to be disposed of to parties by whom they will be resusi- cated, while those which were in a fair stage of development and in which operations were suspended not because of any question or fear of capacity for production are reasonably certain to renew work at an early day, while still others that have continued at work are making preparations for an
 increase of production, fully iustities The Miners optimistic view of the situation.
