times ARE BETTER
FACTORIES RESUMING and
MONEY is EASIER.
Iron and Steel Trade Greatly Improved
Price Of Copper Goes Up Since
Butte Mines Reopen-s Stocks Again
Advancing-No More Calls for Short
Loans-Foreign Money Invested.

New York, March 1.-THE prevail
ing opinion reflected In the financial
district last week was of increased
confidence that the condition OF affairs
was mening. Evidences were not uni
versal that contraction had run its
course, but from fields that were con-
sidered most significant the signs of
betterment were accepted as testi-
mony that the situation was shaping
toward improvement. Figures compil-
ed by the American Railway associa-
ton of the number of idle freight cars
showed progressive reduction Of the
last two fortnightly returns. These
figures were highly influential in shap-
ing opinion on the general situation
Scattering reports of resumption of
work by factories which had suspend
ed or largely reduced operations dur
ing the depth of the depression, al
though mixed with evidence of fur
Their curtailment in other directions,
were cheering factor. Especially in
the iron and steel trade the reports of
creopenings were notable. The ad-
vance in the price of copper, which
had been falling since the decision to
reopen the Butte copper producing
mines gave some reinsurance to the
confidence in. improvement in that
trade, which was expressed in the re-
opening in Montana. The declining
money rates here and abroad were an
element in the situation, and the dis
crepancy in money rates here and in
Europe induced some investment of
foreign funds in New York This was
mostly confined to high-grade mort
gage securities and to some takings of
mercantile paper.
The easing of the money market and
the stirring of activity in stocks
brought into consideration the subject
of financial needs of the great corpor-
atoms which remain unsupplied and
which insure attempts to float new
issues of securities in the near future.
The market for existing bonds was
studied to discern a reflection of this
improvement in the general bond mar
ket, but with results somewhat disap-
pointing The bond market lacked
breadth and the prices at which sea-
soned bonds are still selling do not
make a propitious condition for the
offering of new securities. The adj
vance in stocks was made feasib by
the evident completion of liquidation
and a consequent scarcity of stocks
Offering which removed obstacles to
the operations for an advance. An
obstinate short interest also was left
at disadvantage by the cessation OF
liquidation, and the necessities of this
element offered basis for raising
prices with assurance that some de.
mand would be met on which to resell
at profit.

A GOLD FACTOR.

Now comes brilliant scientist, a man of repute, of recorded achieve. ments, and declares he can, and will, manufacture gold of fnness exceed of Sl00, GOO, GOO year, at cost of ten cents on the dollar. He has discover ed the secret of transmutation and pro poses to market it at an enor nous profit and to give his Uncle Samuel the first go at it.
 No man of today, who is abreast of the progress of the hour. is at all sur- pri ,ed; this thing has been expected for thousands ot years and that it comes now, in the common course of big and marvellous developments along scientific lines, causes no ripple of amazement, but takes its fixed ard leading place in the commercial pro- gram, along with air brakes, electric lighted channel depths, wireless tel egraphy and telephony, etc.. etc. and dS lUUg dS llic StCiCU IS lii- violably and u e Fl ocesses remain un- patened as at present, it will be the arch. triumph of the day. Once the bars are down, however, gold will rank with copper and new standards will rise with radium perhaps as the crux.
 Ten-cent gold has long been a cher ished dream Of the editorial fratern- ty: We have yearned for it with an earnesstness raralleled only by the hopelessness of the dream and now the blame stuff comes hurting along with commercial tag on it and all the prescriptive barriers known to the law and the obnox iOus cupidity of its discoverer and exploitefs: but disap- pointment is our daily portion, and philosophy cur refuge; hence, while passively regretting our seclusion from the new field and its Easy street , program, we rejoice in the marvel and wish it limitless success, even lo the undoing of Wall street. -EX.

A BRAVE MANS DEATH.

Confirmation of the death of Will jam $. Alliott and A. St. George Bowly, who were reported as killed in landslide which occurred at tf 6 mine on Spruce Creek on March .5ti. last, was received in the city yester- day by Walter Alliott, the iather oi one of the victims of the fatality, at his home at Oak Bay Avenue, who is at the mine and was present at the time of the accident, says the Victoria
 lines of the 10th inst. The letter says that communication of the fatal ity has been sent to the relatives of :. Mr.. -Bowly in England, asking that his body may be buried beside that of his comrade with whom he died in tr! ing to save his life. The heroic action of William $. Alliott is told in his brother's letter as follows:
 Twill died game, he could easily nave got out in time. but for the fact that BoWly's feet were caught in the tagging. and Will stayed to help him out. There were three of them in the
 zee of the drift and they had the car filled for the last time that day, and were joking a little before leaving of work, when the cave-in occurred with out any warning at all.
 "Will's last words were to the Swede: Andrew, are you hurt?' and then to Bowly, old man, are you hurt?' At the time there was n hole large enough for a man to get through, and Anderson crawled out, then he gave Will a candle and Will started to dig Bowly's feet out, then another slough occurred and cut everything off. If Will could have seen the boys working to get him out, I know ne would have been happy, for the drift was taking weight steadily for day afterwards, and every man who was working in it was risking his life. l am glad the Swede got out, so that we know Will gave his life to help Ed. and I know he would rather be where he is than to have left him to die alone.

Two patties of nen will go to work at once in Alaska an advance man having already been sent to Ka- talla where the company has con- tract guaranteeing business of at least S20o per month for a year. The con- pany has just completed one of the largest stations on the coast at Vest port, at the entrance of Grays Harbor. by means of which vessels can be kept in close communication every mile of the voyage between Puget Sound and San Francisco. The company now has operating stations at Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver. A Aberdeen, Westport, As toria. Portland and several California points and has started the construction of several others in the coast states. With the chain of stations in Alaska, no point will be so isolated that it will be out of the reach of this mar vicious invention. The steamer Hum boldt is already equipped with a wireless outfit and Captain Baughman recently told the Miner that he had frequently picked up messages from points 200 miles distant. The in- stallation of station at Ketchikan will undoubtedly lead to the equip ment of all the large steamers at an early date, which will end forever the anxiety and uncertainty always felt for the arrival of steamers frum the south. and will prove of almost price, less value to the business interests as well as to the comfort of the travel 1 ipp public
