CONDITIONS ABOUT NORMAL.
w. r. Thompson Is An optmist-
Banking Business is Good.

w. X. Thompson, vice president and
general manager OF the First National
bank Of Hancock, declares conditions
in the copper country are normal. At
least, Mr.. Thompson states. they are
better now than at this time last year.
He also announces that banking BUSH
ness has not been affected TO any
great extent by the European war.
Some pessimistic people are seen
daily with castdown faces and re-
marking about the reverse conditions, "
said Mr. Thompson. but cannot see
but what times right now are better
than they have been for some years.
There are more men employed at the
Quincy mine than last year and that is
surely an indication of good times. on
the range towns conditions are not Of
the best but that does not materially
effect this part of the district.
I'm my opinion. the coming winter
should not be hard one. Conditions
should be better soon and | think that
they will be. The stock market will
soon pick up and when it does things
will boom in this district as well as the
entire United States"
