PREPARING FOR
PROSPERITY WAVE

1t certainly looks unreasonable to
drift with the tide when there is so
much to be done, ever in these seem
ipgly depressed periods, in getting
ready to take advantage Of the great
wave of prosperity that is sure to
spread over this whole country at no
distant day. There is hardly a bust
ness man but that is free to admit
that when the European war is over,
or that when some desisive result
has been achieved by n side or the
other, there will be a great revival of
business throughout the length and
every industry will be greatly stimu-
lated, and that the foreign demand
for almost everything we can produce
win exceed the supply.
Knowing sf this demand, therefore.
and of its undeniable certainty, it
seems the height of foolishness not TO
make preparation to meet it. Pre-
paredness. when the great and mo-
mentous time comes to realize on our
almost unparalleled resources, will
mean fortunes for those who have had
the foresight TO place themselves in a
position so that they might take ear
~ advantage of changed conditions;
and, the time to begin getting ready
for this change is now.
The condition of one industry has
an influence on another, directly or
indirectly. for all, to a certain extent,
are dependent upon each other. Con
ditions in the east are slowly improv-
ing. and this improvement is certain
~ having a beneficial effect upon the
west. In the east many manufactur-
ing concerns are now working over
time in order to FIJI foreign orders.
In filing many of these orders much
material issued that is produced in
the west. and this is especially true of
copper. and the surplus supply of this
metal is being rapidly absorbed. The
same can be said of zinc and, when
conditions have become more settled,
there will undoubtedly be more de-
mand for silver and lead.
As a matter of fact, in order to
meet excessive demands, it cannot be
very long before there will be a
ready market. at advancing prices, for
almost every metal produced in the
mining regions, and it is believed
that this demand will be overwhelm-
ing and that TO meet it wonderful ac-
will be chronieled in every
mining camp and district in the Unit
ed States.
Viewed from this standpoint, why
would it not look like good policy and
god business to begin now to get
ready to met this demand? IF a man
has a good looking copper prospect,
why not begin now to place it in con
dition so that it can be placed ON a
producing basis almost at a moment s

erty, that coal mine, that asphalt de-
posit, or that fine showing of mineral
