Banking Resources Increase Nearly
Million IN Three Months.

An increase Of almost million dol
lars in copper country bank resources
in the pas, three months is proof that
so economically sound are conditions I'm
that favored region that even six
months strike ana All the adverse pub
Hcity resulting thcrefrom cannot effect
it's prosperity. comments the Michigan
Investor.
In October, 1913. three months after
the beginning of the strike. bank state
ments showed the total resources To be
$1S,1679291O. a statement issued Feb
ruary 4 gave the total resources rs
Sl9I1O,937,9N, AN actual gain of $9iS,-
00S.SS. An even moro significant fea-
ture of the February report is the in
crease i'm deposits. In October aftor
thousands of dollars in savings had
been withdrawn by the conservative
element which left the copper country
rather than face a strike conducted
along Western Federation of Miners
lines, the total deposits were Sl401G-
561.3S. I'm February The total was $l5,
.05L235.23, a gain of S1o33,G61.95, and
this in spite of the fact that the strike
leaders claimed that from 1000 10 To-
0U0 men were out of employ meut and
suhsisting ON strike benefits of 81 To s.
the week during the period There
are thirteen banks i'm Houghton cOuu-
ty among them being some of the
strongest institutions in Michigan.
There never has been bank failure i'm
the history of the copper country and
never a time when the utmost conf
dcncc was not reposed i'm its mstitu-
tions. The manner i'm which they have
weathered the squall prccipitated by
the Western Federation of Miners
would Indicate that this trust was well
placed.
II is furthermore noteworthy that
