Show MINING PROMISES PROSPERITY The continued strength of the lead market and the almost certain cer-tain promise that the metal will command high prices for many years to come, is guarantee of maintained prosperity for the mining industry in-dustry of the Northwest. The same conditions prevails in regard to copper. Our domestic do-mestic consumption of this metal is increasing and the copper states are again feeling the benefit of renewed activity in their mines. What does this all signify?
