block, and new fittings, on the
carriage. They arc also putt

NOTHING BETTER
ANYWHERE
Residents of (his locality
have certainly plenty of ground
for congratulation on Ihe
weather of Ihe past few weeks.
It is hard to imagine even
Southern California as hrpng
any better. Taken all to
gether, with the exception of
Ihe high winds of early Jan
uary the past two months have
been remarkably fine and
promise an early spring for
this region. An early spring
means that business will be
pood during 11)13, a thing we
all desire. And while we are
on the matter of business, it
would be in order lo call (lie
attendtion of the Miner's read
ers to the unprecedented de
mand for residence properly
which has developed within Ihe
last month, in itself a mighty
good promise of prosperity and
a manifestation of the faith of
Ketchikan’s residents in Ihe
future of the town.
