GENERAL MANAGER CALLAwAY.
On the return of the party to- the Me.
Vernon, a representative of THE MINER had
the benefit of an interview with General
Manager Galloway. Mr.. Galloway has held
his present responsible position for about
a year, and the discharge of his official du-
ties has been alike satisfactory to the dl-
rectory and the patrons of the great rail
way. He came west from Chicago, where
for many wears he was the General Mama
ger OF the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railway.
He still has long career Of usefulness be-
fore him.
ANACONDA IN THE LEAD.
'sWe were at Anaconda all day." said Mr.
Galloway, "and the magnitude OF the works
there astonished our party. The Ana
conda smelter is undoubtedly the largest in
the world, and no one can estimate ats fll-
ture magnitude and Importance
''How long will you remain in Butte, and
what is your programme for the future"
To-day we will visit all the mines and
smelters in and about Butte. Our party
will be accompanied by Mr.. Word, one OF
the attorneys Of the road, j. b. Haggin,
Marcus DAILY, w. A. Clark and others inter-
ested in your mines. We will leave Butte
tomorrow evening by special train and
stay over night at Helena. Thence we will
90 home by the way OF St. Paul.
DO you intend to build the surveyed
branches from Anaconda to Philpsburg
and Beaver Head?"
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, JR.
II will introduce you to gentleman who
is in better position to answer your ques-
tion," replied Mr.. Galloway, and he pre-
sented the reporter to Mr.. Adams, who was
quietly seated near by. Mr.. Adams is a
man OF about so years of age, somewhat
dignifed, but exceedingly courteous. His
bearing is that OF successful, pleased with
all-the-world man of business. Few men in
America have more reason to be proud OF
family and position than has Mr.. Adams.
He is the grandson of one President of the
United States and the great-grandson OF
another-John Adams, that great and
glorious civic hero of the Revolutionary
war And still in the full vigOr OF manhood,
he is at the head OF one OF the most extern
sive and important railway systems in the
world. The newspaper man was very
kindly received.
BUTTE TO HAVE MORE RAILWAYS.
''You have fine and most prominent
camp in Butte" replied Mr.. Adams. 81
have visited you on several occasions and
on each visit depart with more confidence
in Butte. You certainly have Il most brill
liant future"
"But how about the proposed branches
from Anaconda?" asked THE MINER man.
ave shall certainly build the branches as
soon as circumstances will permit. Our
road must have the required funds to do
the work, and then we must be satisfied
that they will be paying roads when COM
pleted. The policy OF the directory OF the
Union Pacific road is to put out feeders in
all directions where a paying traffic is prom
sed''
"You evidently look upon Butte as one
OF your best customers"
BUTTE THE CHAMPION CAMP.
81 regard Butte and Anaconda as very
important points on our line of railway.
o1r 1,y,
gushing, Butte is very prosperous. I
want to see all sections OF Montana pros
porous, for we are sure to share in that
prosperity. [ want to see the people OF
Montana develop the immense hidden
wealth of the Territory just as fast as they
cam"
OREGON AND WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
SIS the report true that your trip to Ore
gon was to capture the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company's plant?'
'"There is no foundation for the rumor.
It is true the Union Pacific wants to have
reliable means of access to the Pacific coast
something we can depend on. The object
of my visit to Oregon was to inform myself
as to the resources of Oregon and Washing
ton Territories so that could talk intelli-
gently on the Importance OF an outlet to
the Pacific coast.
BUSINESS DULL ALL AROUND.
"How did you find business in your trip
across the continent?'
"Dull, everywheren'
"Do you anticipate revival this fall?'
81 cannot undertake to 60 so far-to
foresee the future. The present is undoubt-
edly one OF general depression and
stagnation. There is a business gloom
everywhere-except in Butte"
81 cOncur ~ said General MANAGE Cal
away, with earnestness, ''for Butte is GER
lainly the first live camp we have struck
our travels"
