which was promptly telegraphed TO
Salt Lake by the Helena men, VINO nave
had paid spies logging Mr.. Han con-
tinually for the past month.
On Sunday Superintendent Han re-
ceived a telegram from the walker
Bros. calling him to Salt Lake anu ne
Immediately answered the call.
Yesterday afternoon he met the LUZ.
board of directors and there is no douot
that the meeting was a very lively one.
Mr.. Hall very properly and very IN
dienantIv resented their interference IN
his personal matters, and refused 10 re-
cede one iota from his position. Wnen
thew persisted in their insulting 1mpi-
dence he rendered them his resignation
to take effect at once. Realizing Iull
WE'LL however, that he was too vafuaole
a man to lose, the directors refused 10
accept the proffered resignation anu
changed the subject.
Then came his resignation as the re-
suit of certain publications in the Hell
ena organ of Butte.
He is a man of the most sterling in
tegrity, his staunch patriotism has been
frequently commented upon, and his
record in Montana is an open book, OF
which he can well he proud. He has
befriended hundreds of people, through
his natural kind heartedness, but he
has never paraded his graces before the
community.
It is only natural that a man Of such
strong character should have a few
enemies but they are without exception
men whose enmity alone is sufficient to
further elevate his standing in the COM
munity.
He has always taken the greatest In
terest in the little town of Walkerville,
which was incorporated through his
efforts, and the people there almost re-
we're him. When the slump in silver
came last year he persuaded the Walk
err Bros to operate the Alice almost at
loss, and it is this that has kept the
little city alive and many families from
want. In politics he is strong Repub-
lican, and he is recognized as one OF the
prominent men of that party.
In 1892 he was a presidential elector
on the Republican ticket He mas been
a remarkably faithful employee, and the
Alice company will probably never find
his equal His only thought was the
Alice company and their interests here
could not have been in more trust
worthy hands. Had he not been so 10y
al to the company and so solicitous of
their interests he could have been a
millionaire today.
Captain Hall came to Butte to as
sumo his present position nearly fifteen
years ago, and for seven years prior to
that time he had had charge of the
Walker Bros mines at Big and Little
Cottonwood. Utah.
In this connection It is a, significant
fact that from the day he left Cotton
wood the town commenced going dowr
and it is now nothing more than an al
most deserted hamlet. He developed
the Alice from the 500 to the 1900, its
present depth, and its thirty miles of
underground workings are as familiar
to him as the streets of the little CITY
which he has assisted so materially in
building up. He developed the Magma
Charta, Blue Wing, Rising Sun and
other Alice properties, from the surface.
and they are all recognized as being
among the best mines in the camp. 1t
was through his vigilance that the
Hawkeye, the richest of the Alice prop
critics, was saved in 1882
