The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-07-07

invested in copper properties in Silver
Bow county tonight" continued Mr..
DAILY, than I ever in my life had, prior
to the first day of July. 1899. / am well
satisfied with my investments don't
know where in the world could do
better or nearly 80 well. I am one of
the men who has mistaken faith in the
future of these properties. / am sorry
that Butte has so many men who DO
their business, not mine. My personal
investments and personal interests are
larger right within these few miles
of Butte than they We're when I was
an owner in the Anaconda properties.
The sale of those properties was a
handsome one-they were worth every
cent of it. I went in, dollar for dollar,
on the same basis with those Or
ganized the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany. l am satisfied, and feel abso-
lutely sure that under my management
and permanent direction of the COM
pany's affairs. my associates will be
satisfied.
of airing my conceit or of talking in a
vain way. But 1 do say it because 1 take
great pride in these properties They
have been good to me. In turn, l am
going to stay right with them--I would
feel almost lost in any other field l
have sold no Amalgamated Copper COM
pany stock; I shall sell none. / bought
some last week and some more to-day
but let no man take that as a tip:
am not predicting one word about cop
per stocks, l simply say l am satisfied
with mine.
Il said once before in a Standard in
terview, / think it was added Mr.
Daily, that 1 look for great things for
Butte and it's tributary country during
the next few years. / am here to take
my chances on those predictions. l ask
no living man to share them with me,
but they're good enough for me, and I
am staying right with them. Do you
know" remarked Mr.. DAILY, after a
pause, and giving his talk a suggestive
ly serious turn, do you know that this
constant newspaper talk about man
selling out and quitting his old home
and going here or there or yonder-
when the man himself intends nothing
of the sort-somehow has a depressing
effect on the man himself, if they keep
it up long enough? 1t does, indeed;
somehow you dislike to see 1t all in the
paper or hear about it, Leave Mon
tana? No, I'm not going to-not If
they'll let me stay. My home is here,
and my heart is here, and my family
and my friends-plenty of them-and
my best years and my investments and
my expectations and all my plans. Well
satisfied l am to stay here with them
always, hope.
Now" added Mr.. DAILY, after dash
ing off this talk, in rapidly-changing
mood at rate with which the report
er could not comfortably keep pace,
now" said he, 'ff there is anything
more you want to ask about Denver
residences, or seaside cottages, or rid
ing on mules in Switzerland or SELL
ing my copper stocks or going out Of
business or moving out of Montana
if there's something else about all
those you'd like to know, speak right
up. Why, my boy, If you have luck,
you'll grow up to be a managing ed
itor of newspaper before I get
through sinking shafts in Butte to the
depth they're going to. Your newspa-
pers will keep on selling me out,
these will all be newspaper sales. What
else We're you thinking to ask?"
Nothing more, thank you, Mr..
DAILY" came from the reporter moth
ing more that think of. Good night"
