THE APPOINTMENT OF VIM. SCALLON, AS PRESIDENT OF THE
ANACONDA COMPANY, GIVES UNIVERSAL
SATISFACTION.

The appointment of William Scallon to
succeed Marcus Daily as president of
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
seems to give general satisfaction in
Butte and all agree that a better APP
pointment could not he made. He is re-
garded as one of the most able men in
the city and his close association with
Mr.. Daily has peculiarly qualified him to
fill the office. He is personally popular
with all who have had the pleasure of
meeting him and his views on all sub
jects are most liberal. His brother at
torneys speak in the highest terms of
him and the demonstration 10y the min
ing and laboring men on the streets last
night when the information was received
that he was TO be the next president of
the company spoke for Itself the esteem
of the men who will in future he under
his direction. There is a genera feeling
of satisfaction among all classes that an
eastern man was not elected and BUSH
ness and professional men feel a conf
dence that matters will move smoothly
in the future.
Mr.. Scallon was born in Juliette. Cana
da, about 40 years ago and received his
training and education in that place. He
came to Montana in the early eighties,
settling in Butte, but shortly afterwards
went to the Couer d'Alenes before there
was a railroad into the place. After
practicing law in the Couer d'Alenes
several months he returned to Butte and
has been here ever since. He has been
one of the attorneys for the company
which he now succeeds to the presidency
and was the confidential adviser of Mar
Gus Daily. Prior to coming to the United
States Mr.. Scallon practiced law in
Montreal, Canada and gained the re-
spect of all. His mother is still living
and is residing with a son at Superior,
Wis. Many of Butte's prominent men
express their pleasure over the appoint
ment today and a few are given as fol-
lows:
A. S. Christie-The appointment of
Mr.. Scallon to succeed Mr.. DAILY as pres

matter of personal congratulation. Not
knowing Mr.. Scallon personally. but
knowing him by reputation, the fact of
his association with Mr.. Daily and his
knowledge of Mr.. Days methods, is a
guarantee that conditions now existing
will be continued, and to a business man
that means a good dealt means sta

w. Nee. Whtte-I think that it is the
best possible appointment that could
be mads both for the company and for
the state Of Montana. l except no one.
MIR. Scollon, in my Judgment is more ia
miliar with the affairs of the company
than any other man and is a man Whom
the people of the state of Montana have
more confidence in and esteem for than
anyone else who could be named. His
appointment guarantees to the people of
Butte a settled condition of affairs and
disposes of the uncertainty that has pre-
vailed in their minds for a considerable
period.
S. r. Fair-I think that it is one Of the
finest things that could have happened.
He is a very bright and liberal man and
IS well suited for the position. 1t is the
best thing that could ave happened to
Butte.
r. H. Paxson-Iam very much pleased
with the appointment and none could
have pleased me better. l have known
Mr.. Scallon, ever since he came to Butte
and am free to say that nc appointment
could have been made that would better
suit the people of this section.
A. F. Bray-It is the very best APP
pointment hat could possibly be made
for the people of Montana as we'll as the
mining people. I consider MIR. Scallon a
