capable mar and 1 have known him eyer
since he commenced the practice of the
law and l know nothing but good of him.
I think that you will find that every per
son in Butte favors the appointment,
A. w. Barnard.-Mr. Scallon is an old
and one of the most popular residents
of this community. In my opinion, there
could not have been a selection made
that would have given better salts
faction.
Major j. F. Dawson.-No news could
please me more. l don't believe a bet
ter selection could have been made. l
have known Mr.. Scallon for Il years and
my opinion is that a man better fitted
for the selection could not have been
found.
H. o. Wilson, think the appointment
is a good one. Mr.. Scallon is certainly
a brilliant man and being thoroughly
conversant with the affairs of the COM
pany a better selection could not have
been made. l think that his advance
ment will meet with general satisfaction.
j. II. Leyson--It seems to me that the
selection of Mr.. Scallon must meet with
the unanimous and unqualified APP
proval of the people of the state. Mon
tana is to be congratulated, for no other
man is in a position to be better ac-
quainted with the affairs of the company
and is kindlier disposed towards the peo-
pie of the state than is he.
Henry Mueller-I think a better Sc
lection could not have been made. If
the residents of Butte could have named
the president of the Anaconda company
themselves, l think Mr.. Scallon would
have been their selection. Furthermore,
l believe the people are to be congrat-
ulated that Mr.. Scallon was selected in
stead of an eastern man.
l.. D. Wild--I think it a capital selec-
ton. He is a man who is very modest
and retiring, and there is no question Of
his ability. l think that he will man
age the property of the company for the
benefit of the property itself and will
deal magnanimously with the people Of
Montana. l think that is the general
verdict.
ID. M. Newbro-I am heartily pleased
with the selection. 1t mean a continual
ton of the policy of the company on
the old lines. The whole town, in fact,
is satisfied with the selection. Nothing
better could have happened, because Mr..
Scallon has virtually been the head of
the company since Mr.. Days departure

better, perhaps, than any other living
man.
w. c. Bacheler-I have known Mr..
Scallon for the last twenty years. In
my opinion he has always been foremost
in every philosophical enterprise-a
man who was always kind and gentle
manly in his demeanor to everybody he
met. While l am not interested in cop
per mining, still l believe the selection
of such a man as Mr.. Scallon to repre-
sent so great a company as the Ana
conda company should meet with the
general approval of the community. I
am sure that it does.
James A. .Canty-The proper man in
the proper place. I have known Mr..
Scallon for a great many years and am
satisfied that nobody could fill the posi-
ton any more satisfactorily. Every
body is pleased that he was selected in
stead of an outsider. II
j. S. Weimescary-I am simply tickled
to death. Mr.. Scallon is the proper man,
without a doubt. No better could be
found in a weeks journey. '
P. j. Brophy-I think the selection the
best that could lave been made. l have
known Mr.. Scallon for many years and
have the highest kind of admiration for
him. He is certainly the man the citi-
zens Of Butte wanted. =
