THE BUSINESS MEN.
Eloquent Tributes Paid to Mr.. Daly's
Memory.

Memory.
The Business Mems Association held a
meeting last night, and during the ses-
sion it's members delivered addresses
eulogistic of the life of Marcus DAILY.
RESOLUTIONS, as follows, were also
passed:
Whereas, 1t has pleased the AL
mighty God, the creator and arbiter of
all things, to call from his labors and to
his reward our illustrious fellow citizen,
our much beloved neighbor and honored
friend, Marcus DAILY and
whereas, We instinctively feel that
in the untimely death of Marcus DAILY
this community, the state of Montana
and the entire Rocky Mountain region
has lost one of the ablest, most pro-
gressive and most valued benefactors,
whose trust in it's possibilities never
wavered and whose energy in it's de-
velopment never wearied, whose desire
for doing good was co-extensive with
the force and scope of a MAGNIFICENT in
dividuality: and
Whereas, His boundless charity, his
blameless life and lack of desire for per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, his almost pa
rental solicitude for the WeIl-1eing of
those associated with him in the promo
tion of his many vast enterprises rem
ders his memory doubly dear and his loss
the more calamitous to ourselves, our
community and our state. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, BY this association of
business men of Butte Mont, that while
we bow in humble submission to the will
of the Author of his being we deplore
nj ha wi tai ut
ir the prosperity of our commonwealth;
the prolific source of hope ENCOURAGE
ment and vitality to the efforts of 9TH
ers; the inspiration Of the young the ap-
probation of the grown and the aid and
consolation of the old. We grieve with
the bereaved family in their aff1icton.

Among those who paid tribute to the
memory of Mr.. Daily We're Octavius
Hight, Thomas F. Courtney, Patrick j.
Brophy, Judge w. o. Speer, Joseph A.
| Broughton and c. F. Booth. Mr.. Court
ney said he had known Mr.. Daily twen-
ty years and during that period he had
| admired him to the utmost Il have been
cognizant of many acts of charity per-
formed by Mr. Daily which the public
knew nothing about" said he. His
kindness of heart was proverbial--he
could not look upon a deserving object
without giving"
| Mr.. Brophy.-"The occasion is sad
one, not alone for Butte and Montana,
but the entire Rocky Mountain region.

| pioneers. Success was his great ambi-
ton in life. He was great in power and
magnificent in talent. We will feel his
| demise more in Butte than anywhere
| else. Mr.. Daly's personal sympathy with
| his employees was marvellous and it waT
| mutual. He was always promoter of
the interests of Butte and the state and
his place can never be taken or filled in
the hearts of his friends.
w. o. Speer.-"I had known Mr.. Daily
since 1880. I remember when Re took
charge of the Anaconda properties. In
looking over his career mining man
! I am forced to the conclusion that Mr..
Daily was the greatest mining man the
| world has ever produced. He sunk more
shafts, drove more levels and took out
more tons of ore than any living man.
He was not a small man in his opera
tions. He was the father of copper min
ing in this country. The name of Marcus
| Daily will live in Montana longer than
that of any man up to the present time.
Ir his death Montana has lost a great
| friend"
Joseph A. Broughton told of a meet
ing he had with Mr.. DAILY in Utah in
early days. ''He was a broad, liberal
minded man." said Mr.. Brouehton. "and
his good acts will live forever while his
faults will be buried with him. He was
a great and good man, and in his death
Butte and Montana have suffered an ir-
reparable loss
Charles Booth said he had been asso-
ciated with Mr. Daily six years and had
always found him a man of generous
impulses. He had the interest of the
state at heart and in many ways had
manifested it. When the b., A. & p
read was built by Mr.. Daily he knew Mr.
Daily had done it for the welfare of Butte
and Anaconda and that he was put to
considerable trouble to raise the money
to carry the enterprise to a successful
termination. Mr.. Daly's gifts to charity
were numerous, but he never wanted
them known.
