No babe was ever born in Montana with
such brilliant prospects before it as the
little stranger who came to the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. w. A. Clark, Jr.. OH Monday.
The grandson of Senator w. A. Clark,
this baby is an heir in the direct line Of
Montanas multi-millionaire, his only
grandson and, prospectively, the heir to
the greater portion of his enormous wealth.
The crown prince of Germany will in
herit no more wealth than will this
youngster, as yet scarlet mite of human
ty in this far Western city. The car of
Russia might be willing to cndow male
heir with an amount approximately the
same as the Clark heirs prospective for
tune, provided he had male heir, but no
other European ruler could.
Even the present Prince of Wales, nor
even his royal father could give an heir
such fabulous wealth as this little child
ultimately will control.
This Butte baby, born on the first day of
the midwinter month in the cold and the
smelter smoke of Butte, il events take
their natural course, will direct power as
great as that of ]. Perpont Morgan of
today, and greater than that of the king
of England.
If the Clark fortune multiplics at the
same rate as the other great fortunes of
the present generation have grown, the one
which will descend to the Clark grandson
will be perhaps the greatest in the world
Think Of it for a moment. What heirs
are there to divide the Clark wealth when,
in the ordianry course OF events the sena-
tor passes from this world. There are two
sons and two daughters. One of the
daughters has daughter, but William A.,
Jr.. is the only one who has son.
According to the rule of primogeniture
providing no son is born to Charles Clark
the 3-day-old Clark ultimately will become
the head of the family.
No man knows the exact wealth of
Senator Clark. 1t is doubtful if he
knows himself. Various estimates place
it anywhere from $7o,ooo,ooo to $3.50 ,ooo,-
900. Most of it is in property which is
increasing in value by leaps and bounds.
The United Verde copper mine, for in
stance, is property the possibilities of

the three robbers worn and weary from
hard riding, and grnif and vicious. rode
up to the Arthur ranch, six miles south OF
