The handsome building which appears
at the right Of this page is the Clark block
erected in Butte last year by w. A.
Clark, Jr. It is one Of the handsomest,
most complete and best finished buildings
in the state of Montana and Mr.. Clark's
investment In the structure amounts to
over $4,000.
This Is a sample Of the work Of Mr..
Clark. Although still a young man he
has devoted himself assiduously for sew
eral years to enterprises which not only
promise to be exceedingly profitable for
himself but which will, in many instances,
be of much public benefit. Mr.. Clark
graduated three years ago from the Uni
versity Of Virginia after completing the
law course, receiving the highest honors
which any student has obtained in that
institution during many years. Coming
| to Butte he opened law office and COM
| menced active practice. He has given
much attention to his law library and it
is now known as the largest and most
| complete in the west
He at once began to interest himself in
numerous business enterprises in Butte
! and has shown his faith in the city by
| investing in real estate and In business
undertakings which must depend for their
success upon the future development of
the city.
| Among other things, he is owner Of the
Montana. Music Co., the leading music
house in the state of Montana, the owner
of the Butte Fuel and Supply company,
and owns controlling interest in one Of
the leading dry goods houses of the city.

Senator Clark acquired control of the
Muulton Mining company about 1881, and
has been connected with it ever since.
This company operated large silver mill
for great many years, but has been shut
down now for the past seven years on
account Of the low price Of silver, which
made 1t Improbable to continue to oper-
ate silver mines in this vicinity. The
company derives some income from work
being carried on by leasers, and also from
it's waterworks system. 1t furnishes the
purest and best water in the country to
the city Of Walkerville, and the northern
part of Butte. Eight or nine silver mills
have been in operation, saving the silver
and gold from the ores of Butte, at differ
ent times, but these are now all shut

profitable to operate them.
In 1888 Senator Clark took a leading part
in the introduction of street railways in
Butte. This system has grown until now
it comprises about thirty miles of track
operated by electricity, and employing
about 100 men.
The system is very complete and han
dies an average of 1890 passengers per
day. 1t also delivers over $4,000 tons of
ore per month from the mines owned by
Senator Clark to the Butte Reduction
Works. -..s
Senator Clark took an active interest in
tenn into the city Of Butte The first
machine was Brush arc light machine OF
fifty lights: incandescent lighting was In
troduced in 1889. A large station was
erected in 1890 close to the Butte Reduc
ton Works, and soon this developed into
a very important enterprise, which is
now known as the Butte Lighting
and Power company, and is now
furnishing nearly $4,000 incandescent
lights and 5000 arc lights. besides consid-
cradle power for elevators etc.

state.
He took an active part in developing
various silver and copper mining claims
His Original mine was the first mine in
Butte for which a United States patent
was issued. One Of the first mills for
handling silver ores was called the Dexter
mill, which he operated for several years.
In 1884 and 1885 he built what was known
as the Clark's Colusa smelter, where he
smelted ores containing copper, silver and
gold and at that time was one Of the
largest smelters in this section. He sold
this property to the Boston and Montana
Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining
company in January, 1888. He acquired
control of the Butte Reduction Works at
that time, and has operated this smelter
ever since. The production is averaging
about 20, 900 pounds of fine copper, and
1900, 900 ounces of silver per arrulr., and
gives employment to about 900 men.
The mines which furnish the ore to the
Butte Reduction Works are operated
through three different shafts, the orig
inal mine shaft being 1,4oO feet deep, the
West Stewart shaft 900 feet deep. and the
East Stewart 1880 feet deep. At these
mines about 700 men are employed. These
properties are contiguous and the shafts
are all connected by underground drifts
and cross cuts on various levels. New
