Bates Great wealth.

More wealth Ii produced In the small
area Of Butte City every year than In
some whole States. The revenue from
the mines-some 5000. .000-is equal
% the income Of the Government Of
Holland. The recent great progress In
every department Of electrical develop
ment has been made possible In large
degree by the energy Of these men Of
Butte. For the city and Its environs
now produce q quarter Of the worlds
entire product Of copper. about two
flfths that Of the United States. A
single group Of mines In the heart Of
the city-the Anaconda-yields more
than twice as much copper yearly as
an Germany. Nor Is the treasure con-
fined to copper. Fsutte Is the greatest
silver-prodrcing centre in the United
States, Its annual output-some $13..

MORGAN ON PROSPERITY
Fina,c;er Believes the Good Times
Will Last a Long While.
He IS AN ENTHUSIASTIC BULL

Hs Thinks Many New Securities stiil Un-
disested Are Esssntially Sound and
Any Disicr Ity Because Of Them Will
Disappsar-c -citss the Stool Industry n
Barosnstsr ss the country's Stability.
New York City,. Plerpont Morgan.
In an interview with a representative
OF the New York Times uuequivocally
declared himself to be q bull on the
country and its future.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Morgan de-
clared-then also In the columns Of the
Times-not only that he believed In the
country's prosperity. but that he looked
for even better times. That he has not
abated one whit his enthusiastic belief
Is disclosed by his statement following
the first utterance OF sucn kind In
many months.
Mr.. Morgan said:
1T seems to me that the general pes.
simistic talk INDUCED In not alone In
foreign but In local circles Is In no
sense justified by the facts. 1t may be
true. as some Of the captious critics de-
clare. that at the present moment there
are in the market many undigested Sc
curlties. but ought not the character OF
these securities to be taken into consid-
Grafton In q broad or comprehensive
view Of the situation? Are these secu.
rifles sound or are they unsound; do
they represent value or do they not;
for what purposes have they been Is
sued-those are the questions.
ITO my mind and in my judgment
these new securities are essentially
sound and stable. and those who have
them are In no wise alarmed because
Of their holdings. Beyond all this. they
are issued not to build competing lines
but largely for the purchase Of rolling
stock and motive power and for the eS-
tension Of other facilities necessitafed
by the necessary movement Of the pro.
ducts Of the country.
You will find that In due time this
phase Of the ifiiculty-growlpg out Of
these new securities-will disappear.
"As for the general situation yon
may state emphatically and unequivo-
cally that It Is most promising. with tie
country unqualifedly prosperous. In
the iron and steel trade. for example
the barometer of the country's growth.
stability and business activity - there
never was so great or SO profitable
business. Orders on hand run far
ahead and the outlook Is decidedly en-
couraging.
I'm short. summing the situation up.
not only Is there prosperity every
where. but the promises are Of q con-
tinuation of that prosperity for long
time to come"

Albanians later surrounded MitrovitZa

Turkish garrison. consisting OF 1000
troops. The fighting continued for two
days. when the Albanians finally were
repulsed with great loss.

growing fanaticism Of the Albanians.
the Christians have closed their shops
and schools and are preparing to seek
refuge Mt Monastir. Many Christians
have been murdered In the Prilep dis
trict in the last few days.
