The history of Butte is the history of
its three great mining men-Daly, Clark
and Heinze.
These are the character of the men:-
DAILY was generous; Clark is careful;
Heinze CANDLES to see which way he
should gamble.
Born in Ireland, Marcus DAILY when
fifteen came to America, working first
at Brooklyn as a dock hand Later he
went to California, where he did placer
mining Haggin and Tevis, mining men
of Frisco, sent him to Utah. Here he
met the Walker brothers, who had him
go to Butte in 1876 to inspect the Old
Alice mine. DAILY went into Butte
carrying blanket on his back; he died
worth $4,000. 600.
They say that after selling his share

and Tevis and bought the Anaconda.
The Californians sent an expert to look
at the mine. This man said II was
worthless and started back to San
Francisco TO make his report. DAILY

held on to the first thousand he got and
went down to Salt Lake and bought
the boys. Then he got little log store,
then a bank, then he got lot of copper
claims, and now, if it hadn't a been

Clark made use of his chance. He
was in the richest mining camp i'm the
world AS can be done in many places

he got interest in claims. He went TO
Columbia University and studied metal

Joseph jefferson, on his retirihg from

few days on his way to Florida to spend
the winter. A friend who met him at
the time asked the great comedian why
he did not stay in New York. where the
climate was ingivorating, instead of
flying to the more or less sultry heat or
the south.

n OPPER' is not entirely a fig
ment invented for Wall street
financiering, as many might
suppose. 1t is backed, for instance, by
a mile square of copper known as
Butte City. Mont, one of the three
great copper mining centers of the
world, one other being by Lake Su-
perior and the third in Arizona. 1t is
the most wonderful of mining camps.
The town, a mile higher than the New
York F'latiron building, lies in a noun
tain basin scooped from the lofty slopes
of the Rockies. The basin is a vast
reservoir of copper and silver veins.
Since four Nevada prospectors "struck
it rich there forty years ago half
billion of dollars worth of mineral
gold, silver and copper-have been
taken from the mines. Here Marcus
Daily Senator w. A. Clark, August
Heinze John d. Rockefeller. Henry A.
Rogers and other Standard Oil inter-
ests have made fortunes. But more
wonderful than all this wealth and the
fairylike stories of the mining Aladdins
is the town of Butte itself, it's society
and prodigal disregard of everything
except the stuff that's in a man. It's
$4,000 population represents every race
and country. 1t has, so the Butte peo-
pie say, the ablest up-to-date men and
handsomest brainy women i'm the world.
In other words, Butte is run by
Lrp n mi
sport and social cOnquests. Here
Standard Oil. victorious elsewhere, was
defeated by a Butte mine owner The
city is run wide open, with glittering
Monte Carlos on every hand. Churches,
schools and philanthropic institutions
are generously supported. and every
thing clever and up to date IS
given wide open chance to play it's
hand to the limit. Every man there
is a plunger.
Sacks of Golden SIugs
1t is said that not one Of the thirteen
thousand miners in Butte earns less
than $3.50 a day. All spend their earn
ings recklessly. Drill drivers in flannel
shirts bet stacks of silver and gold
slugs. When friends disagree as to
the price OF a newly discovered claim
they fiip a twenty dollar gold piece into
the air and decide a ten thousand dollar
difference on the turn of coin. Then
the man who looses writes fifty
thousand dollar check for the mine in
lead pencil, takes another drink and
the incident closes.
In that basin of wealth gold and
magic seem to float in the air. In one
year Bhtte's mineral output was fifty
five millions. nearly three times the Ell
tire mineral product of the state OF
California. A single company-the
Anaconda-put out $2S,OOO,OOO in one
year and its 5000 men received $500, 900
in wages a month. So it is easy TO
understand why men of nerve and
women of accomplishments have come
TO Butte from Paris and London, from
South Africa and Australia, from St.
Petersburg and New York to breathe

Mountains, under the deep skies of
Montana
1t IS said that there are more college
graduates working under ground at
Butte than in any other sroup of mines
in the world. One of these, Mr.. James
b. White, of Kentucky, went through
a scientific course, took up practical as
saying and mining engineering, and
then engaged himself with the Ana
conda company as a geological expert.
After eight years with the late Marcus
DAILY in that vast corporation, he Joined
Mr.. Heinze's organization as consulting
mining engineer. Mr.. White is now
visiting New York city and gives many
very interesting facts about Butte.
Its prospects" he said ''are brighter
than ever Development work has
proved that the copper belt extends half
a mile further north and west than the
most experienced miner ever dreamed.
Solid Copper Everywhere
Butte is now known to rest upon p
square. Veins that were thought value
less are now held at millions. The

of ore has been discovered The Cora
mine which DAILY could have had for
100000 Is now valued at $4,000, OOO The
recent opening of old abandoned silver
mines IS giving the camp new life.
Butte is probably the most up-to-
date of cities, and in closer touch with
New York and the great interests of the
country than any other town in the
west. There you will find the Herald
with the leading papers of London
and Paris on file. The people are wide
awake and can size a man up at
glance. Real men are accepted at full
par value i'm the mines and in the best
society. Young men from Harvard and
Columbia at work in mines or smelters
are welcomed everywhere. You see
them with battered hands and powder
stained faces at receptions and soirees,
ranking with the highest. The young
college man, but an hour before in
overalls, plays Chopin and Schumann
at the grand piano.
"The ladies of Butte are cultivated,
refined, bighearted women. who are
not ashamed of improving their minds
and working with their hands and they
give a hearty welcome to guests from
mines and assay offices. They UNDER
stand the art Of entertainment. They
make the stranger forget that he is
