indirectly and in direct proportion to
all the members of the communities
that depend for their prosperity upon
the continuous and uninterrupted op-
erations of these copper producing
corporations.
Regarding my own personal posi-
| ton there seems to be considerable
misrepresentation. The settlement of
these lawsuits does not in any way
involve my retirement from the field
of either mining or copper mining in
Butte or in the state generally. The
United Copper company has simply
changed it's holdings in the stocks of
a number of corporations which were
deeply involved in litigation for stocks
in corporations which are working
tremendously with all their neighbors
and. whereas in the past the major
portion of my time has been neces-
sarily given to watching court decis-
ions, attempting to extract some
meaning from their ever-changing i'm
port and watching the gyrations of
politics, l am now free to devote my
entire energies to the further up
building of the mining industry which
has done so much to add to the great
ness of Montana.
81 propose to continue here devot-
ing myself to the further development
of the United Copper company's hold
ings in Butte and in several other sec
tions of the state.
81 have no doubt it will be but a
short time before will be employing
directly at least as many men as I
was before the settlement with Mr.
Cole.
1T would indeed be strange for a
man like myself whose entire work
up to date has been devoted to the
copper producing industry. to aban-
don that business at time such as
the present when the remarkable con-
ditions of the copper metal market is
attracting the attention of financiers
the world over.
''The demand for copper is unpre-
cedented; the pay is as high as it is
in spite of the largest producers. who
would be glad to see it lower. Spot
copper is almost unobtainable and ev-
eryone familiar with the metal knows
that the industrial demands of the
world are such that the present pay
will be maintained for an indefinite
period.
This condition, coupled with the
recent wonderful developments in
depth in the mines of Butte, assure
us all of future unprecedented pay
rolls and continued prosperity for our
merchants and business men,
Through long line of cliffs from
Colorado to central Utah, and then
| southwest towards Arizona extensive
beds of coal are found and recent ge.
illogical Investigations into this coal
formation of the far west have devel
oped what may be termed burning
mountains" or coal beds afire. with
surface indications of constant com
bustion for ages past.

Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-04-06

Butte, April 5.-F. August Heinze,
who arrived home last night from
New York after few months Wis
it. today gave the following interview
to the Evening News:
Il am very glad to get back home
again to the mountains after an alb.
sence of four months. It takes a few
months residence in the lowlands for
man to again thoroughly appreci
ate the wonderfully invigorating quail
tiles of Montana's highland atmos
phere.
''The great fight between the Anal
gamated sub-companies and myself
has been settled during my absence
and, I am glad to say, in a manner
which has not meant either humilia
ton or defeat to either side. This
was brought about through the inter
vention of T. F. Cole, who has made
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-04-06

one of the most phenomenal success
es in the copper world since his en-.
trance in the business of copper min
ing some years ago.
His Calumet and Arizona in the
southern territory has startled the
world by it's accomplishments in the
way of production and is only little
more wonderful the way North Butte
has developed under his guidance
Mr.. Cole realized the dreadful handi.
caps surrounding the operations OF
the contending factions here in Butte
and with the consent and cooperation
of Messrs. Rogers and Ryan have fin.
ally brought about a modus vivendi
which in my judgment can inure not
only to the great benefit Of all par.
ties directly interested, namely the
stockholders of Butte Coalition, Anal
gamated and United Copper, but also
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-04-06

the Rocky mountain region, the coal
fields of Utah are somewhat widely
separated, and even the known fields
have been comparatively little explor-
ed; therefore very little is known Of
their productive area.
The edges of these beds come to the
surface in these cliffs nearly one thous-
and feet above the bordering desert.
and in ages past this coal has burned
into the mountain cliffs until smother
ed by the accommodating ashes and COW
ering of superintendent rocks. In
places the heat of this burning coal
has been SO intense as to melt the
rocks. From surface appearances, the
fires have gone out in these cliffs, but
at one point in the canon of Prince
river where the coal is being mined.
the rocks are found to be uncomfor-
tably hot, and the miners were COM
PEELED to retire for fear the fires would
break out
Other coal fields lie in the desert
west of Green river At two places
near tributaries of Fremont river the
Goals are burning, and have been with
out cessation since they were discov-
cred by the earliest explorer. At GER
tain intervals, as the burning of the
thick beds progresses, producing cav
ernous spaces in the earth, the rocks
cave in, forming vents for the freer cir
culation of air. Then the coal burns
more fiercely, and the heat becomes
| intense.
The origin OF these fires has been
the subject of much speculation. Three
explanations are commonly heard
among the people-the Mormons who
inhabit this peculiar country where
the mountains burn.
Cd One explanation is that light
ming has by chance struck the edges
| of these coal beds at various times
since these mountains were lifted up.
(2) Another is that forest fires rag
ing in the mountains came in contact
with exposed coal. The more thought
ful point out that the forests in this
| desert region are too sparse for for
est fires to occur
(3) Still another and more common
explanation is that the Indians built
| their camp fires under the protecting
lerges of the mountains against the
coal, and it was thus ignited. They
point to the fact that there are ruins
of the habitations of cliff dwellers
here, and that in their day the Goals
began to burn.
| The coal miner in this region sees
still another possible cause for these
fires. In the dry mines, and most of
them are dry mines. they observe that
when a quantity of water is thrown
upon a heap of dry coal it spontaneous
ly begins to burn, and if not protected
will burn the mine
Now it can be seen that if the rocks
are rent by some subterranean cause,
as sometimes happens, there may be a
sudden access of water to the fresh,
dry coal, causing spontaneous combus-
ton.
