Jackson county is as widely known

r-s--y In Florida, but the original
I.s~aa county lay west of the Chip

gamated Copper company, Is growing.
Evidence Of 1t appears to be accumu-
lating.
In Butte the understanding seems to
he very general that more than
mere friendly feeling exists between
Amalgamated. Butte Coalition and
North Butte. The affairs of the three
companies are conducted by the same
officials. attorneys and mining super
intendents The Amalgamated attor-
neys look after all the legal matters
OF both the North Butte and Butte
Coalition, and the Amalgamated min
ing engineers do the North Butte and
Coalition work. The general super
intendent of the Amalgamated mines
exercises the same supervision over
the other two companies and give as
much of his time to Coalition and
North Butte as he does to AmaIgamat

The suspicion in Montana is that
Cole and Ryan acted for Amalgamated
interests when they acquired the Can
anea Central property and again when
tIty negotiated TOT ana secured CON
troll OF Greene Consolidated. and that
they represent Amalgamated interests
In their Lake Superior negotiations.
