Ryan Heads Arnalgamated

New York, June 10.-John D.
Ryan was today elected president Of
the Amalgamated Copper company
to succeed the late H. Fl. Rogers.
B. B. Thayer was elected president
of the Anaconda Copper mining
company, succeeding John D. Ryan.
Mr.. Rogers place as vice president
Of the Anaconda Copper company
was filled by the election of E. ?.
Addicks.
TO rise by successive steps from
the obscure position of a drummer
in kerosene in a sparsely settled
western mining state to the presi-
dency of the Amalgamated Copper
Mining company, succeeding the
late Henry FL. Rogers, is an achieve
ment which few men could accom-
plish, and to compass this in the
short space of twenty years, still
fewer men, even though the oppor-
tunity were theirs, could accomplish.
But this is the career up to date of
John d. Ryan, today chosen as the
successor of Mr.. Rogers as the head
Of the Amalgamated. He is succeed
ed in the presidency of the Anacon-
da Copper Mining company by r. B.
Thayer.
Mr.. Ryan is still managing diree-
tor Of the Amalgamated properties
in Butte, but it is expected that his
successor will shortly be named.
Whom this will be, is not known.
Mr.. Ryan is 43 years old and was
born in the Lake Superior copper
country. the son of a boat captain
on the lakes. He spent his youth and
early manhood in the copper country
and then went to Colorado where he
was connected with the Continental
Oil company. Shortly afterWard his
ability was recognized and he was
made the western salesman. After
a few years he was called to Chicago
to take charge Of some Independent
refineries, remaing in this position
until 1901, when he purchased an
interest in the DAILY bank at Butte
and came there as manager.
Upon the resignation of William
Scallon in 1904 as managing director
of the different Amalgamated prop
critics and as president Of the Ana
conda Mining company, he was chos-
en- Mr.. scallon,s successor, a posi-
ton he held until his promotion to-
day.
It was in Butte that Mr.. Ryan,
ability became manifest. Shortly af-
ter taking charge Of the Amalga-
mated properties he organized the
North Butte Mining company and a
year later secured a settlement OF
the Observation-Disclosures litigation.
Later, associated with Thomas T.
Cole. he organized the Butte Coall-
ton Mining company, and several
months afterWard the Cole-Ryan
syndicate came into existence. This
syndicate bought the Hill holdings
at Great Falls and is now engaged
ii putting in the power plants there.
