N. c. Sheridan, superintendent of

ed to eulogistic of Mr. Sheridan and

The new superintendent will be
Charles w. Newton, of Butte, who re-
Gently resigned the superntcndency
of the Butte Ballaklava to accept the
position. Referring to the change, the
Butte Miner of December 22 has this
to say of Mr.. Newton:
Stands high in Butte.
1T was announced in Butte yester-
day that Charles w. Newton for seven
years superintendent of the Butte
Ballaklava Copper company and also
Of the Butte & Zenith company, has
accepted the superintendency Of the
Interstate Callahan company, with
headquarters at Wallace, Idaho.
THE Interstate Callahan Is said to
be one Of the largest zinc properties In
this country and it is now being oper-
q ta vii tn bo ho
ore 1t is said the capacity Of the mill
will be enlarged and that construction
work will start in the near future.
Mr.. Newton came to Butte in 1907
and for the first year was assistant
superintendent of the Butte Balla-
klava. Then he became superintendent
and it was through his efforts that the
Butte Ballaklava has been developed
from the grass roots to its present
state.
The change in positions means
marked advancement for Mr.. Newton,
as there is broad field ahead of him
in the management Of the big Idaho
.zinc property.

| take up the duties of his new position
until the first of the year. He has
made a host of friends In Butte who
will keenly regret his departure,
though all are congratulating him on
his promotion"
