CLARK SECOND IN WEALTH ID
 JOHN ). R.?
OWNER OF THE UNITED VERDE IS SAID TO BE THE NEXT RICHEST MAN IN ALL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 20.-Is w. A. Clark, mine king and former Senator from Montana, overhauling John D. as the richest man in America2
 That's the word out here.
 War prices on metals have enorm- ously increased Clark's already fabu- lous income.
 And the difference between Clark and Rockefeller and other American money monarchs is that Clark's vast holdings arc practically all in his own name and that of his family.
 His intimatcs here say he could raise SlO0,OCO,OOO in cash in "A hours out of his own storehouse of wealth, and that he is probably the only man in the United States who can.
 United Verde, the Arizona copper mine for which Clark recently refused 75,000,000, is alone paying him a monthly dividend of $2000,O0O.
 His Butte properties, though com- parativcly small, also yield him enor- nous sums.
 Aside from the S5O.OOO,OOO loan he made France, the adopted land of his children, Clark has S20,0000O0 loose change he doesn't know what to do with
 A French syndicate wanted to pur- chase United Verde. The Old Man, as they call him here, said:
 Well, I don't want to sell Verde, but l suppose everything has its price. Tell you what I'll do. You survey the property and pay me 10 cents pound for all the orc actually in sight"
 When, at 10 cents per pound, the actual orc bulked to the staggering figure of $60000,000 the syndicate en- Sinecrs threw up their hands. And copper is today selling around 5 cents per pound.
 Clark has a S15,O00,000 home on Fifth avenue, Sl0000,0O0 chateau in Paris, where his children live, another palace in Los Angeles and the old home here in Butte
 In New York the brass trust want ed % hold him up on the million dol lar fixtures for his Fifth avenue home. so Clark started a foundry of his own. just for that purpose.
 Starting as a bull team driver, a vendor of spices and baking powIers, here in the early days, he got in on the first whack at the billion dollar hill' at Butte
 Today at 76, he has mines in Mon- tana, Arizona, California, Michigan, owns the Salt Lake line from Butte to Los Angeles, has oil properties in Nyoming-in fact owns tremendous properties in nearly every State.
 Every night he knows just what has happened during the day on all his holdings. He gets reports from them ala bushel basket of telegrams every night at the New York offices.
 His political fights in Montana - and they have been on the theory that might makes right-have cost this super-rich man millions.
 It is from these political battles that Clark says he has learned the 10 which he today ascribes his remarkable energy and unfaiIing business acumcn.
 ''I have learned never to worry" he asserts. but to conserve my encr- gIcS. The result is that I sleep like child when my head touches the pill low and I wake up fresh for any task
