II have listened tonight with rapt at
tention to a description of the Nauga-

wherein application, wonderful ingenu-
ity. and splendid thrift and labor have
made Connecticut a synonym for in

HIGH SPOTS IN MR..


I'VE coult not afford to tie up
our Montana mining industry to
the destinies of the Old World.
We could not afford to wait UNI
til 1t vas rehsbiIltsted In order
10 find a market for our copper,
more than 500 of which had al
ways been exported.
$50 we said Let the greatest
copper user and the greatest
copper producer In the United
States link their fortunes and
their destinies and thus COM
bInedIy we may be able TO face
the future with confidence and
with the hope of sustaining our
industries and the communities
that are dependent upon them
"5y combining the ingenuity of
the Yankee with the courage OF
the pioneer miner, the indus
try now stands upon as stable
and as solid a footing as that of
any industry In the world.
"if you are a bull on anything
in this world be a bull on cop
per; II you believe the world
is going forward, that civllixa-
ton is going to develop, then put
your money on copper and stay
there.
I'VE have taken on a new re-
sponsibiIity, that of making this
a community where the radical,
the anarchist, the revoIutionist,
the destroyer can find no hope.
Just as ! hope you will say
that this big corporation shall
never t~ransgress the right OF any
n In this community, so do
have a right to ask you 10 see
that it's rights are not trans
crossed. IL is essential that a

A Surplus of Copper

II often wonder II you people here fl
Butte realize how important a posi-
ton this community has in the indus
trial affairs of the nation and OF IN,
world? We got a glimpse of II duriny
the war when every product from tn,
Butte mines was eagerly sought for
when the United States government
was In practically daily telephone com
munication with our office TO know
how much copper and how much zinc
were coming along, I'm order that the
allies might be furnished with the mu.
nitions they needed TO carry on the
war. 1t is true that the war 10 some
extent spelt disaster for Butte. For
while we struggled during those four
years under adverse labor conditions,
States for r%adicalism that was unde-
served. You know and / know. and ]
want to say IT in the presence OF my
friend from Waterbury tonight, that
the reason Butte during those trying
times got a reputation for radlcaiism,
was because the biggest part of the
manhood of Butte hat was able, young
and vigorous, was away fighting for
the flag. I want to say TO you. sir.
that when the youth of Butte, the man
hood of Butte. the real red blood OF
Butte is home and on the job. you
don't need to worry down in Water
bury whether we are going to be able
TO conduct our operations out here In
Butte or not. These boys will take
care of that.
THE armistlce found the copper In
dustry in a very serious condition. We
had been practically an arm Of the
governmental service during that per-
lod. Our product had been taken over
30 per cent for munitions. During that
time substitutes had been introduced
into the markets for the place that |
copper had previously occupied. and |
not only that. but on account OF war
necessities a tremendous stock of cop
per had been brought out and cum

Future Of Copper.

There are two questions TO which
/ wish to revert for a moment. One
Is: What about the copper business ;
In II ever going 10 be any goodT The
other Is. what about Butte's
supplAofL copper. Frankly Il
can not answer une%quiyocaIiy either
question without introducing some
other factor. In 1900 the total supply
of copper in the United States wass9D.-
100000 ponnds- In 1912 II had In
creased 100 per cen and reached
f.20o,OO0,0O0 pounds In 1913 thar pro-

cit would be interesting To ace the
development. but the point wanted to
emphasize was this: Down there they
built up this manufacturing enterprise.
Out here we have built w u great pro-
ductive industry. In the inevitable
evolution the product Of the ingenuity
OF the Yankee and the product Of the
courage Of the pioneer miner have be
