Monday evening the Business Men's association of Butte held the most enthusiastic en-thusiastic and best attended meeting of many months. Of course the chief t. .fijc of debate was the international in'iiinff congress, the next meeting of ! which will be held in this --ity next ''' The fact has been brought to the j attention of the citizens that unless something Is done soon there will be i no meeting here and the pledge given at Boise cannot be redeemed. If the i ' Interest displayed Monday evening is a l criterion, there will be little di.hculty ( i Tiow in raising the requisite amount, ; fi'd for the first time since the move- J nir-nt was bejrun there is something v I tangible to work upon. Per-hans the most encouraging report f mule was that of Henry -Mueller f 1" reerard to his interview with , heads of the several mining com- 5 r'inics. "This committee," said Mr. I Mueller, "has seen Mr. Scallon of the ; .Anaconda comrany, and he informed , us mat ne naa consulted witn the " heads of other mining corporations and that they could be counted upon to do Iheir share and a little more. Mr. I Scallon told us to pas, our subscription Jist around among the business men of "' Butte and if it was shown that they really wanted this mining congress they could expect assistance from the I ' minintr companies. He did not feel i " that it would result in any great bene- ! " fit to his company, but viewed it In the j i Nsht of a pledge given that should be f redeemed. The word of the com- munity has been given and the prom- Y ie must be fulfilled." fV Recently Rev.
