John Gillie Named Superintendent at Butte Mines
The official announcement yesterday appointed John Gillie as superintendent of the Butte & Boston mines. Gillie, a long time Butte resident, is a noted mining engineer praised for his thoroughness. S Batterman shifts to consulting engineer, freeing time for demanding duties. The mines produce about one and a half million pounds of copper monthly, with potential profits near $100,000 monthly and possible dividends of at least $4 per year. Merger talks with the Boston & Montana remain speculative.
