Anaconda Man Inherits $3 Million from Uncle Death
An Anaconda resident, Jr. McAndrews, longtime railroad man and contractor, is to share a $3,000,000 estate with fourteen heirs after the death of an uncle in Pennsylvania. McAndrews, once a superintendent for the B. A. & P. railway, has lived in Copper City for years and worked with Northern Pacific and the Anaconda Copper Mining electric streetcar projects. The exact share is pending probate, with McAndrews poised to gain wealth after years of varied labor and intermittent unemployment.
