Heart-Throb Story of
Marcus Daly in His
Early-Day Struggles
In Anaeonda, where the name of
Marcus Daly is loved and honored, are
many men who knew him well and who
talked with him on iDtimate terms. J
Amone them are many stories which
he told them of his struggles, his suc
cesses, and his defeats, stories which
have never found their way into print.
According to these old friends, raanv
of. whom owe their present-day success
to-the opportunities given them by the
warm-hearted miner, it was not all
beer and skittles with him, He had to
fight his way to the top.
A friend who had known Marcus
Daly since the old days in Nevada re
marked to him in the ’90s: "Mr. Dalv,
your company was the first in this
camp. I am wondering why you didn’t
locate the entire hill—sort of take over
the whole works.”
“Because, my boy,”- said Daly with a
grim smile, “in those days I had all I
could do to swing the Anaconda. We
had decided to do our own smelting.
The work was new and we had much to
learn. Wo built smelters and tore
them down and rebuilt them, only to
tear them down again,. It was expen
sive business.
“In the Anaconda company were
Hearst, Haggin, Tevis and myself. One
day a meeting of the stockholders was
called to discuss the situation. After
much discussion Tevis said, T move
that we levy a special assessment to
continue our smelting experiments.’
“‘I can’t pay another assessment,
gentlemen,’ 1 said. > T have spent every
cent I have. I Am broke.’
“ ‘Well.’ said Tevis, loudly, ‘if you
can’t pay the assessment we will take
over your stock-’ T was up against it,
and Tevsis evidently wanted the stock.
‘‘‘Just a minute,’■ said Haggin; ‘I
bawe- a word to say here, too..’
“Me pulled out) , his-check book, and
began signing checks-in blank. When
ha had them all signed 'be tossed the
book to me across -th®' table. “Mark,’
be said, ‘you have alvvaysstood by me,
and I am going to stand by you. Take
that check book and use- those checks
for any purpose yea< please as long as
there is a dollar to my credit. Mark
may be broke, but I laniot, Mr. Tevis,’
said Haggin, as he settled back in his
chair.”
After the Anaconda group of mines
and the smelter had been brought to
success and the load of care and worry
had been lifted from his shoulders,
Duly made a flying trip to New York.
He was wined and dined, entertained
and made much of. He was impressed

“I liked it,” he said. “Boys, I am
going back there to live, f am going
to buy me a silk hat and a gold-headed
cane aDd have a splurge. I feel that I
have earned one.”
He went. *In three months he was
back. ‘‘Wo thought you were going to
make your home in New York,” his
friends iexclaimed. He made a wry
face. “It is fun for about three
months,” he said, “Then » person

cooking, their noise, their scramble: of
the insincerity of it all. I find French
cooking doesn’t appeal to me. I find,
too, that I do not care for the society
of the leaders of the financial world. I
would: rather be back here talking lo

Can a Man Love Two
Women at Same Time?
London.—Can a man be in love with
two women at the same time?
This was the intriguing question
raised by Dr. David Forsyth, the
well knuwn lecturer and writer of
books on psycho analysis, during the
course of a lecture at the London Insti
tute of Hygiene.
He admitted that in his opinion it
was impossible.
“A man,” he insisted, “has only a
limited fund of love on which he can
draw. Any affection that he gives to
No. 2 means that something is with
drawn from No. 1.”
To make the matter still clearer the
lecturer addedt
“A mat; can be ‘head over heels’ in
love with only one woman at a time.
“He can be half in love with two
women.
“Heean be one-sixth in love with six
women, and one-twelfth in love with
twelve women.”
