Apex laws, judges, etc.[edit]

This article needs some work. It implies that Heinze's men dug down on that little triangle of land. Rather, he merely staked that claim, and then convinced a judge to shut down adjoining mines by asserting that the veins they were mining apexed on his claim. The idea was for Heinze to tie up the matter in court while his miners could sneak in to the competitor's mines and take out the ore. In Butte, it was very common for mines of different companies to have inter-connecting drifts.

Another thing, it's going too far to say that Heinze "is known" to have had X many judges on his staff. Staff is certainly an incorrect term. Many judges accepted bribes from him in return for favorable rulings, that is not the same. Judges worked for the State of Montana. BSMet94 20:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

troubling call[edit]

The following comment appears to praise corrupt, criminal action. Could it be removed, or adjusted?

The comment regarding copper commodity price crash in 1907[edit]

This is in the wrong place under Early Career and should be under Crash of 1907 and have a citation.RichardBond (talk) 01:32, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
