Relation to modern company of same name

Is the company currently known as United Copper in any way related to this historically significant company? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.121.67 (talk) 13:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean this company: United Copper Industries? I'd never heard of United Copper Industries and I'm 99 percent certain they're unrelated (United Copper Industries is based in Texas, and nothing on their Web site indicates they were ever reconstituted from the Montana copper interests owned by the company in this article, which was placed in receivership in New York in 1913. I can't really find any information at all on United Copper Industries... --JayHenry (talk) 01:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
