In the fifth full year of the strike, John Galt recruited [[Midas Mulligan]], the famous banker of [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. Mulligan not only quit, but bought a hidden valley in the Rocky Mountains, cut off all access but a single road (which he camouflaghed), and stocked the valley with supplies to last a man a lifetime. But Mulligan did not remain secluded. [[Judge Narragansett]] and [[Richard Halley]] asked for and got leaseholds in the valley, and John built an electrostatic powerhouse to provide it with electric power.

And so, in June of that year, Francisco came to this valley, not to the former meeting place of the strikers (wherever that had been, which the novel never names). He needed only one look at the surrounding mountains to see the possibilities. He prospected through those mountains, and struck a lode of [[copper]]. Now he knew that he could still build a productive career, ''and'' provide a product for a thriving community.
