BUTTE OITV.
A Townsman's Impresnlons of a Western
Mining Place.
Charles G. Palmer, our townsman who has
just returned from Butte City, Montana, gives
some interesting details of that 'lively scene
of Western camp life and the doings of
former residents of this place who are now
seeking fortunes there. Mr. Palmer brought
a largo number of valuable and beautiful
specimens of gold, silver, lead, copper and
other ores with him.
Mr. Palmer left town for Butte Cily last
February aud secured work in tho Moscow
mine, operated by tho Parrott Mining Com
pany and of which Bonjamin Tibbcy, also a
former resident of this town, is general super
intendent. Subsequently Mr. Palmer assisted
In opening "The Miner" mine, which is
under the same company and superintendent.
Mr. Palmer had an Inclination to go West for
about 35 years and finally last winter ho
made arrangements and took his departure.
Ho agrees witli the Republican daily news
paper, Uiner, of Bulto City, when It says the
place is " the greatest mining camp on earth "
Jiutto has a population of 35,000, which
consists of almost every nationality on the
face of tho globe, including seven tribes of
Indians and a large per centago of Chinese,
The city has a reputation fur being a tough
place, but Mr. Palmor says it is due to say
that tho citizens aro among tho most law-
abiding aud respectable to bo found. It is
tho influx of toughs from other mining
places that gives tho city tho reputation
There is a large floating population and most
of it is mado up of some very hard charac
ters of western lifo. There are scores of
western towns that have no churches, but
Butte, to tho contrary, has a church for
every denomination and oven the Cbineso
havo their joss houses. The iicoplo also take
a great interest in tho welfare of tho public
schools. It has fourteen largo school build
ings und an excellent corps of teachers
Four additional buildings aro in course of
construction. All tho buildings aro largoand
beautiful. As mi evidence of tho progressive
and energetic spirit of the-people it need
only be cited that in establishing their public
works thoy brought the water over thirty
miles to the place aud tho system for dis
tributing tho supply is of tho most approved
kind.
There has been one great drawback to tho
city for years, but tho piospects for doing
away with it aro of the most encouraging
character. For tho past five years there has
been much complaint by tho people against
tho smoke aiising from the smelters in tho
vicinity of the city. Various plans for abat
ing the nuisance have been suggested aud
finally one has been adopted. It provides
for the erection at each smelter of a steel
stack 500 feet high, which will throw the
smoke above the level of tho roofs in the
city.
Mining camp as Butto may be, Mr. Palmer
says that the boaiding accommodations to bo
secured there aro as good as any offered by
any statu in tho Union and at boardint
houses and hotels the host meals can bo so-
cuied for tv?enty-fivo cents.
The mines abouttho city aro very numerous
and the population is so dense that there aro
nUvays ten men on hand to fill a vacancy.
Tho mines aro conducted on very safe plans
aud all are well timbered, especially the
Parrott mines under Superintendent Tibbcy,
and these mines havo mora air to the foot
than any others in tho northwest. This it
their reputation throughout that section of
the country, and it is generally recognized
to bu duo to Mr. Tibbey's constant study of
plans for ventilation and the safely of the
men with regard to timbering.
Wood is the chief fuel at Butte and sells at
$G a cord for the fcoft material aud $0 for the
hard. Coal is not used oxtensively on ac
count of its cost and Pennsylvania anthra
cite leads in populniity aud piiee. It sells at
$18 per tun, while Bock Springs, Wyoming,
coal is sold at $13.
A flret-class shave costs 25 cents, but a
"coon" fcliavc, whicli is leceived at tho hands
of negmos, and consists of "two draws of tho
razor and a swipo with tho back of It" may
he had for ID cents, and "Dar you are, sah.
Nejtl"
Pennies aio curios at Butte. A five cent
piece is the lowest denomination of money in
use. Many people have been led to tho be
lief by stoiies of those who have returned
from there that beer is an exceptional bever
age. Such is not tho caso with Butte.
Eastern bier ii sold in all quantities and at C
oenla a glatc, but Wettern beer Is tho favorite
mid sells at two bits (2C cents) for two
glasses.
The gambling homos aro the curse of
Butte, but for the past four or five years the
peoplo have been trying to rid the town of
them by securing legislation and It is ex
jHieted that the peoplo will secure tho relief
at the next eewioii ot tho Legislature. The
city has an efficient paid police of about 110
men and one of tho best paid fire depart
nients in Hie Northwest. At tho recent
state fin tn en's contest tho Butto companies
carrltKl olT all tho prizes hut one and made a
world's recoid for fast time in getting to a
designated point and coupling hose.
There are many former Shcuaudoahltes in
Butte. John Davies, who graduated from tho
High School of town a few years ago and
taught school at Turkey Itun, has been there
uluut two years. He fecund a position as
sohool teacher in a tuburh called Burlington
at a Hilary cf D0 per month aud about two
weeks ago the School Board of Butte elected
him an owdstaut to tho superintendent of
sohools of that city at a salary of $120 per
month.
Joeph D. D.wis, father of the young man
just mentioned, and at one time Chief Bur
gess of Ginirdville, is doing well In Butte.
Ho has a good boot and thoo business and is
lnilldiii( up a largo trade. I'.van Davis, his
on. was a letter carrier for a time, hut sub
sequently secured n more lucrative position
under one of the express conijianles.
l(oleri Glover, formerly employed at
K -!' t's sioio here, is also holding a good
pomiion at Butle. Iju6ou I.imib, familiarly
ciiliil "Lout Lamb," Frank Mclntyrc, for
iucH er Kt flair, and Jnines Glover are also
doing well. Ijiuib aud Mclntyre aru prort
peel line,
v .UIjio Lloyd, who formctly operated the
"penitentiary" near Kohlnoor colliery, is
working nt tho Parrott mine and doing well.
Thomas, his son, who graduated from the
Business Collego in town, Is employed as
stenographer at the McDormott House, one of
Butte's leading hotels.
Harry Biles, who loft here about fifteen
years ago, is employed ns engineer at the
Gambctta mine, and John Stcadman, who
left here about four years ago, is Woiklng at
the Parrott mine. Stcadman met with an
accident last week by which his left shoulder
was dislocated. At last accounts ho was
recovering from tho injury.
James Laury, who will bo remembered as
nn old-time resident of this place, is also
employed at one of tho Butte mines.
Among tho Pennsylvaniaus Mr. Palmer
met whilo walking along ono of Butte's
sti cets recently was that well known char
acter of this town and Pottsvllle, "Charley"
Zuncs, who was struggling along with a grip
containing 5,000 cigars. Zuncs is building up
a trado among the Butto tobacco smokers.
Of tho many Specimens of minerals and
curios Mr. Palmer brought east with him
sovcral were tho gifts of an esteemed friend,
John Gilligan, notably several shells taken
out of a placer mlno in Summit county,
Colorado, which is situated about 10,000 feet
above tho level of the sea. Mr. Palmer also
highly ripzes a pieco of copper from the
Parrott smelter, given him by Superinten
dent Tibbcy.
Skin Diseases.
What spectacle is more disgusting than that
of a man or woman with a skin disease which
shows itself in pimples or blotches on hands,
arms, faco and neck? It is simply impure
blood. See what Brandreth'B Pills did for a
chronic caso:
Georgo Chapman, Pincening, Mich., says :
"For four years I was in tho Mounted In
fantry in tho U. S. Army, residing during
that time principally in Texas. Alo-O't all
of that time I had a chronic skin disease,
characterized by an eruption over tho entire
surface of my legs and tliiulis. arms and
chest. Tho doctors termed it eczema. I had
given up all hopes of ever boing cured, when
Braudrcth's Pills were recommended to me.
I concluded to try them, and I have thanked
God daih since then that I did so. I used
them for about three mouths, and by that
time, was completely cured and have nover
had any trouble sinco."
