condition OF cleanliness and polish is
peculiar lot only to the counter, but all
heparaphernalia, including woodwork,
glassware and bottles in the saloon. Mr..
Todd keeps none but the best of liquors
and the best of cigars among his stock.

erages only when they are of superior
quality. Give him a call, and you will

ously received.

Main and BrOadaCay Streets,
This place of amusement was ORIGINAL
ly opened by Mr.. Taylor as a concert
saloon. The character of entertainment
given was such that his place was
nightly crowded with the intelligent
and higher classes of people in the city.
His performers consisted of the best
musical talent obtainable in the Terri
tory, and the tastes of his patrons from
the middle to the cultivated classes,
were alike gratitied, for his programmes
varied with selections from u "s0ng
and dance' to a Beethoven sonata. Mr..
Taylor assisted i'll person in entertaining
his auditors by playing familiar pieces
on his famous banjo, and singing songs,
(many of them his own composition),
which new failed to make the audience
wild with enthusiasm and clamorous in
their encores. After Mr.. Taylor's return
from a visit to the geysers, he realized
varied class of entertainment for the
public, and resolved upon giving per-
formances consisting of music, variety
and legitimate drama combined. Forth
with he had his place extended back
several feet, and rented a portion of
Loeber's Hall for Il dressing and wine
room. A stage was erected with all the
proper appointments, and a beautiful set
of scenery painted to decorate it. The
company, Including Mr.. Nutsen, the
famous female i~mpersonator), he OBJ
tanned from the coast to open his new
theatre, nightly drew crowded houses,
standing room being alta premium,
and every available article that could be
used as a pedestal was appropriated by
those standing behind to assist them to
look over the heads of those on the
raised seats. To better accommodate the
.fastidious, Mr.. Taylor had two private

other facilities for doing a general blacksmith
ing business, formerly owned by Mr.. E. King.
Since Mr.. Mcmillan has taken control of the

continually increasing, until now, the fires in
both FORCES in his shop are to be seen con-
stantly burning. The amount of repairing
and horse shoing done in his shop is not ex-
ceeded by that done in any other shop in the
county. Mr.. Mcmillan is a Scotchman and

full line of doors, sash and mouldings. Thew
also do planning, matching and turning to
order. Messrs. L.avell Bros. keep employed
on an average seventy-fve men. The large
number of buildings now going up in Butte
and the increasing amount of work going on
in the mines, necessitates a large stock Of
dressed and rough lumber to supply the de-
mand. Thu greater portion of this lumber is
furnished by Messrs. Laveil Bros. From
this firm the Alice Company received the
lumber and immense timbers for timbering
their mine and building their mill. Most of
the lumber used comes from trees felled in
the neighborhood of Butte. The large tim
bers are freighted from the vicinity of Deer
Lodge. Messrs. Lavell Bros. have their
business so systematized, and have SO many
hands employed that they can furnish on
short notice the largest possible order for
lumber and timbers.

DONNELL, CLARK d LARAB1E, Bank

DONNELL, CLARK d LARABIE, Bank
erS.
The banking house of Donnell, Clark
and Larabie is the pioneer banking es-
adjustment of Butte, and also of Deer
Lodge county. The firm first COM
menced business in the spring of 1870
at Deer Lodge, where they still have a
branch house. In February, 1877, they
opened an office in Butte, in the build
ing on the corner occupied by d. J.
WEIGH d Co.. At that time one man
working a few hours each day, trans
acted and entered their business upon
the books. Now, the firm occupies the
large brick building, built by them
selves, on the corner of Main and Broad
way streets, and five men, who work
until after 10 o'clock every night are
employed to transact and enter up the
business. The building is divided into
three departments-the main banking
room, vault room and private office of
Mr.. w. A. Clark. The fixtures of the
main office are principally of walnut,
highly polished those in the private
Office are simply a rich carpet, desk, a
few chairs and one solitary frame on
tanning the pictures of Mr.. Clark's two
children, which is placed on the north
wall. The walls and ceiling ofthe vault
are two and one-half feet in thickness,
and the floor has a solid foundation of
stone five and a half feet deep. The
door and combination lock is of Her.
rings d Co.'S. make. The inside con-
tains pigeon-holes, shelves for books,
and one of Herrings & Co.'S. improved
fire and burglar-proof safes. This safe is
made of layers of steel, alternately soft
and hard, to prevent breaking the one or
drilling through the other, and the bolts
OF the lock revolve so as to prevent be-
ing sawed or filed. The lock is a double
combination. Two men carry the COM
bination-each carries one of the combi-
nations and is unconscious of that car
ried by the other. Should access be
surreptitously gained to the vault, and
even the combination forced from one of
the parties, it would be useless without
knowing the combination held by the
other. Messrs. Donnell, Clark q Lara
bic do general banking business and
draw exchange on all the principal cities
of world. Some idea may be gained
as to the extent of their business, from
the fact that during the past year they
have sold exchange to the amount of
over II and one-half million dollars,
and carry a line of deposits amounting
to between three and four hundred
thousand dollars. The resident partner
of this banking establishment, Mr.. w.
A. Clark, is one of the proprietors of
the Colorado and Montana smelling
works, and also the Dexter quartz mill,
the Moulton, Original and many other
of the most valuable mining properties
in this camp. The accumulations that
these mines will eventually bring to the
wealth of Mr.. Clark is almost bewilder-
ing to contemplate. All these enter
prises are tributary to the business of the
bank.
