Butte City proper is bounded on the
north by Copper street, on the east by Ari-
IONA street, on the south by Gold street
and on the west by Jackson street. With
in this area OF a little over $50 acres, there
have been erected during the present sea-
son, or are now in course OF construction,
about 100 buildings. These buildings, to-
gether with improvements made upon
others, and the cost OF public and street
works, nave necessitated the expenditure
of nearly $500, 600. The cost OF the court
house, (say $3.50 OOO) which was com,
menced last year and finished this year, and
the cost OF two other buildingsoColonel
Thornton's and E. king's-which were COM
menced last year and completed the present
season, are included in this estimate. Com
petent parties estimate the number OF
buildings erected east of the city limits and
in the vicinity OF the depot during the
season at $50. Nearly all of these are frame
and on an average cost about $500 each,
or q total OF $4,000. North OF the city
limits, including Centerville and Walker
vile, about the same amount has been ex-
pended in buildings and improvements on
buildings, bringing the grand total up to
nearly $3.50, 900, which have been expended
during the year 1885 in buildings within a
radius OF less than one mile from the center
of the city. This fact stands as evidence OF
not only the prosperity of Butte and vicin-
ity, but OF the abiding faith which all our
citizens have in the sta bility and richness
of this great mineral center.
In explanation OF the following list OF
building improvements it should be stated
that the figures in nearly every instance
may be regarded as absolutely correct. They
were obtained from the owners or con-
tractors of the buildings and are below
rather than above the cost OF the buildings.
The dwellings being erected for Messrs.
James Talbot and n. B. Ringeling appear
in the list, although they are just outside
the western limits of the city. The word
street. is not employed in giving the name
of one. Contractors names are gwen and
when owners have built their own dwellings
