The Butte daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1885-18??, 1886-01-01

| The law of Congress that all uartz
claims unrepresented for one year should
revert to the United States was about to
90 into effect. Under the same statute
the LIST of January, 1873, was the date
under which un-represented claims
could be relocated. In the fall of 1874. W.
l.. Farlin, one of Butte's earliest resi-
dents, who had been absent for some
time suddenly returned. During his
absence he had been in Idaho and
while there he had learned the value Of
the ores of the black lodges, specimens
Of which he had taken with him. On
his return Mr.. Farlin visited the hills FOR
the supposed purpose of prospecting ut
he said nothing, but on the last night Of
the year he quietly placed his re-loca-
other mines, that have since proved
valuable. The news that the black
lodges of Butte were rich in silver spread
with wonderful r,pility and people be-
gan to flock in from all quarters. Old
claims were relocated and new ones
made, among the latter being the La
Plata, Burlington, Late Acquisition, the
Alice, Great Republic and many other
producers. The result was inevitable.
The town began to populate rapidly. In
1867 Butte hal population If $50, ut the
end Of 1878, it hal 1900; III 1850, 5000,
and tie present population j. estimated
at p 900.
In the summer Of 1873 John Howe 4
CO. began the erection Of the Centennial
mill, the first one, the Dexter mill Of ten
stamps, having been completed, and
these were followed in rapid succession
by the splendid mills and smeltcrs ofthe j..
Parrot, the Colorado, the Alice, the Lex
ington, the Moulton, the Montana, Bell,
Clark, and oilers, to say nothing Of the
magnificent Anaconda.

BUTTE CITY.
A View Of the Silver City Of Montana Its
Location.

Butte City proper is situated on a
gently sloping hill side with southern
aspect, and is surrounded with beautiful
scenery. The name is derived from a
mount now known as the "Big Butte"
which is located just north of the origin
al town. The main range of the Rocky
Mountains are only about ten milesaway,
and they make Il curve from east to
south and then west, leaving circular
basin, bordercd by foot hills. Half u
mile distant is the creek, and the town
being located over one hundred feet
above it, the people are freed from all
miasmatic influences, and enjoy the
bracing mountain air. The declivity of
the hill side on which it is built make
natural drainage, and thus Butte is one
of the healthiest cities in the world.
The first settlers of Butte were G. O.
Humphrey and William Allison, who
located in 1884, and took up the Missoula
lode and organized the Missoula Com
pany. Dennis Leary and H. H. Porter
soon followed. In 1854 Charles Murphy,

Walkeyvjlle.

Just two miles north Of Butte and al
most Immediately adjoining the Lexing-
ton, Alice and Monlton mines is tile
Village Of Walkcrvillc, which boasts Of 4
population Of 1900, composed almost
entirely Of the employees Of the mines.
It was only few years ago composed of
a few struggling cabins, but it now boasts
Oft number Of fine business houses. and
numerous tasty and well appointed
dwellings. There is good hotel kept
by Joseph Annear, and large general
merchandise houses under proprietor
ship of Caplice & McCune, Dennis Dris-
coll, L. w. Foster and Joseph Broughton,
large boarding houses kept by Mrs. King,
Mrs. Stack and f. D. Sullivan, several
saloons, a large butchershop and market,
shoe store, barber shop, smiths shop
and other industries There is also
branch post office under the charge of
Daniel O'Grady.

The placers here were discovered in
1870, by Joseph Cowan, and almost inn
medlately thereafter the construction of
bitches was begun. The first mining
companies were Adriance 4 Co., Joseph
Cowan 4 Co., Kelly Dewitt Il Co.
Philip Mcliovern and John A[cDermott.
In the year 1869, tile Stewart Brothers
and keyser 4 Cowan purchased the

South Butte,

The town of South Butte occupies the
basin at the southern slope of the city
proper and is about one mile distant
from the main street. Thus far it is ac-
cesslble by two roads but the progressive
people of the new settlement are clam
oring for more facilities and demanding
that the streets of Butte shall be con.
tinued and cut through until they reach
the depot. South Butte sprang into ex-

. Phillips aulch.

This point was discovered by John
Phillips September, 1869, and is located
two and one-half miles west Of Butte.
Forty claims were entered by the
Recorder William Haynes. The
Humphrey Brothers began work on the
cut and tunnel of the water ditch i'm.
mediately after the claims were made.

dance-house on richer return than was
made by the best paying mine in the
district. 1t was an era Of prosperity, and
there was work for all, wages being from
y; to s. per day.
In October, 1864, new district was
formed in the lower part Of the g,llcl,
and designated Summit Mountain dis
trict, Will, W. X. Cogswell as Recorder.
Silver Bow soon became town. Dur
ing the winter Of lSG4-G5, it was Il lively
place and many lodcs were recorded. In
the spring Of 1863, Summit Mountain dis
trict was divided, and claims Nos. - to
BIO were formed into independence dis
trirt. During the winter Of lSti4-'i5,
while stores We're being started in Silver
Bow, Ford 4 Dresser established IL store
ut Butte. Governor Sidney Edgerton
appointed Il. q. Humphreys Recorder
Of the new district. lie was succeeded
by +. y. Lewis, with G. l.. Irvine, Pro-
bate Judge; Fred. Burr, Sheriff; Louis
McMurtry, County Treasurer.
1t will d" remembered that Silver Bow
was still in Deer Lodge County. The
first court in the county was held at Sill
yer Bow, July 10, 1865, Hon. l.. p. Will
lston presiding; G. +. Irvine, Clerk Of
the Court; u. B. Phelps, District Attor-
ncy; !. II. Burr, Sheriff, and George NJ.
Pinncy, L. $. Marshal. The first polit-
ical convention in tic county was
Democratic, and was held 1T Silver Bow,
the latter part Of June, 1865, with James
Stuart, Chairman, and Robert Wells,
Secretary. The first election was held
September l, 1865, and by popular vote
the county seat was removed to Deer
Lodge. The decline Of the mining inter-
est in Silver Bow began in 1870. Even
the revival Of 1915 did not strike the
pioneer village of the county, so that
now the population is limited to SO
small number that the ,nerators for
the &. 5. census Of 1880 make no mem
ton Of he village.
Under authority Of all act passed by
thu first Legislature, approved February
6, 1860, Il. Anderson, F.. Ruff, II. II. Cogs-
well, j. Nelson, J. II. Brown, JOS Clark,
X. n. Hill, q. T.. Irvine, Il. F. Lewis and
Granville Stuart, were empowered to lay
out the town Of Silver Bow. In those
days it was growing and prosperous.
Now it's glory has departed; hut for the
sake of the important part it played III
laying the foundation of Butte, the above
history is essential.
To-day it has but few inhabitants,
and its business is represented by
l.. w. Foster 4 Co., and Felix O'Neil,
general merchandise; Chris. Nisslcr,
brewery and saloon; James Pace, saloon;
VIM. Stolte, hotel and saloon; VIM.
Thompson, blacksmith; Tofeur 4 Mather,
butchers, and the Powder Manufacturing
Company. The village still boasts of a
postotficc, and +. NJ. Radcliffe is the
postmaster.

comparative importance Of the

try. But no great array of figures
is needed to satisfy the farmer Of
moderate means. that hog raising

The greatest drawback in. swine
breeding is the liability to losses
from the epidemic diseases which

from these losses and still come
out ahead of even the fast horse

that hs had followed the showing
Of horses at fairs for many years
though from a lock of sufficient
capital, not as largely as he would
have liked. At the same time he
kept a lot of good hogs at home
and immediately on returning from
the fairs in the fall, he had to sell
his hogs to pay his horse showing
expenses. Since then he handles
fewer horses and more hogs. Now
instead Of standing near the foo

Mr.. ChiIds, Wise Decision.

Mr.. George W. Chids, the millionaire
proprietor OF the Philadelphia Ledger, il a
very modest man. A great many of bis
fellow citizens want him to become a can
didate for Mayor of Philadelphia. and.
although the city has a Republican ma.
jority OF $4,000 and Mr.. Guilds is a Demo-
crat, there is hardly a sha dOw Of a doubt
that be would be elected, so highly is ne
thought Of by his fellow citizens, particu-
larly the workingmen who regard him at
their friend. MIR. Childs, however, says
that be doesn't want the office, and that
he thinks he can serve the public better
out OF the Office than IN it.. There is be-
lief that a movement something like the
George movement will be started In Phil
adelphia. and the desire is to defeat II by
putting Mr.. Childs forward AS a candi-
date, just as the George movement was
defeated in New York by the nomination
OF Mr.. Hewitt.
II Is doubtful II Mr.. Cbilds would be a
success as Mayor OF Pailade phia. 1t is
abofbee that Is bui dehed with a great
deal Of bard work aud many annoya nces.
Mr.. Chids has reached that period Of lite

possible. The mayOralty would add moth
