SHALL BUTTE GROW :?
Reasons Why the City Should be Enlarged
"A Woman Reads n Proper ecture on
the Subject

+ Editor Miner-In brief motel addressed
you a few days ago referred to the needs OF
Butte as city. Butte stands to-day pre-
, eminently the richest mining camp in the
= world. Her people are not poor, strug ling
pioneers as they were twenty years ago.
There is assured wealth to-day that were
then only prospects. Railroads have taken
! the place Of OK teams; steam and ma
chinery have taken the place OF physical
and hand labor; brain and capital are to a
degree changing hands with sinew and pick,
sufficient to tighten the labor OF the mining
and laborjng class. All this t.nds to make
this country more desirable place OF resi-
dence and less labOrious to gain footing
on a substantial basis to live comfortably.
Viewing the past and it's results looking
over the presen: needs and opportunities
for improvements, contemplating the pOssI-
[ bic future OF this Territ ory, it is time the
people were arising from their present
comatuse condition. Helena Bozeman,
nor any other Of t ft camps tuwns have
the natural resources for substantial de-
velopment that Butte has to-day, and it is
high time to awaken to the necessity of do
ing something for the future prosperity OF
Butte and her people One thing to begin
with should be a final settlement of the
| SmOkehOuse mining clam and all other
doubtful titles. When this is accom-
plishel and assured one step is taken
toward a real estate boom, aud if Butte's
mllliunaircs will next tax" the Initiation
toward viIring one OrtwO first class hotels
that would pay a big interest on the in
ve,tments and with rcincUrprrution which

GENERAL ;HAS. $ WARREN.
Mr. Warren, who has just returned from
d trip to Washington and Idaho icrritu-
| ries, was approached upon the subject OF
| rencorporatiOn. The conversation was
not an extended one, but during its brief
| limits be found time TO heartily declare
| himself i'll favor OF the props stion. He
| stated that Butte Shoui,l be n"c cf the best
| towns in the Northwest, and that it crul,!
never reach its legitimate proportions un-
| til the people who are interested took hold
| Of the matter aud Increased its
limits that it would embrace
sufficient ground upon which to
build city. The question Of titles
! he regarded an excuse rather than Il
good reason why improvements SHOULD not
| be arIle instead OF the exception Mr.. Var
| rem also advcrted to the lack OF unity OF
! interest and scntimentunOn h" part o. the
