BUTTE, June 9.-The Twin Cities, as
st. Paul and Minneapolis are Familiarity
known, are well represented to-day In the
greatest mining camp on earth" In
number and importance the excursion Is
only second TO that from Bozeman yester-
day, and the greatest interest is felt i'm II,
as Il will certainly prove one of the best
advertisements Butte has ever received.
The interest is ~reciprocated, the visitors
are fully as much impressed and pleased
with what they have seen here as are
their entertainers pleased TO have
them as their guests.
The train which brought the excur-
sionists was delayed considerably, and
arrived about an hour late. Carriages
were at the depot in waiting, and, as soon
as possible, the visitors were taken in
charge by the board of trade reception
committee and driven up own The first
thing on the programme was To take them
to the Alice, Lexington, Silver Bow and
Parrot mines and reduction works,
through which they were taken under the
guidance of Messrs. Hall, Rueger, Tibbey
and Grant, the superintendent. Every
thing of interest was pointed out and ex-
planned 10 the visitors, and that they were
surprised would hut express their real
establishment mildly. knocked out"
would describe IL better.
After having seen the process of mining
and reducing silver and copper ore. the
excursionists scattered themselves about
the city and viewed the sights.
Those of their number engaged in the
wholesale trade took advantage of the OPP
p%ortunity To make themselves acquainted
with the merchants, and il is safe to say
that the jobbing trade of st. Paul and
Minneapolis will not be any loser thereby.
Deviating from the original programme
