and spent the afternoon and evening in
taking In the sights of the larger addi-
tion-of Deadwood. The similarity which
exists between Butte and Deadwood in
more ways than one and the fact that
there are a large number of old Monta-
mans in the party established the Wis
ttors on a friendly footing at once with
every one they met. and they felt
thoroughly at home before they had
been in town an hour. A Dakota big
zard which they brought along with
them delayed the arrival of the North
ern Pacific train until / o'clock and,
owing to the uncertainty as to the time
OF the arrival, the reception committee
appointed by the chamber OF commerce
was not on hand when 1t pulled in.
Several members of the committee ar
rived few minutes later, however.
and the visitors were escorted to the
Butte hotel. where lunch was waiting
for them. After luch some of them
were taken up to the mines on the hill
and given an idea of Butte's mineral
resources. while others walked around
the city or remained at the hotel and
talked over interesting and romantic
incidents of the early days with old
time friends.
Later ON, when they had all reassem-
the clubs and extended their acquaint-
anceship under the most favorable cir
cumstances. Last evening they at
tended the theater as the guests of
Manager John Mcguire, and were aft
erwards entertained in handsome style
at the Silver Bow and Irish-American
clubs. Before going to the theater an
informal reception was held in the no
tel lobby and the honored guests met
nearly all of Butte's prominent bust
ness men. Those of the party who had
never been in Butte before were sur
prised at it's size and wealth and hustle
and were most favorably impressed
with it, and they all spoke in the high
est terms of their reception and enter
tainment.
The visitors are bright, brainy and
hustling lot of gentlemen, with the
geniality and open-heartedness which
constitute the distinguishing features
OF Western men, and particularly those
of the great mining camps, and they
made many warm friends among the
congenial spirits of Butte. They are

and will spend the afternoon in visit

O'Clock for Helena, where they will

Messrs. Herman. wyttenbach and
Starr are old Montana men and they
encountered many old-time friends in
Butte. One of Mr.. STAIRS friends met
him on the street yesterday afternoon
and handed him a copy of a Deer
Lodge newspaper published, rs years
ago which contained an account of an
interesting experience that he and H.
A. D'Acheul had in making a trip
from Deer Lodge to Helena. Mr.. Starr
was mayor OF Deadwood for 10 years.
Mr.. Wyttenbach worked several claims
In Dublin gulch In the old palmy days
and over near Pipestone ne pointed out
the locations of three or four stamp
mills which he built in that district,
which have since crumbled into dust.
Judge" Carnplin. as he Is Familiarity
known, Is the mayor of Newcastle,
Wyo., and he takes a great pride in
that growing little city. Newcastle
furnishes coal for 5000 miles Of the
Burlington system and coke burning Is
becoming one of Its chief industries.
Three or four carloads of coke are
shipped daily and more ovens are be-
ing built to supply the rapidly increas-
ing demand. Judge Camplin says
that the Newcastle coke is fully as
good as that made at Connellsville
and he wants to see II introduced into
Montana. BY using the Newcastle coke
Montana people would not only effect
a great saving in mileage but would
have the satisfaction of patronizing a
free silver instead of a goldbug COM
munity.
