SQUATTER TITLES
DOWN TO DATE IN BUTTE

Soon it will be 81 years since the day,
easily recalled by many of Buttes old
timers. when every man who could read
and who was resident of what then
was Deer Lodge county, was enjoying
hearty laugh over a rapid-fire
letter that appeared in a Salt Lake
newspaper. The letter carried the sig
nature of General Charles S. Warren.
1t was in that versatile gentleman's
best rhetoric, and it was panegyric
on the future greatness and glory of
Butte In truth, all that Butte really
had to go on. in those days in the late
'70s, was it's future. 1t was hard for
nation and rocky roads led to it. But
not many months prior to the War
rem letter, titles had been compare
tivelywell Strengthened out, the Parrot
was shipping ore. Marcus DAILY was
operating at the Alice properties, things
were moving, and General Warren felt
descend upon him an inspiration to let
the world know what was going on in
the region of Silver Bow creek.
This letter was as well-sustained
bit of ford prophecy as ever went on
file in the archives of townsite adula-
ton; one Of these days the Standard
will reprint it. In its grandiloquent
exaltation of the Butte that was to be,
it was not below the level of Proctor
Knots portrayal of Duluth, the
Zenith City of the Unsalted Sea-" The
Standard has always understood that
this contribution to the Salt Lake
newspaper was the first in a series of
articles which General Warren had
planned for publication in the Utah
press. However that may be, this one
letter stands solitary in it's uniqueness
General Warren didn't make it
series. Long afterward he said to
. friend: 1T is true that I intended to
write a series of letters about Butte.
But after the fellows around town had
read the first one and made their COM
ments somehow I got the idea that I
had overplayed my hand. The first
was the last-yet I have always cher
ished the belief that, for fact, the
first one was a daisy
1t All Proved True.
General Warren is no longer a resi-
dent of Butte, but there the splendid
city stands to-day, and the gratifying
fact is that essentially all the bright
predictions he made, and which passed
at the time as the vagaries of an ire
pressible Observation-Disclosures these
all have come true, and Butte moves
along now in its thrift and wealth and
growth and municipal proportions just
as if it We're all a matter of course. It
is not the matter of chiefest import
ance that General Warren's rhetoric is
vindicated; his prophecy stands fulfill
ed, and there is not in the records of
municipal history a city whose ad-
vance, compared with Butte's. has
been more steadfast. more gratifying or
more marked, when measured by the
test of dollars and cents.
About % years ago, Butte's real estate
was brought up to the beginnings at
least of an orderly arrangement, under
the operation of the now well-known
law providing for annual work and the
like on mining claims. Many claims
