HOTEL THORNTON
The Leading Hostelry of Butte a
Modern and Complete Hotel.

Butte is fortunate in possessing an up
to-date hotel like the Hotel Thornton. The
building is handsome and modern and IL
as attractive within as without. 1t has
five stories and basement. The office is
on the main floor and is finished with tile
floors and wainscot and golden oak wood
work and pane1led ceiling. On this floor
are the cafe, barber shop and buffet. -
The four upper floors are devoted to
guest rooms These are sunaptuously fin,
ished in golden oak and with hardwood
floors, while the furniture is of the same
oak. mahogany, and bedsteads of brass
and iron. Rugs rather than carpets cover
the floors. Two-thirds of the rooms in
the hotel are supplied with baths, and all
have hot ard cold water. On each floor
are two public baths. AS the building is
lighted on all four SIDES all the rooms are
well ventilated and light.
In the basement are bowling alleys and
billiard rooms. r The hotel has an excel
lent heating plant and is lighted by cleo
tricity throughout.
It is managed by w. D. Thornton on the

The Facts and
Figures.

Montana is a. state Of vast mountains,
expansive plains, fertile valleys, numerous
rivers, varied resources and magnificent
distances. Its mountains are rich in min
erals, it's plains support millions Of cattle
and sheep its rivers have enough surplus
water to irrigate an empire. Naturally
the people who have grown up in such a
region where all natures work is on a lib
eral plan, are liberty-loving, sturdy, intel
ligent and progressive. No state in the
union boasts a population more distinc-
lively American, more patriotic cor moro
Independent. 1t is doubtful whether any
state has a greater per capita of wealth,
its assessed property valuation being 1854.
500, 900, while it's population, according to
the last census, is but 243, 500.
Carved originally out Of the then terri
tory of Idaho, Montana began its, history
as a great mining state with the startling
discovery of gold in Alder gulch, in which
the far famed Virginia City, the home of
the "Vigiantes," was located. Alder gulch
produced from 1852 to 1855 inclusive, the
almost inconceivable sum Of $500, 0O0,0 900
in gold dust. More or less gold has been
produced there ever since, and several
dredges built within the past five years are
producing the yellow metal from the rich
sands near the mouth of the gulch, while
the mountains to the north are yielding
still more of the precious stuff from the
quartz mines. Following the Alder gulch
excitement in '62 came the stampedes TO

The quartz mining era began on an ap-
,rec,able scale in 1876, at Butte, where
the great silver and copper lodges cross
ing the hill north of the townsite In four
vast ore channels, with many off-shoots
gave promise of the wonderful future
which history has since verified. From
4he surface of the hill high-grade silver

collected and shipped by wagon to Cor

when considered commercially and indie

of the most important cities in all the

Its permanency is assured. When it's
people ceased constructing little frame
shacks and began to build substantial
houses Of brick and stone; when the most
r-sighted of it's business men began
to invest fortunes in the construction of
handsome business blocks and residences;
when, in brief, they began to show conf
dence enough in the future to prove that
they themselves intended to spend their
lives here there is no room for doubt
as to the abiding faith of the people of
Butte in it's future.
That faith has been shown during the
last few years in many ways. The lines
that marked the former limits of the resi-
dence portion of the city have been ex-
tended in all directions, hundreds of hand
some homes have gone up and Butte en-

The money on deposit in the banks OF
Butte amounts to more than twelve mill

reached the enormous aggregate of $780,
900, 900. This statement is based largely
on official figures, verified by the reports
of mining companies and approved by citi-
zens who have kept accurate though not
official accounts of the output and the
changing prices Of copper and silver. At
present the mines of Butte are yielding
about 49, 900 tons of ore per day, employing
directly 200 men, and supporting a pop
ulation of 60, 900 in Butte alone. Though
the district contains 1000 patented min
ing locations, only about 100 mines are
being actively worked. These vary in
depth Of operation from 200 to $500 feet,
and supply with copper-silver ore four
shelters in Butte, one at Great Falls and
one at Anaconda. These smelters employ
a total of 5000 men, while probably $500
more are at work in the forests, coal mines
and quarries of the state, so that, in all,

rapid, is established upon a substantial
foundation and is prosperous because it
has fairly earned prosperity.
The site of Butte is on the gently slop-
ing side of a mountain, on the north of a
beautiful valley and commanding mag
niicent view of one of the most fertile
regions of the state. The city has an ele-
walton Of 5,75S feet above tide water.
Two miles to the east is the main range
of the Rockies; on the west the huge,
isolated butte or hill from which the city
takes it's name.
The climate is remarkably healthy, the
winters preserving a golden mean be-
tween the bitter cold weather Of the north
and the enervating climate of the south.
The death rate is the lowest Of any city
in the union. It is an ideal climate for
those suffering from lung troubles.
Butte has a delightful society, capable
of satisfying everybody's taste. If you
wish to meet with refined and cultivated
people, college-bred and broadened by
travel, they are here and happy to know
you. If you like plain, common, everyday
folk, whose hearts are perhaps better
than their manners, they are numerous
and sure to be friendly.
Butte has twelve handsome churches
which are the pride Of its people. Every
denomination is represented. Butte has
one of the best equipped libraries in the
whole northwest. The building cost $780,.
900 and contains 10000 volumes. It is
vel patronized and is supported by city
tax of one mill on the dollar.

duction. Butte stood alone, but still it

The other mining districts mentioned

various other blocks in the city costing
from between 100000 and $4,000. The
size and permanent appearance of the
structures are indicative of the wealth
and prosperity Of the city. Many of the
residence buildings are the finest in the
west The city is rapidly extending in all
directions.
On the future Of Butte who shall speak?
In it are bound up possibilities hard to
of the Butte district for the next quarter
of century. That is the Judgment of
SOME of the greatest biologists and min
ing experts, founded on a thorough and
very impartial examination of the ore de-
posits of the district, and of the men who
have invested their millions in the mines.
Twenty years ago the great Anaconda
mine was an insignificant prospect"
while the other great producers of the
present day were almost unknown The
mines of the Lake Superior district have
been worked continuously for more than
half century and are yet great producers
with Indication of their continuing so for
the next half century. There the mines
are developed to a depth Of over 5000

feet Here in Butte the deepest shafts
have only reached a depth of 1900 feet.
It has been demonstrated at every copper
mine in the district that the ore improves
and is enriched with depth. This has
been shown at the Anaconda and Boston
& Montana pl orerties, where millions rof
out during the past year. In not single
copper mine in the district is there the
slightest indication to show that the bot
tom Of the ore deposits has been reached.
