mental numbers were furnished gratis?
That the chief sport was "bucking the
tiger in a dozen gambling houses? That
there were scarce q ~half-dozen perma-
nent houses in the little mining camp,
every one being impressed with the idea
that Butte can't last more than 20
years?
These things meant nothing to the
element OF which Henry Muntzer is a
survivor. They expected to find things
different in the west and would have
been disappointed if they we're not rad
ically so. Butte was Butte. There was
lots of work and plenty of money with
not a single Mister in Silver Bow coun-
ty. Jack was as good as his temporary
master. Next week Jack might strike it
rich and his present-day master would
then be glad to work for Jack.
The Price OF "Suds"
Beer sold for S14 o barrel. with Boze-
man barley costing the brewer $3.50 per
hundred and hops selling from @l5 to
$50 per hundredweight. Beer sold over

the bar. When he was broke his credit
was still good.
Henry Muntzer has seen Butte come
up out of the mud" He has witnessed
the change from shacks built on string

He has seen a steam tramway change to
an electric railway system, has seen the
telephone and the incandescent light,
the electric cooking range and various
other modern c~onveniences supplant the
old methods. Notwithstanding Butte
marvellous growth and her present pros
perity, Henry Muntzer shakes his Asa

ternity by saying, I'm bygone times we
brewed our beer. Nowadays they merely
mix It,"
Beer, from the Muntzer standpoint,
must not be hurried. The changes must
take place in a leisurely manner. "Of
course" he says, brewing in my day was
as legitimate an occupation as running
a bank or a four mill. We didn't have
to keep one eye on the vat and the other
on the door"
