Forty Years a Citizen of Butte Honored Old Timer
J Chauvin a longtime Butte resident marks forty years since his arrival in the camp near 1881. He recalls Buzzard's hotel, Brooks lodging, rough streets, and the early mining era with miners, gamblers, and prospecting dreams. He still hosts a quarter stake in the Senator Edmunds property and remains a Standard subscriber.
