Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief History of Butte, Montana: The World's Greatest Mining Camp, Including a Story of Extraction and Treatment of Ores From Its Gigantic Copper Properties
Some writers studiously adhere to the path of truthfulness; others assume that truthfulness is the last element required. The result can be but one. The average mind is confused and clouded. The resources of the country are admitted, but the state of society is too unattractive. Large opportunities are conceded, but it means a divorcement from all civilizing in?uences to grasp them. The delightful healthfulness of its climate is recognized, but the weather is too rigor ous. Educational institutions are crude, plodding, and partake nothing of the higher standards.
