This picture and poem were printed on an 20 inch by 18 inch silken cloth. It says "Happy New Year & Prosperous Butte" dedicated to the carriers (paperboys) with an 48 line poem in 1891 from The Butte Daily Miner.

June 13 is Miners Union Day. Honor those men who dug the ore and gave Butte its unique character. The World Museum of Mining is contributing to the celebration by offering free admission to the museum and Hell Roaring Gulch. They are also offering reduced underground tours $14.00 for adults; $12.00 for those 65 and older; and $10.00 for those age 5-17. They HIGHLY recommend making underground reservations in advance as the tours due tend to book. Reservations can be made at www.miningmuseum.org.

The old Butte High was located where Butte Central is today.

To all mothers, grandmothers, aunts, friends, neighbors and all who watch over children. HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY
