Butte, Mont., Dee. 12.—The last
24 hours have been the coldest
and brought more suffering in
Butte than any similar period
siuce 1889, when official records of
weather were first tabulated in
this community.
While the official government
thermometer, in a sheltered cor
ner on the roof of a bank register
ed 28 below today, other equally
reliable records run from 35
low at the Montana power station
at the High Ore mine, to 50 below
in exposed sections on the south
side.
The previous low mark for the
mercury in Butte since 1880 was
35 below on January 28, 1015.
Since October l'J of this year,
51 inches of stiow have fallen.
The recent snowfall for .'if! hours
totalled 16 inches.
And still the coal refuses to
