In Popular Culture; Film and Television
Route 66; Season 2, Episode 1 "A Month Of Sundays" (September 22, 1961). Tod and Buz, in Butte, Montana working as laborers in a copper mine, meet a beautiful girl at their rooming house. She's a local girl who made it big in NY but mysteriously came home despite being the star of a current Broadway hit. Buz quickly falls in love and becomes serious, but Tod knows her dark secret. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.237.81.222 (talk) 07:05, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In the novel titled “Does Anyone Speak English?” (in Serbian Cyrillic written "Зна ли ко енглески") by Serbian journalist Dragan Tepavcevic (originally from Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, but from 1998 he lives in Australia), chapter XIV set in 1907 in cooper mine in Butte, Montana.

Historic population statistics
Checked the sources:

Munday, 2005: "Butte Mining, 1864 – 2005: A brief cultural and environmental history," found this sentence: "There is no published documentation to support anecdotes that Butte’s population approached 100,000"

Gibson, 2016: "Was Butte's population really 100,000 during its heyday?", found this sentence: "There also exists an official US Census estimate for 1917, which lists Butte (city) at 93,981, and Silver Bow County at 36,212."

A 1918 Census Bureau bulletin fails to support this. It includes a 1917 population estimate for Butte (Table 5, p. 20) that is much lower: 44,057. It does not include a figure for Silver Bow County.

(Census Bureau Bulletin 138 (published 1918), "Estimates of Population of the United States, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917, including results of the state enumerations made in 1915.

(URL: https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1910/bulletins/demographics/138-estimates-of-population-of-us-1910-1917.pdf)

Gibson either used a different Census Bureau publication - or used a secondary source that stated incorrect (or purposely-inflated) figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A1F0:BD0:1400:5FA4:CD69:FA01 (talk) 23:03, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Any idea why the "Historical population" table gives a 1920 census figure of 41,611 but footnote b says 60,000? GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:41, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no clue. The footnote references a book I don't have access to. The history table references a landing page at the Census website, and I don't know how to find the detailed history it means to reference. This is the problem with references that aren't carefully curated; they're not readily verifiable and articles end up with discrepancies or information that's incorrect altogether. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:11, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
