BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — A fire gutted the historic M&M Cigar Store in Butte early Friday, taking with it 131 years of the Mining City's history. “It’s a total loss. No question,” said Jim Merrifield, a battalion chief with the Butte-Silver Bow Fire Department. No one was injured and the cause of the fire is under investigation. The fire was reported at 3 a.m., and responding firefighters said there were 12-foot (3.6-meter) flames coming from the roof. A 2019 photo of the M&M bar sign in Butte, MT.
