Hickey Brothers and the Anaconda Mine Legacy
Edward and Michael Hickey moved to Butte in 1876 locating two major mines, the St Lawrence and Anaconda. Edward named St Lawrence after New York’s county after a military recall of anaconda imagery. Marcus Daly later owned the mines as the brothers sold out, with the Anaconda becoming a famed producer and the city growing around it.
