Second copy of Standard tale marks early Butte days
John A. Herron, a longtime Butte worker from New York, recalls decades ago chasing the first issues of the Standard. He arrived here around 42 years ago, worked for Marcus Daly at the Alice mine, and spent most of his career with Daly properties and Anaconda ventures. Herron now serves at the Warehouse, Tramway, and has rarely left the Butte hills, aside from brief moves to Carroll and a New York visit. He still regards the Bell mine as one of the camp’s best prospects.
