Boulder Thompson of Montana Builds Virginia City Library
Colonel William 8 Thompson native to Montana plans a public library for Virginia City costing about 20000 dollars on the site of his old home. A museum room will house relics of Virginia City's past as dignitaries and New York donors may attend the dedication. Thompson rose from a Butte real estate firm to major copper fortunes via Ely Nevada mining and Gunn, then retired. He later aided Belgian relief, joined Red Cross work, financed a Bolshvik propaganda effort in Russia, and earned the nickname Boulder Thompson among Montana friends for his trout fishing.
