Butte and Her Mines by Katherine Lyden, 1900s Saga
The piece traces Butte's rise from early placer mining in 1864 to a copper boom led by W J Farlin and later W A Clark. It notes deposits at Parrot lode, Silver Bow and the Missoula Jade claim, mills, smelting in Great Falls and Anaconda, and copper becoming the city’s economic base with 150 mines in operation and 10,000 workers.
