Beaverhead Mines Chronicle: Hecla Group and Bannack District Prospects
The Hecla Consolidated Mining company, formed in 1877 in Indianapolis, grew into a major operation under H Knippenberg, yielding over 1.5 million dollars in dividends and expanding with a 100-ton concentrator and enhanced smelter. In Bannack and Bald Mountain districts, Golden Leaf and other mines produced rich ore, with plans for a new wagon road, a large mill, and extensive placers. Prospectors, ore bodies, and new tunnels across Lion Mountain, Cleopatra, Polaris, and Lost Cloud districts mark a flourishing, evolving Montana mining scene.

A painter defeats a sculptor by painting a warrior with back to viewer bending over water. The surface reflects his face and form, an armor suit on the right mirrors a full profile, and a mirror on the left does the same. The sculptor pays the stake as the painter profits in the social aftermath.
