Early Day Mill Boon to Settler in Helena Country
The first mill to operate in the Helena region after a twenty year hiatus resumed as the Northwestern Milling company mill. Sanford & Evans began operations in 1867, with the first flour ground in February 1868, supplying the surrounding area until 1893 and drawing settlers to bring grain from Prickly Pear, Missouri valleys, Beaverhead, and Madison. Prices of staples were high, and the 1868 order of 100 sacks of flour for A M Holter marked a notable sale. The mill moved to Helena in 1883, with changes in partnership, closure after 1898, a summer lease in 1918, and leadership by H B Lyman starting November 1, 1918.
