Cooke City Railroad to Open Rich Montana Camp
Cooke City Montana, long called the richest mining camp, is set to come into its own with a 52 mile railroad from Gardiner to Cooke City. Tom Stout chairs Cooke City Transit. Robert I. McKay backs the project, promising access to gold silver lead copper and manganese. The plan could revive a district neglected since Jay Cooke and Yellowstone Park disputes, with early mining shafts exceeding 20 000 feet and smelter activity dating to 1877.
