Parrot Lode Copper Mine of Butte History
The Parrot lode discovered October 1864 by Dennis Leary and H H Porter on Butte Hill yielded the camp’s best copper ore described as black oxide with native silver. It stretched nearly two miles, from Berkeley Pit’s eastern edge to near today’s Jackson and Copper Streets, with miners and firms like Gagnon and Original Mines exploiting its veins.
