Notes :: Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Butte, MT, 1968 AC1968-24., Stuart MacKenzie, Chinook, MT June 2002 AC2002-25., In 1875, Marcus Daly purchased mining property north of Butte, Montana Territory, for four Walker brothers in Salt Lake City, Utah. Three years later, the Alice Gold and Silver Mining Company organized, with Joseph R. Walker as president and Marcus Daly as superintendent of the Walkerville operations. In 1880, Daly withdrew from the Alice and bought into the Anaconda Mine. Walker served as president until his death in 1901 when his brother, Matthew H. Walker, succeeded him., During these formative years, the Walker brothers invested in new machinery and enlarged the Alice's production capacity. The company constructed a 60-stamp mill, considered at the time to be the world's largest dry crushing and chloridizing mill. These technological improvements proved that, in addition to silver bullion, base ores could be economically mined. This was a particularly significant development after the Silver Panic of 1893, when silver prices fell and the Alice management sought profits through the extraction of zinc., The Anaconda Copper Mining Company acquired majority control of the Alice Company in 1910, and in 1930, the Alice Gold and Silver Mining Company was dissolved.
