French Man named Gagnon-The Butte Miner 1926
THE BUTTE MINER,monday morning,july 5, 1926
BELK brough suit, which was tried in DEER LODGE,BUTTE county,at time being Deer Lodge county;but lost in his effort to disposses GAGNON.
FRENCHMAN NAMED GAGNON
In the summer of 1878 and 1879 mining development on a larger scale was witness and the greatness of the Butte district began to impress itself more upon the outside world.The Alice, Lexington and GAGNON came into prominence about this time.The property known as the GAGNON had been abandonned,the impression prevailing among the prospectors for years that the ledge probably would show a copper mine at depth,but it
was thought that it was not a sylver property because
it had a sort of copper look to it,and it was silver and gold properties those days which were wanted,not copper.But itwas a real ailver mine from the surface,but no one suspect it.
DISCOVERY OF SYLVER
JOHN BELK was the first to discover that the pale green appearing rock in the vein carried silver.He had assayed it and it ran 800 ounces in sylver and was high in gold.BELK,to celebrate,got drunk and went around the camp telling of his discovery,He celebrated so extensively taht he overlooked recording the location which he made,and when he had sobored he found that a FRENCHMAN named GAGNON had filed upon the property and recorded it.BELK brough suit, which was tried in DEER LODGE,BUTTE county,at time being Deer Lodge county;but lost in his effort to disposses GAGNON.
Other properties coming into prominence at the time were the Parrott and Bill Park`s claim, just to the east of the Parrot and on the same vein.Downs and Leary had the oroginal discovery of the PARROT.

Colorado Smelter
The Colorado Smelter is located south of Silver Bow Creek on the west side of Butte. The tailings from the smelter's operation are adjacent to the north side of Interstate 15/90 while the site of smelter is just south of the interstate and east of the small community of Williamsburg. All that remains of the smelter's operation is a large area (approximately 50 acres) of tailings left from the smelter's activities around the turn of the century, readily visible on the north side of the Interstate.
The early development of copper mining in the Butte district was handicapped by the lack of local smelters. Copper ore had to be hauled 400 miles in wagons to Corinne, Utah, and then sent by rail to various buyers throughout the country. In 1872, William A. Clark, a Deer Lodge trader and banker, moved to Butte and quickly acquired the Original, Colusa, Mountain Chief, and Gambetta claims. Clark then sent 150 tons of high-grade copper ore in 1877 to the Boston and Colorado Smelting Company in Black Hawk, Colorado. The results of the experiment were so intriguing that Nathaniel P. Hill, owner of the Colorado firm, sent copper smelting expert Henry Williams to Butte to evaluate the situation. Williams made a highly favorable report which resulted in the creation of the Colorado and Montana Smelting Company on June 1, 1879. Williams became the manager of the company with Hill as president, Clark as vice president and H. P. Wolcott as secretary and treasurer. A smelter site on the south side of Silver Bow Creek was purchased from the Gagnon Company (Weed 1912; Raymer 1930; Smith 1953; Wolle 1963; Montana Secretary of State Corporations records).
A smelter previously built on the site by R. K. Williams had failed due to defective refractory brick in the furnace. This plant was removed and the new reduction works was built by Julian Smith, who had built the Alice mill. Williamsburg, undoubtedly named after Henry Williams, was built just west of the smelter. The plant went into operation in August of 1879 with a 12 ton per day capacity (Kemp 1904; GLO records; Raymer 1930; Smith 1953; Ostberg 1972).
The company leased the Fredonia, Nettie, and Selfrising mines and used their manganiferous silver ores as flux to produce a copper matte that assayed about 60 per cent copper and 700 to 800 ounces of silver per ton. The plant capacity increased to 60 tons of matte per day but averaged about 50 tons. Sixty men ran the smelter night and day, using 25,000 cords of wood to keep the furnaces burning. The matte was ground, sacked and shipped to the Black Hawk smelter in Colorado for final treatment. The local processing greatly reduced transportation costs and led to a rapid increase in copper production throughout the Butte district. In 1887 the Colorado Smelter reduced 17,000 tons of ore into 1,200 tons of matte worth $803,000 in silver, copper and gold (Butte Daily Miner 1887-1888; Butte Inter Mountain 1887; Smith 1953; Wolle 1963; Malone 1981).
Butte's copper mining industry was still limited by the lack of a railroad connection but this deficiency was ended on December 21, 1881, when the Utah Northern reached Butte. The effect of the coming of the railroads and the building of numerous smelters in Butte was immediate. By 1898, Butte produced 41 percent of the world's supply of copper (Butte Inter Mountain 1887; Weed 1912; Wolle 1963).
The Colorado and Montana Smelting Company was reorganized in 1883 as the Colorado Smelting and Mining Company. The company's mines in Butte included the Gagnon, Original Butte, Caledonia, Nettie, Hibernia, and Burlington. The principal producer was the Gagnon which was particularly rich in silver and gold and the matte produced at the smelter was primarily for its values in precious metals rather than for the copper. Following the reorganization, the smelter was enlarged with the installation of Bruckner roasters in 1889 and an R. Pearce single-deck turret furnace in 1892. Two years later an R. Pearce double-deck turret roaster was added and Richard Pearce, the inventor of the roasters, joined the company (Kemp 1904; Butte City Illustrated 1890-1891; Raymer 1930; Smith 1953; Wolle 1963).
A fire in 1894 nearly destroyed the smelter but it was immediately rebuilt and expansion of the plant's productive capacity continued with the addition in 1901 of a six-deck turret furnace designed by R. F. Pearce [the son of Richard Pearce]. The matting reverberatories also increased in size so that by 1902 the plant had four single-deck turret furnaces, five double-deck turret furnaces and one six-deck turret roasting furnace. Three other reverberatory furnaces produced the final copper matte (Smith 1953).
On April 27, 1899, the Amalgamated Copper Company was organized by Henry H. Rogers and his partner, William Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Company. The trust sought to consolidate the copper industry and over the next few years the new holding corporation acquired, or gained controlling interests, in the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Colorado Mining and Smelting Company, Parrott Silver and Copper Company, Washoe Copper Company, Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining Company, and the Boston and Montana Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining Company. Marcus Daly, who headed Amalgamated, began work on the Washoe Smelter in Anaconda in 1900 so as to concentrate the company's smelting operations into one large efficient operation. When the new smelter went into operation in 1902 it was the largest copper smelter in the world, producing one fourth of all the copper in the United States and 15 per cent of the world's supply. The smelter began with a capacity to process 5,000 tons of ore per day but this was rapidly expanded to over 12,500 tons per day. As the Washoe's capacity increased, the company's smaller smelters in Butte were closed down, including the Colorado Smelter in 1904 or 1905 (Weed 1912; Raymer 1930; Smith 1953; Abbott 1959; Wolle 1963; Malone 1981).
