Mrs Thomas Scahill - Eats 20 Year Old Blueberries - Historical Newspapers - The Anaconda Standard, Anaconda, Montana

This is an extract from Ancestry.com

In 1888 Durston had brought his family west to operate a failing gold mine east of Butte, but he soon signed on with Daly to bring the newspaper to life. Daly’s initial investment of $30,000 provided for a state-of-the-art printing press, luxurious editorial offices, and the money to hire experienced editors, reporters, and graphic designers. The Anaconda Standard was to be the rival of newspapers in Minneapolis and the Pacific Northwest...
