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

This is an extract from Ancestry.com

September 4, 1889, on the eve of Montana statehood, Marcus Daly gave birth to Montana’s best financed and most prestigious newspaper, the Anaconda Standard. Just five years earlier, Daly had platted the town site of Anaconda, named for his extraordinarily rich copper mine located in Butte. The new town would house smelting operations for one of the world’s most successful metals corporations. To run the Anaconda Standard, Daly sought out John H. Durston, a former professor of philology from New York University and an editor of the Syracuse Standard [LCCN: sn91066098]. 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...
