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.

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.
