Welcome to my listing for: Missoula Light & Power Montana 1897 ALS Letterhead A.M. Holter* Best effort translation:Holter Hardware Co. Helena, Mont.Gentlemen,Please find enclosed $1.00 for film for 5 × 7 No. 6 Eastman Kodak. Yours truly, W. R. RenshawThe Elkhorn Mining Company was founded in 1875 by A.M Holter - a Virginia City pioneer - who also established the A.M. Holter Hardware Co. By 1888, Elkhorn peaked and was home to 2,500 residents and the mine was producing approx. $1,000 a day in mostly silver ore. In 1892, the price of silver dropped drastically and the boom was over for Elkhorn. The mine was closed, then re-opened several times over the next 45-50 years since first closing in 1899 - with fewer and fewer men working it each time it reopened. This piece appears to be just after the 1st price drop - and the company was adjusting and also returning some supplies.Showing only minor signs of age and use. Very light toning throughout.
