My wife and I visited about 10 years ago and the city is impressive. The mines, homes, surrounding area and even the cemetery is amazing. We had a great time visiting and just taking in the beautiful sights and history.
My grandfather and his two brothers moved to Butte in the late 1800's to open a shop to make harnesses for the mules(?) that pulled the ore carts. I'm told they were a Union Shop to be able to sell to the mine
Great summary of history. Of note, Daly is pronounced "Daily". We have a lot of "Daly" connected museums, the hospital in Hamilton is named Marcus Daly and there's more such locations around the state so it's a moniker that is still circulated.
Well I was wrong to the L came before the N so it goes G,H,L,N,R,T. That is for the D9, D10,D11 except the first D10 did not have a letter so we called them D10L's they were the size of a D11 I spent most of my life on cat dozers. If my memory is right the last D11T we bought was 2.3 million we had 4.
Butt, Montana. Those copper kings were cold blooded killers. You left out the deadly, toxic, and acidic lake left behind from the open pit Berkeley mine that threatens the local water supply to this day.
The environmentally friend cities of New York City and San Francisco etc that were electrifying needed copper as they were going “green” no longer burning oil for light but electricity. It’s very similar to today as people go green to save the earth but to do so pollute other parts of the earth like supporting child labor and open pit toxic mines in the Congo for instance. Don’t forget ship recycling. The epa saved the Us from pollution so now ships are recycled in India were poor workers wear flip flops as they torch metal down to be recycled. The U.S. epa reduced pollution in the U.S. but promoted asbestos falling onto the beaches of India to enter the ocean and circle the globe for all to benefit and also enter sea food.
Bravo.........off subject..........looking at hill it looks a trash mound.........one day they will mine the burried trash mound for raw materials............cheers
Moze li neko da slika groblje moj deda je iz ygoslavije gore radijo u rudniku i nikad gore nismo dosli da posjetimo grob. Zelio bih ako moze neko da mi posalje sliku od groblja.
Here is the translation in English to anyone out there. Looking for a photo of the Butte cemetery. Most like the pioneer cemetery around Butte: Can someone take a picture of the cemetery, my grandfather is from Yugoslavia, the radio is in the mine, and we never came up there to visit the grave. I would like if someone could send me a picture of the cemetery.
Good overview of Butte. The City That Ate Itself is a great book on the pit mine era.

hahaha too funny, I just finished editing a short for Butte Montana... Great video Old Lost Mines.
Thanks Flash. I'll keep an eye out for your short.
Great summary of history. Of note, Daly is pronounced "Daily". We have a lot of "Daly" connected museums, the hospital in Hamilton is named Marcus Daly and there's more such locations around the state so it's a moniker that is still circulated.
Thanks for bring that to my attention. Always like when viewers let me know things like that.
@@oldlostminer thanks for replying.It's a minor thing but always nice to have it pronounced correctly.
Been there, and as said, this just scratches the surface of its history. Be sure to visit Deer Lodge and Hamilton (Daily Mansion).
I got to spend a bit more time there myself. Took lots of pictures but somehow I've lost them. Good excuse to go back some day. Thanks for watching.
Wow I didn't realize the mine was that productive during its lifespan.

I'm pretty sure caterpillar never made a D9k try D9H.. after H came the D9N
You are correct. You are the first person to pick up on that. Thanks for watching.
Well I was wrong to the L came before the N so it goes G,H,L,N,R,T.

@@Lucysdad66I've spent many hours on a D8R I personally like it better than the T I think the hydraulics are more responsive quicker just my opinion

That would be a great video for you to do. Thanks for watching.

If the lake is acidic have they tried to neutralize the acid by balancing the ph?

Yes. Mines are great for leaving trash behind. Thanks for watching.
