Bell Diamond Mine-Butte, MT
The Diamond Mine was a major copper and ore-producing mine from 1879-1928 and had a depth of 3,500 feet. This mine was originally owned by Copper King William Clark until 1895 when Anaconda Copper Mining Company took it over.
The Bell Mine was founded by T.C. Meader of Montana Mining Company who had a smelter nearby Meaderville. In 1914 they linked together underground and operated through the same shaft. It is one of the oldest standing gallows frames on Butte Hill. (storyofbuttedotorg)

The Original Mine-Butte, MT
The Original Mine was Butte’s first major copper mine, opened in 1878, about 3,569–3,900 feet in depth. The Original Mine began as one of the earliest mining operations in Butte, rooted in small prospecting pits dug by early settlers and possibly Native Americans. William Clark patented Lot #39 in 1878, launching the mine, with Granville Stuart later adding two more claims. By 1897, the shaft reached the 1,000‑foot level with 20 underground workers; by 1902, 300 men were employed underground.
The mine produced significant copper and silver, and in 1910 Clark sold it to the Anaconda Company. It operated until 1940, then was reopened in the 1950s for zinc and copper (storyofbutte.org)
