Bill Thomas
was born in Butte Montana but has lived in Elliston,
Montana for over fifty years. Elliston began as a placer operation along
the Little Blackfoot River during the 1860s, but the gold deposits were
poor and little production occurred. It was not until the 1890s, when lode
mining was developed south of town, that the mining district began to
produce significant amounts of ore. Most of the production from the lode
mining occurred between 1890 and 1908. However, during the first half of
the 1890s, the town and the area's primary economic base was woodcutting.
Cutting cord wood for the Anaconda Copper Mining Company's smelter at
Anaconda employed more than one hundred wood cutters and it was during
this period that the town reached its peak in population and activity. Now
hunting, fishing and the rural way of life attract most residents to
Elliston.Qualifications & Experience
