The highs and lows made mining such a risky business and Copper City was no stranger to the trials and tribulations. Gold was discovered by placer miner Al Nichols in 1864. In the 1870s, four Gallatin City men found a boulder of copper quartz. In 1880, J.O. Hopping came on board and mining shafts were erected in the area but failed to produce anything significant. Next, a 13 foot shaft was dug Photo by Jolene Ewert-Hintz that did produce several loads of high grade ore. This prompted several claim stakes in the area. The ore was soon lost at Hopping’s Stella Mine. Upon further digging, the shaft was flooded and then abandoned.

In 1915, the Dunbar Mine was worked but again, nothing of significance to report. The teasers became too much and work on the claims stopped. To Get There: From I-90, take Exit 274 near Three Forks. Turn north on US-287 and follow to Copper City Road. Turn east on Copper City RD and follow to town.

Leiterville was named for the Leiter family of Chicago who owned many claims in the area. The camp consisted of miner's cabins, a boarding house a large stamp mill and a school house. Mining was tapped out by 1898.The camp is high in The Tobacco Root Mountains about 8 miles NE of Sheridan. Photo: Miners in front of Leiterville Mine, 1890.

He was ready and shot Plummer in his right arm but Plummer would regain his shooting prowess and chase Crawford out of town. Plummer went on to become sheriff.

Built in 1909, the Maudlow School is the only known example of the two story rectangular frame type of school house built in Gallatin County. A large student enrollment, brought about by the consolidation of a number of schools in the area, necessitated a larger than normal building. Elementary classes would be held on the first level while the high school met above. The railroad through Maudlow was abandoned in 1980.
