LINCOLN COUNTY
—By W. R. Littcll
Editor Western News.
The first explorer to enter Lincoln county was David Thom
pson, who in 1808 came down the Kootenai river from Canada.
Bur traders soon followed Thompson. Prospectors reached here
in the '60s when it was part of Oregon Territory. Later it
belonged to Washington Territory. With the organization of
Montana, it became part of Missoula county, then of Flathead,
and in 1909
organized as Lincoln county with Libby sts
was
county seat.
Mining is carried on, but lumbering is the principal indus
try, 90 per cent of its two and one-half million acres being
^forest land. Farming is principally in the northeast section.
?• N. R. R, covers more miles here than in any other county
it crosses. Lincoln is famed, for its scenic attractions, fishing
and hunting.
err _ —By M. G. O'Malley,
SILVER BOW COUNTY Montana Standard
I
The county of Silver Bow is named for Silver Bow creek.
Silver Bow creek was named by a group of prospectors who
bad wandered in from adjacent mining camps. "We were clus
tered on what you now call Anaconda hill," said William Claik
Denver, 60 years ago, "and sat down on our heels to rest.
The sky had been cloudy. Suddenly the sun appeared. The
stream in the valley glistened in the sunlight. 'Look at the
creek,' exclaimed Bud Parke. 'Look at it. Just like a silver
bow.' We were all placer miners and we headed for tiia
creek. There was gold in Silver Bow." Butte is county seat.
