Allen of Dec Moines, hit mind Intent on the needs of a new nation that would be built on the ashes of the old, turned his interests to the vast Im portance of Montana. The Allen idea was the establishment of bank in the mining areas of Montana. With this thought he journeyed to Omaha where he in terested J. H. Millard to lend his services in the new venture. Allen and Millard reasoned that the miners would not only welcome an opportunity to sell their gold, but also the opportunity to place their money In a bank safe. While the stories of the gold strike in Bannack, probably inspired the two pioneer bankers to plan their investment in Montana, Alder Gulch had forged front while they were working out details so that the distinction of being the site of the first bank In Montana, fell to Virginia City — along with numerous other “firsts" — Instead of to Bannack. It took a year to put the plan into operation. Mr. Millard came to Virginia City and proceeded to erect a one-story stone building. The bank opened its doors Sept. 17, 1864. The first building housed the bank until 1922. How many tons of gold dust and Ingots went through its doors can be only a matter of speculation.
