Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Montana Coal and Iron Co. was incorporated on November 27, 1889, by Elijah Smith, Prosper W. Smith, Edward J. Berwind, John E. Berwind, Elias L. Frank, Ansley S. Davis, and John S. Tilney. The purposes of the company were far reaching, including buying and developing coal lands, marble quarries, iron and other minerals, oil wells, timber lands, saw mills, water power, real estate and other properties, and to build associated roads and railroads. The incorporators capitalized at $2,000,000. Offices were in both Billings, Montana, and New York City.
For the next twenty years, the history of the company is unclear. The Smith brothers began acquiring land and issuing stock and promissory notes in payment. Relationship of these two methods of payment was not clearly defined. Little coal was produced. The company kept very poor records of its transactions.
In 1907, shortly after the building of the Yellowstone Park Railroad (later renamed the Montana, Wyoming and Southern) to Washoe, mining at Washoe began on a regular basis. In 1911, with Elijah Smith's health failing, an attempt was made to gain control of the affairs of the company. The accounting firm Pogson, Peloubet and Co. did a massive audit of the company's finances. In 1912 a mortgage replaced all of the outstanding indebtedness.
James M. Freeman began working for the company as assistant general manager about 1908. Within a few years he had become general manager and vice president of the company. He continued in this dual role until 1945, when the Co. ceased large-scale production. He became company president in 1954 and then retired to a position as a director in 1956.
After the retirement of company president Elijah Smith, the presidency changed hands many times. Shortly before his death, Elijah Smith assigned most of his interest in the company to Charles R. Smith [relationship to Elijah unclear] of Menasha, Wisconsin. In 1911, William W. Worthington became president. On William Worthington's death on January 30, 1912, C. R. Smith succeeded to the presidency. From then on control of the company from Menasha was fairly consistent, although the offices continued to be in either New York City, Billings, or Washoe. Among the later presidents were Henry S. Fleming (1916-1919), Thomas M. Kearney (1919-1931), W. H. Miner (1932-1935), Carlton R. Smith (1936-1943), D. C. Shepard (1944-1952), James M. Freeman (1953-1958), and Oliver C. Smith (1959-1975). The Montana Coal and Iron Company was involuntarily dissolved in 1980.
The Montana Coal and Iron Company prospered through World War I. Both the Washoe / Smith Mine and the nearby Foster Creek Mine operated at full capacity. With warm winters and competition in the domestic market by natural gas, the company's fortunes declined through the 1920s and 1930s. The company's Smith Mine is most famous for the terrible explosion of February 27, 1943, which killed 73 miners.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Records (1889-1967) of the company consist of interoffice and general correspondence, court papers, employee records, financial records, legal documents, organizational records, reports, subject files and miscellany. There are small subgroups for two subsidiaries: the Britannic Mining Company of Shoup, Idaho, and the Ruby Creek Mine, of Madison County, Montana.
There is extensive interoffice correspondence (1900-1945) among the officers of the company. Of especial importance is the very regular correspondence between general manager of the mine James M. Freeman, and the various successive presidents of the company. During the early years from 1910-1915 there is also considerable correspondence among the various other officers of the company. Under interoffice correspondence there is also correspondence between company officials at Washoe and various sales offices around Montana, and in North Dakota and Spokane, Washington.
General correspondence (1911-1945) consists primarily of correspondence between the company and mining equipment supply houses, sales agents, and customers. These letters reflect the day-to-day operations of the company.
Court Papers (1909-1937) include several cases involving the company and its officials. Employee Records (1908-1955) including accident reports, payrolls, and miners' miscellaneous earnings reports.
Financial Records consist of audit reports (1911-1946), cash books (1906-1945), business statements and combined balance sheets (1910-1956), customer ledgers (1909-1947), expense journals and ledgers (1906-1939), general ledgers (1909-1954), ground rent books (1911-1948), insurance policies (1911-1933), inventories (1921-1946), production records (1919-1925), railroad shipments (1930-1944), tonnage books (1912-1945), trial balance sheets (1909-1951), voucher distribution registers (1909-1917), and miscellaneous other financial items.
Legal Documents (1890-1953) consist of deeds, agreements, contracts. etc. Organizational Records consist of minutes (1911-1918, plus scattered) of trustees and stockholders; presidents' and vice presidents' annual reports; annual meeting materials (1920-1938), including resolutions, scattered minutes, etc.; and stockholder ledgers and lists.
Printed Materials consist of mining equipment catalogs from a variety of suppliers.
Reports consists of corporate reports to a variety of state and federal agencies, and to Moody's and R. G. Dun and Co.; a report (1916) of James M. Freeman on the proposed Foster Creek Mine; and a report (1909) on the Yellowstone Park Railroad.
Subject Files include a variety of topics, most importantly labor-management files (1910-1945) of the Joint Board of Montana Coal Operators Association and the United Mine Workers of America.
Miscellany includes flyers; lists of sales agents and customers; "fire boss books" of mine inspection; Montana Coal Operators Association quarterly reports; etc.
The subgroup for the Britannic Mining Company of Shoup, Idaho, includes interoffice and general correspondence (1922-1924), proposals for mining and power plant equipment, blueprints, assay reports, insurance policy, and miscellany.
The subgroup for the Ruby Creek Mine of Madison County, includes interoffice and general correspondence (1935-1938), and reports to the U.S. Treasury on gold produced.

Processing Note
Processed in 2009. Prior to receipt by the Montana Historical Society, the collection received heavy water damage, mold damage, and infestation by rodents. The collection has been stabilized and cleaned, but much of the material is still very fragile. To the extent possible, original order has been maintained, but due to the condition it was in, considerable reorganization was necessary.
Separated Materials
Some material transferred to MC 204 Hubert A. Simmons Papers; SC 1896 the Stock Certificate Collection; and MC 284 the Bill and Letterhead Collection. Aartifacts, photographs, and printed materials transferred to the Museum, Photograph Archives, and Library respectively. See inventory below for more information.
Related Materials
The Hubert A. Simmons Papers (MC 204) contain material on the Eagle Coal Co. and other companies closely affiliated with the Montana Coal and Iron Co.
