Processing Information
Processed by Paul G. C. Smith in 1995. The series was microfilmed in June 1996, and the originals were retained for artifactual value. Some minor deviations from the strict alphabetical arrangement are evident in the container list. These occur when maintaining the strict alphabetical arrangement would have hidden subject files or major correspondents, or otherwise been confusing. For instance, box 3, folder 21, contains the correspondence in the range Me-My while Montana-Bingham Consolidated Mining Company correspondence is found in folder 22 and Municipal League is in folder 23.
