The Little Anaconda Mining Company was an organization in Carter, Mineral County, Montana, around 1890. It had no apparent affiliation with the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. Carter, Montana, was located about seventy miles north of Missoula, Montana, and ten miles from Iron Mountain at the site of present day Superior, Montana. The Iron Mountain Mine on Flat Creek, which mined silver, was the primary operation, but there were numerous other claims in the area. In 1903-1904, William Bryan, whose name appears in the ledger, was postmaster of Carter. By 1905, the post office had been dissolved and the site was renamed Keystone.
The ledger contains forty-seven pages of intermittent entries from 1890-1891. The ledger also contains homework and scribblings from Howard Cornish, of Missoula, Montana, and one entry for a laundry bill.
