ranching, horse breeding, and agricultural activities, are especially well
documented. The records of the Valley Mercantile of Hamilton are also quite
extensive and detail the financial activities of the company. The collection
also contains records related to the business investments of Marcus Daly and
his heirs in mining industries, water irrigation projects, retail businesses
and real estate ventures from the 1880s to the 1990s. Materials include
correspondence, financial records, reports, minutes, legal documents and aerial
maps of the family properties.

Historical Note
Marcus Daly, businessman and copper magnate, was born December 5, 1843
in county Craven, Ireland. At age 15, he immigrated to New York and worked odd
jobs for five years until he saved enough money to purchase passage to San
Francisco in 1861. In California, he sought out employment in mining, and by
1871, he had become a foreman for the Walker brothers in Salt Lake City where
he supervised their local mining and banking interests. It was there that he
met his wife, Margaret Evans, whom he wed in 1872. They had four children:
Margaret Augusta, Mary, Marcus II and Harriot Daly. Harriot Daly married Count
Anton Sigray and their daughter, Countess Margit Sigray Bessenyey inherited the
Daly family estate in 1950 when her mother died.
Marcus Daly built an empire by seeking out potential profitable mines
and convincing wealthy investors to provide financial assistance to develop
them. In 1881, with the help of George Hearst, Ali Haggin, and Lloyd Tevis of
California, Daly was able to develop one of the world’s most prosperous copper
mines in Anaconda, Montana. Daly managed the Anaconda Copper Mining Company
from 1881 to the late 1890s.
By the 1880s, Daly’s business interests expanded to the Bitterroot
Valley in Hamilton, Montana. He began purchasing and developing large tracts of
land in the Bitterroot Valley that eventually became a 22,000 acre farm known
as the Bitterroot Stock Farm. The Stock Farm grew to be a world-class
agricultural and horse breeding facility and stayed in the Daly family until
the 1990s.
The Stock Farm consisted of several ranching properties, agricultural
lands, and horse facilities including outdoor and covered race tracks, a horse
hospital, and Tammany Castle, which was a stable that Daly built to provide
luxury accommodations for his select horses. The Daly family residence, which
was originally owned by Anthony Chaffin, was part of the Bitterroot Stock Farm
property. Marcus Daly remodeled the home in the late 1880s into a beautiful
country mansion known as Riverside. In 1909, Margaret Daly remodeled the home
again in a Georgian-style Colonial Revival mansion and was one of the most
elegant homes in the state of Montana. Today the home runs as a museum and is
known as the Daly Mansion. The home and Stock Farm property had extensive
grounds including gardens, orchards, and a deer park. Daly purchased several
ditch companies in order to develop an effective irrigation system to support
the agricultural activities of the Stock Farm and the surrounding area.
Once the Stock Farm was firmly established, Daly turned his attention
to the timber industry in the Bitterroot Valley. He purchased vast acres of
timberlands and built sawmills in the Bitterroot Valley in order to fuel the
smelters for his mining operations in Anaconda. By the 1890s, because of the
presence of Daly’s Stock Farm, along with the creation of several active saw
mill businesses and an active railroad line, the population of the Bitterroot
Valley area increased dramatically. In order to accommodate rising numbers of
workers, Daly worked with land agent, James W. Hamilton, to purchase large
tracts of land and developed local businesses and infrastructures to support
the growing population of local workers and families. In 1890, Daly opened the
Bitterroot Development Company Store in Hamilton, which eventually became the
Valley Mercantile in 1908. The Mercantile was a prominent feature of downtown
Hamilton and continued to thrive until it burned down in 1935. Daly continued
to influence business development and local politics until his death in
1900.
After Daly’s death, his estate and investments were transferred to his
wife Margaret Daly, his son Marcus Daly II, and his daughters Mary Daly Gerrard
and Harriot Daly Sigray. The estate of Marcus Daly remained in the hands of the
Daly family over the next several generations.
Throughout the 20th century, the Daly family heirs invested in and
created new businesses in Montana and elsewhere. In 1950, the Daly estate was
passed onto the granddaughter of Marcus Daly, Countess Margit Sigray Bessenyey.
She oversaw the Daly properties and investments until her death in 1984. Her
stepson, Francis Bessenyey, was the heir to the Daly estate and deeded the Daly
Mansion to the state of Montana in 1987 in forgiveness for $400,000 in
inheritance taxes. During this time, the Big Sky Management Company oversaw the
Daly properties in the Bitterroot Valley. In 1986, an auction was held by the
Gardner Auction Service on the grounds of the Daly Mansion to sell off
remaining farm equipment, family furniture and belongings that remained on the
property. It was during this time that the Daly Mansion Preservation Trust was
created in an attempt to save the mansion. The Trust bought items from the Daly
auction and convinced other buyers to purchase items and donate them back to
the Trust. Most of the remaining Bitterroot Stock Farm property was eventually
sold in 1992 to Hamilton businessman Harold Mildenberger.
The collection is divided into two subgroups: Family Papers and
Business Records.
Subgroup I, Family Papers (1879-1986), subgroup of four series: Marcus
Daly Papers (1879-1906), Margaret P. Daly Investment Files (1912-1958), Marcus
Daly II Financial Records (1916-1930), and Countess Margit Sigray Bessenyey
Papers (1929-1986). The family papers contain financial records,
correspondence, and subject files related to Daly family investments and
businesses.
Series I, Marcus Daly Papers (1879-1906), consists of an estate
journal (1901-1902) as well as thoroughbred and standard bred horse records
(1879-1906), an index of trotting stock, and published catalogs of horse sales
from the Bitterroot Stock Farm and other places (1890-1906).
Series II, Margaret P. Daly Estate Papers (1907-1958), is divided into
two subseries: financial records and subject files. Subseries 1, Financial
Records (1922-1952), contains investment accounts related to the Daly family
estate including estate tax and income tax records as well as valuation
worksheets. Subseries 2, Subject Files (1907-1958), contains family investment
subject files arranged alphabetically and includes correspondence related to
investments or businesses across the family holdings or which relate to Marcus
and Margaret Daly.
Series III, Marcus Daly II Financial Records (1916-1930), includes
income tax records (1916-1930), a trial balance (1930) and land investment
files (1925-1931).
Series IV, Countess Margit Sigray Bessenyey Papers (1929-1986), is
divided into four subseries: financial records, correspondence, subject files,
and Hungarian Horse Association files. Subseries 1, Financial Records
(1960-1985), includes personal accounts, horse accounts, bank statements, and
cancelled checks. Subseries 2, Correspondence (1958-1979) and Subseries 3,
Subject Files (1929-1986), both contain information related to the daily
operations of the Bitterroot Stock Farm. Subseries 4, Hungarian Horse
Association Records (1955-1981), includes certificates of registration
(1965-1981) and a ledger of Hungarian Horse Breeding Records (1955-1966).
Series V, Publications (1890-1912), is primarily catalogs of horses bred and maintained by Marcus Daly. Also included are some telegraph code books.
Subgroup II, Business Records (1883-1992), is divided into fourteen
series and represents the bulk of the collection. Although some of the
companies represented in the collection existed prior to Daly’s death in 1900,
including the Bitterroot Stock Farm, the Lexington Foundry and Tuttle
Mercantile, the Republican Ditch Company, and the Hamilton Flour Mill, most of
the companies were investments made by the Daly family heirs after 1900. The
business records include ledgers, journals, cash books, audit reports, and
vouchers as well as articles of incorporation, minute books, and correspondence
related to the business investments of the Daly family from the 1880s-1990s.
Many of the companies represented in the collection were either dissolved or
absorbed into the Bitterroot Stock Farm. It should be noted that the collection
does not include records of Daly’s mining activities in Butte, Montana.
Series I, Bitterroot Stock Farm Records, (1896-1986). This series is
divided into five subseries. Subseries 1, Administrative Records (1901-1962),
Subseries 2, Financial Records (1896-1987), Subseries 3, Correspondence
(1896-1959), which primarily contains letters of family members and
superintendents of the Bitterroot Stock Farm related to daily operations of the
Farm and Subseries 4, Subject Files (1959-1982), which consists of contracts,
deeds, right of ways, and papers related to water rights.
Series II, Lexington Foundry Records, (1886-1889) and Tuttle
Mercantile Company Records, (1889-1917). The Lexington Foundry was created to
carry on and conduct a general foundry business as well as machine and repair
shops and boiler works at Butte City in Silver Bow County Montana Territory.
Shelley Tuttle, Joseph V. Long and William R. Kenyon were the directors. In
1889 all real and personal property transferred to Shelley Tuttle. The record
book for the Lexington Foundry continues as the record book for the Tuttle
Mercantile which was founded in 1903 in Napa, Idaho in Canyon County to conduct
a general business of buying and selling wares and merchandise for the gain of
profit and to acquire real estate necessary for business. From the records, it
appears that Shelley Tuttle sold all of his shares to Margaret Daly in 1911.
The company dissolved in 1917. This series contains articles of incorporation
and minutes of the corporation.
Series III, Republican Ditch Company Records, (1883-1901). The
Republican Ditch Company was organized in 1883 in Corvallis, Montana to furnish
water for an irrigation ditch in the Bitterroot Valley. In 1901 the company and
its assets were purchased by the Ravalli Land and Irrigation Company and they
moved their principal place of business to Hamilton, Montana. This series
contains financial records, minutes, stock records, general ledgers, and a cash
book.
Series IV, Hamilton Flour Mill Company Records, (1898-1917). The
Hamilton Flour Mill Company was founded in 1898 by Marcus Daly with H. H.
Grant, M. D. Grant, G. F. Grant B. McGinty and P.J. Shannon as stockholders.
The Flour Mill Company was created to sell, contract and deal in wheat, oats,
corn, and other grains as well as the manufacture of the same into flour, meal
middlings, shorts, bran feed and other milling products. The business was
connected to the irrigation system in Hamilton. The mill was first operated by
water power provided by a flume from the Daly saw mill. In 1911, the Marcus
Daly estate transferred their shares of the Hamilton Flour Mill to the
Bitterroot Stock Farm. The Daly family sold the mill in 1914 and it became the
Hamilton Cereal and Flour Mill, which was destroyed by fire in 1917 never to be
re-built. This series includes a corporation book and a stock certificate book.
Series V, Cattle Company Records, (1898-1902). Hodge Daly &
Company was created in 1898 and was succeeded by Marcus Daly & Company in
1899. It was quickly turned over to Daly Donahue & Greenwood Company in
August 1899 and was then transferred to Daly Bank & Trust in January 1901,
which lasted until December 1901, when the company became William Montgomery
& Company. In March 1902 the assets were transferred to the Lakeview Land
& Cattle Company which was created in 1901 to buy, sell and convey lands,
livestock and other assets of Marcus Daly and William M. Montgomery in Madison
and Beaverhead Counties in Montana. This series consists of a journal and a
ledger documenting several cattle companies that Marcus Daly either created or
invested in from 1898-1902. The Lakeview Land and Cattle Company records are
housed in Series VI, Lakeview Land and Cattle Company Records.
Series VI, Lakeview Land and Cattle Company Records, (1901-1917). The
Lakeview Land and Cattle Company was preceded by several other companies that
Daly invested in or created. Hodge, Daly & Company was succeeded by Marcus
Daly & Company in 1899, followed by Daly, Donahue & Greenwood Company
in August 1899 which was transferred to Daly Bank & Trust in January 1901
and lasted through December 1901, when the company became William Montgomery
& Company. In March 1902, the assets were transferred to the Lakeview Land
& Cattle Company, which was created in 1901 to buy, sell and convey lands,
livestock and other assets of Marcus Daly and William M. Montgomery in Madison
and Beaverhead Counties in Montana. The company bought and sold as well as bred
horses, cattle and sheep, and constructed canals, ditches, flumes and other
works of conveying water and reservoirs for storing the same. The company was
dissolved in 1917. This series consists of articles of incorporation, general
ledgers and journals, a stock certificate book, and an application for
dissolution. A ledger (1898-1902) and journal (1898-1902) of the companies
preceding Lakeview Land and Cattle Company are housed in Series V, Cattle
Company Records.
Series VII, Ward Ditch Company, (1901). The Ward Ditch Company was
created at Corvallis, Montana in September 1901 with G. W. Ward as President.
By November 1901, the Ravalli Land and Irrigation Company purchased the Ward
Ditch Company and transferred all ditches, property, water and water rights to
them. This series contains minutes of the company.
Series VIII, Yale Mining Company Records, (1901-1910). The Yale Mining
Company was incorporated in October 1901. The company purchased the Nickel
Plate Mines situated in the Osorfoos division of the Yale Mining District near
Similkameen River in British Columbia. John R. Toole and John G. Morony of
Anaconda and A. J. Campbell of Butte became joint stockholders and Margaret P.
Daly was also an investor. The company carried on a business of mining,
milling, buying selling, converting, smelting, treating and preparing for
market gold, silver, copper, lead and other materials. M. K. Rogers was the
general manager. The Nickel Plate Mines in the Yale Mining District were sold
to Isaac L. Merrill in 1909. This series contains articles of incorporation,
minutes, a stock certificate book, and a folder of proxy statements.
Series IX, Ravalli Land and Irrigation Company Records, (1901-1953).
Stockholders of Ravalli Land and Irrigation incorporated the business in 1901
in Butte to take over, through an exchange of stock, several ditch companies
including the Ward Ditch Company and the Republican Ditch Company, water
rights, and the water system of the Marcus Daly Estate. All assets of the
corporation were sold in 1943 to the State Water Conservation Board. The
corporation was dissolved in 1945. This series includes articles of
incorporation, minutes, audit reports, balance sheets, inventories, journals,
ledgers, cash books, cash vouchers, and a box of materials related to water

offices to Hamilton. The company purchased, leased, sold real or personal
property and erected buildings and improved or maintained houses owned by them.
They bought and sold properties in Missoula, Anaconda, and Butte. They extended

The records were stored in Hamilton, Montana, on the Bitterroot Stock
Farm property until their donation to The University of Montana by Francis
Bessenyey in 2005.
Gift of Francis Bessenyey, 2005.
The majority of the records in the collection were maintained in
original order. Correspondence files were arranged alphabetically by the
processor and a portion of the collection was re-housed to improve long term
preservation. Subject files were arranged alphabetically and then
chronologically. In 2008, ten files that had been overlooked during the 2006
processing were incorporated into the collection and the finding aid was
updated. In 2022, publications (Series V of Subgroup 1) were included in the finding aid for the collection.
At the donor’s request, the records of the Bannister Mining Company
and a stock certificate book of the Butte Theatre Association were transferred
to the Butte Silver Bow Public Archives in Butte, Montana. Bitterroot Stock
Farm Bank statements and cancelled checks were de-accessioned. Valley
Mercantile Company transfer ledgers (1918-1935) were de-accessioned because the
information is duplicated elsewhere in the collection, and Valley Mercantile
itemized customer statements were sampled with the following records retained:
February-September 1919, August 1922-March 1923, and July-December 1928. At the
request of the donor, payroll records have been removed from the collection or
restricted. In 2013 runs of Wallace’s Year Book and Wallace’s Daily Trotting Register which arrived with the collection were deaccessioned to the Daly Mansion in Hamilton, Montana.
Related materials are owned by the Daly Mansion Preservation Trust and
are housed at the Daly Mansion Museum in Hamilton, Montana. Significant
collections of Anaconda Copper Mining Company Records are housed at the Montana
Historical Society and at the American Heritage Research Center at the
University of Wyoming in Laramie.
