Summary

Significance: The Stewart represents one of Butte's oldest and most productive mines. It is historically significant for its association with William A. Clark and the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. The mine's steel headframe has engineering significance because of design and date of construction and the auxiliary hoisting engine constitutes one of the last examples of a steam-powered hoist found on the Butte Mill.
