== Problems with this article == 

 1) It appears to be written based on a single source, with a limited point of view. 
 2) It generalizes too much, treating  all Montana silver deposits as if they had similar characteristics. 
 3) Suffers from vague and unquantified peacock terms ("incredible richness"). 
 4) The article stops at the silver bust in the late 1800, and neglects anything that happened after that, as if silver mining disappeared. In fact, Montana continued to be a major silver producer as Butte shifted from silver to copper, and continued to produce silver as a byproduct.
