At the turn of the century, and the use of electricity,
demand for copper skyrocketed and Butte had one of the
largest veins of copper ore in the world.
At first the copper ore was mined from the mountain and sub
terrain with mine shafts and elevators. In the 1950's open
pit mining was deemed more economical leading to the
transformation of the Berkley mine shaft to the Berkley Pit.
The pit has been closed since the early 1980's and poses
enormous environmental challenges as it fills with ground
water.
