Talk:Montana Silver Mining

Problems with this article
1) It appears to be written based on a single source, with a limited point of view. The principal source, Chadwick, is not sufficiently documented, as no publisher or date is listed.

2) It generalizes too much, treating all Montana silver deposits as if they had similar characteristics.  It also suggests erroneously that rich but shallow deposits are confined to Montana.

3) Suffers from vague and unquantified peacock terms ("incredible richness," "huge").

4) The article stops at the silver bust in the late 1800s, 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. Plazak (talk) 03:11, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
