In Silver Bow Basin, Perseverance mine began operation of a 50-stamp mill, with 50 more added the next year for a total of 100 stamps processing ore. Work was also done on grading for a railroad from downtown to the mine (but never completed).

Treadwell miners struck April 1 for better working and housing conditions. Responding to threats of violence, federal troops from Fort Seward arrived the next day to maintain order before a compromise settlement was reached after several weeks of the strike.
