The Anaconda Standard was a newspaper published in Anaconda, Montana. The first issue was published on September 4, 1889 and the final issue was published on June 20, 1970. [1]

The Anaconda newspaper was funded by Marcus Daly and owned by his company the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. [1] It is likely the newspaper was created in reaction to a rivalry between Daly and Thomas H. Carter. [2]

Daly used the paper to further his political and financial reach. By 1920, the Anaconda Company owned several additional Montana newspapers including the Butte Post , Butte Miner, Daily Missoulian, Helena Independent, and Billings Gazette. [3]

On September 12, 1928 the Standard merged its Butte edition with Butte Miner, based in nearby Butte, Montana, to form The Montana Standard . [4]
