The first items in this series are large scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings. The first is 15" x 10" and is labeled "Coeur d'Alene and general Northwest mining news from Spokesman Review," and contains clippings dated between June 11, 1897 and July 21, 1899. It is arranged chronologically.

The second scrapbook is 18" x 12", and contains clippings dated between April 1899 and December 1901. The majority of the clippings concern the mining strike, riot, and trial in 1899. The remainder concerns locations and property transfers. It is in very poor condition--the pages are falling out and the newsprint is very brittle.

The clippings in the third scrapbook concern general mining news from 1905-1917. The scrapbook is 19" x 12" and is divided into headings, i.e. district, labor, lead, litigation, and smelting. It is also in very poor condition, the paper is brittle and the pages and some clippings are loose, also, the back cover is detached.

The remaining boxes in this series contain mounted newspaper and journal clippings which were originally in notebooks, but which were transferred to folders during processing. The first folder contains unmounted clippings, 1917-1960, with many undated clippings. The clippings for 1950-1951 are in alphabetical order by subject, and are from a notebook identified as belonging to Charles E. Schwab's files; many clippings from this notebook are coming unglued. The years 1956 through June 1959 contain only Bunker Hill related clippings, while the 1959 through 1971 folders contain mounted clippings separated into subject areas, i.e. Bunker Hill, Lead-zinc, Bunker Hill negotiations, Other negotiations, This week in mining (a newspaper column), and Miscellaneous. Following this group are clippings with specific folder headings, e.g. Wildcat strike, 1956; Strike log, 1960, which contains clippings, transcripts of radio broadcasts, strike bulletins and a photograph of Bunker Hill during the strike. Another scrapbook contains clippings about pollution. The scrapbooks about the Sunshine Mine fire disaster in 1972, also contain several items of correspondence thanking Bunker Hill for its assistance in the rescue operation, a diary of rescue operations, and related manuscript notes.

There is a notebook containing obituaries of company president John D. Bradley, collected from many sources. He and his wife, a daughter of Stanly Easton, were killed in an automobile accident in San Francisco on November 26, 1959.

Notebooks one and two were also dismantled and the contents placed in folders. Notebook 1, 1921-1970, contains reprints, photocopies, articles, and pamphlets on Bunker Hill, Crescent, Galena, and other Coeur d'Alene area mines. Notebook 2 contains reprints, typed papers, and journal articles dealing with the geology of the Coeur d'Alene region.

There is one folder of official company news releases, 1969-1972, and a collection of articles on the Bunker Hill Company, its mine, smelter, and concentrator.

The final items in the series are two oversize scrapbooks containing dividend notices, earnings reports, quarterly reports, reports to employees, etc., for the years 1912-1961.
