This series is divided into four subseries: Sub-Series A: Giroux Consolidated Mines Company, Sub-Series B: Butte and Ely Copper Company, Sub-Series C: Boston and Ely Copper Company, and Sub-Series D: Miscellaneous Companies.

Series II: Consolidated Coppermines Corporation houses correspondence, minutes, reports, maps, and news clippings showing the operations, acquisitions, and disposition of that company between 1907 and 1961.
