Around the turn of the century he visited Garnet, Montana one 
summer shortly after the death of his uncle Henry Grant.  He 
befriended Henry's former partner, Edward "Ed" McGone.  The 
following summer he returned to Garnet and worked in the mines 
with Ed McGone between about 1900-1910.  He developed a strong 
affection for Garnet and later purchased an interest in the Mary 
Anderson Mine.  Many years later he purchased the remainder of the 
Mary Anderson claim transferring it to his grandson A. Gordon 
Grant, Junior.  

This property was donated to the Garnet Preservation Association 
and Bureau of Land Management with the hope that it will be 
preserved for future generations.  This generous donation includes 
many of the remaining downtown commercial buildings, the old town 
jail, the school house and numerous cabins.
