In 1884 his friend Paris Gibson, founding father of Great Falls, invited him to visit Montana.

Hill bought mining property, silver options near Rimini and invested in Gibson s Great Falls Townsite Company. He met with Marcus Daley, Butte s future copper baron, and Charles Broadwater, Helena banker and railroad promoter. Hill s visit was to have far reaching Consequences for him and the territories development.
