around 300 people lived in Burke Canyon or nearby.
USD$35,000- Typically it's either just "US$" or "USD". Using both is redundant.
As of December 31, 2012- The associated reference doesn't mention the reference's publication date. Additionally, does this date have to be exact? Would "As of December 2012" work?

Lead Section
In 2002, about 300 people lived in or nearby Burke Canyon- Should we mention that no one lives in the town itself anymore? "Ghost town" isn't really self-explanatory. Maybe later in the article, you can mention when the last residents moved out of Burke itself.
Burke's geographical location- "Burke's location" should be sufficient unless it is ambiguous what type of location this is.
Establishment and labor wars
Beginning in 1884- "In 1884" should do because they discovered lead and silver then. Unless you meant to say the mining began in 1884, in which you should say that instead.
known as the Tiger Mine- you can just say "the Tiger Mine"
In 1887, the Northern Pacific Railway improved upon the rail- I'm not sure what this means. Was there a railroad improvement project?
The town was serviced with trains- In U.S. parlance, the town was serviced by trains, not with.
The limited space purportedly forced businesses- One source says that. Another source, Bill Dunphy, contradicts this. But the current phrasing makes it seem like the awning withdrawal was the popular opinion. Unless the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice says that this is the popular opinion, you should just attribute the statement to them.
though according to Bill Dunphy, a town resident, this was an exaggeration- This should optimally be a new sentence.
Beginning in 1891- again, you should just say "In 1891" because you actually have "began" later on in the sentence.
1 mile- the kilometer distance should also be included, using convert.
killing six people. The U.S. Army forced an end to the strike.- This is unsourced.
Development and further unrest
Subsequent widening of the railroad in 1906 forced the hotel to devise a unique solution given the limited space: The hotel, which straddled the main street and the creek, was modified so that the railroad could run through the hotel lobby; it featured an enclosed walkway constructed above for hotel guests to move between the two halves of the hotel without worry about the train or the weather- this is a run-on. I figure this can be split in 2 or even 3 sentences.
plaguedmay not be objective. What about "affected" or something similarly neutral?
which would become- for consistency with the rest of the sentence, use "which became"
Decline and abandonment
In recent years- "recent" is relative and may get dated.
Climate; Notable people
References
Distances from the Montana and British Columbia borders are approximate; by road, however, the distance traveled to reach these borders from Burke is longer., and the associated text in the lead, could use a source to Google Maps or another mapping service.

I have now checked the references, and they all seem to support the content they are citing, so I'll pass this article. epicgenius ( talk) 22:39, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
