Mountain View mine, a property of Anaconda Copper Mining, will resume operations Monday morning under general manager John Hitte. About 400 to 600 men will be employed, making it the second large Anaconda property to reopen within a week after Steward mine restarted last Monday, employing almost 500. The combined reopenings reduce the payroll by about 1,000 from prewar levels, as old-time miners and families return to Butte and inexperienced workers fill top jobs while others go underground.
