Mining Operations in Montana Start Up at Pittsmont Smelter
The Pittsmont smelter, closed briefly, will restart this morning after a necessary furnace spout change. No pure copper was produced last week, but some will be produced this week. The Baggaley process, devised by Ralph Baggaley, will reduce ore to copper in about two hours. Ore from the 1200-foot level averages 82 to 90 a ton, higher than many Butte district mines. Mr Beardsley, formerly with Tasmania’s Lyell plant, oversees engineering with head smelterman C. M. Allen guiding operations. Development work continues to value the find and its community impact.
