Enormous Copper Ore Loss From Anaconda Mines Fire
A major fire at the Tramway Leonard and West Colusa mines has sealed off a vast copper ore district from the 2250 foot level to the surface. Estimated direct losses reach up to a million dollars with ore valued at millions ruined as cement bulkheads confine the fire zone. Recovery may take years as Anaconda crews fight the blaze and seal the area while continuing output from other districts.
