All hands work on Amalgamated’s new copper smelting plant at Anaconda as steel arrives daily and the mammoth steel frame outlines rise. Rail freight yards near capacity reveal miles of new track and a growing construction zone. The plant aims for unmatched daily output and stands as a model of modern copper industry construction.
In the flaws of Amalgamated’s management two plants will operate and divide the Butte mines output suited to their capacities, preserving the stand-off as the old plant is replaced by the new.
The report outlines future structures around the plant with heights given in feet and inches for several buildings. Details indicate planned development and integration with existing facilities.
In Anaconda the Amalgamated Copper project breaks ground on a massive new smelting complex. Ground was broken last June and progress to finish before winter aims to house a complete plant with a 616 by 43 foot Slant concentrator, roaster, converter, blast furnace and reverberatory, all built of steel and stone. The site shows rail spurs, hundreds of workers, tons of stone, and 100 carloads of steel arriving from Indianapolis as construction accelerates toward next season’s operations.
Seventeen years of fixes and additions have transformed Anaconda and nearby plants into a sprawling copper complex. The Washoe and lower works plans, plus the Carrell expansion, push production toward a projected daily tonnage equal to the old plant. Foremen note 2140 workers, 1400 tons of coal daily, and 340 tons of coke powering roughly 500 tons of refined copper daily for refinery and Atlantic shipments. The shift to modern methods promises a future where older Brueckner furnaces fade as new machinery lowers costs.
