Flume project eyed to aid farmers near Anaconda
A $2,400 contract awarded to Isaacusen & Co for five miles of ditches through Warn Springs valley to carry water from the Deer Dodge river area toward Stuart. The work supports early removal of tailings from Anaconda Copper Mining Co plants, aiming to restore land fertility. Construction will proceed as frost ends, with contractor Pat Welch resuming near the Washoe plant and extending toward the brewery end. The town of Anaconda faces few new buildings and a population exodus as many seek work elsewhere, amid expectations the Washoe smelter will be built and a copper combine may emerge led by Marcus Daly.
