Leonard Mine To Be Closed
The Anaconda Copper Company will curtail copper production by 10 percent by closing the Leonard Mine in Butte Montana. Chairman Clyde E Weed said the move aims to balance output with market demand and that production will run about 20 percent below a year ago. The mine shifted to a five day week last September. Weed did not provide tonnage. Anaconda is the third largest U S copper producer with 1957 output of 117 069 tons from all mines. Phelps Dodge recently cut five times in 18 months totaling 40 percent or 8 500 tons per month under the October 1956 rate. Kennecott Copper has made two curtailments this year.
