Thompson smelter to reopen for custom ores
H. C Peters reports from Candelaria that the Thompson smelter will resume operations early February after an overhaul to handle custom ores beyond copper. The Candelaria company, owned by International Nickel, plans to ship low grade carbonate ores for market sale, aiming to profit on ore values around ten dollars per unit. This resumption could provide an outlet for nearby mining production.

The project would cost about 4 500 000 dollars and use a ten mile pipeline to divert water.
