Item is a photograph of a man kneeling in front of a tripod taking a photograph of the Anaconda Company in Montana (U.S.A.). The photo is a snapshot of the company's mining operations. A tall stack that was designed to discharge exhaust gases from the smelter is visible in the image as well as building structures and a sign that reads "The Anaconda Company". The Anaconda Company, which began its mining venture in 1884, was involved in copper smelting for almost a century until it closed in 1980. The Anaconda Company, which is a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and is one of the largest mining companies in America, produces copper, aluminum, silver, and also uranium. Anaconda's first copper mine and smelter, however, was established in Montana.
