Item is a photograph of the town of Anaconda in Montana (U.S.A.). The photograph is a snapshot of a street and the buildings along the side of it. The Anaconda Company is visible in the background including its tall stack that was designed to discharge exhaust gases from the smelter. The Anaconda Company, which began its mining enterprise 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. The town of Anaconda was the mining venture's supporting community and was named after the company. In the foreground of the image there is flat land, grasses and a small town.
