Anaconda

Item is a photograph of a sign in front of the Anaconda Company in Montana (U.S.A.). The photo is a snapshot of the sign that reads "Anaconda Anaconda Reduction Dept. The Anaconda Company Stay Alive At Work At Home At Play". In the background a tall stack that was designed to discharge exhaust gases from the smelter is visible. 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.
