The meanest thing a woman

back into the dangerous position

Cable Co., supplied with copper.
For Anaconda is not only the larg-
est producer of copper in the
world, but also the largest fabr1-
eating company in the world, with
a fabricating output of 100,00O,0OO
pounds in copper and brass pro-
ducts a month or 100000, 900
pounds of copper year. This is
just little more than one-quarter
of the copper that is at present
consumed a year by the world, and
would just equal Anaconda's pro-
ducing capacity.
Not only will Anaconda be by
long odds the largest producer and
fabricator of copper in the world,
having one-third more producing
capacity than its nearest rival but
Anaconda is also the largest pro-
Queer of zinc in the world, with
about II per cent to Is per cent
of the worlds output, and as yet
Anaconda's immense reserve of
zinc ore in the western part of the
Butte camp are practically IN
touched as the company at present
prefers to buy ore for its electro
lytic zinc refinery at Great Falls
than to produce from its owl
mines.
While Anaconda has completed
the rounding out of its copper re
4 quirements on the producing end
it is not impossible that ultimate
lly the company may acquire inter
ests in. Africa for supplying par
of the copper that it sells abroad
