Talk:Anaconda Copper

message: I'd love to see any references about Ryan and this "great speculation" and the Senate hearings.  Marcosson's book (I know it's not exactly unbiased) more or less says the government was investigating the copper industry as a whole, and that the charges were unfounded.  No mention of Ryan dying in poverty (this I specifically doubt since he was still the head of Anaconda), just that when he suddenly died, Kelley took over.  If he died in such shame, it's strange that 2000 mourners showed up at his funeral mass in New York, presided over by the Archbishop of St. Paul.  BSMet94 23:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is some information here about Percy Rockefeller, from a 1932 Time magazine.  This article, not based on Wikipedia, says he died nearly broke, whatever that means.  And this one reports that Ryan died three days before the banking hearings began.   I’m not at all certain that this helps things any; I might be able to find out more with some non-internet research (I live in Butte), but not today. Definitely typical of the mysteries and machinations of the leaders of Butte! Cheers! Geologyguy 00:33, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, when this article first appeared it was a rambling narrative, and much of that is still here.  Might almost be better to start from scratch.  Cheers Geologyguy 19:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on lack of information re labor activities.  And yes, this article needs a lot of work to make it more than the paraphrased merger of several unreferenced newspaper and news magazine articles.BSMet94 15:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Now that some verifiable information is starting to creep into this article, we should work on getting it past the "story to read" stage, and 86-ing the "special note."  Anaconda was a real company and hard records exist documenting its history.  There's no need for an article about Anaconda with a disclaimer saying it's purely anecdotal.

*Oppose. The company is very commonly referred to simply as "Anaconda Copper", and since they owned both of the mines in question, there is little need for making this a dis page. 199.125.109.126 (talk) 01:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: This was a smelting town, adjacent to Phoenix, Greenwood and other mining/smelting centres of the Boundary Country of BC, which was an adjunct to the Inland Empire.  As far as I know it was owned by Anaconda Copper, whatever the DBA was in 1896, although its BCGNIS record simply says it was named for the town in Montana.  There are various other mines and mining centres in British Columbia assocciated with the name Anaconda; some may only use the name honorifically, but many I'm pretty sure are associated with this company, or one of its subsidiaries.Skookum1 (talk) 16:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Anaconda, British Columbia]]

message: One of the sections had unusual language that prompted me to Google for the text, and I found it at http://books.google.com/books?id=vIxtW9cw-DQC&pg=PA216&lpg=PA216 on page 216 of a 1953 book titled "The Worldly Philosophers" by Robert L. Heilbroner. I've added a copypaste tag. 98.234.112.116 (talk) 04:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

message: In the intro: "(Anaconda) currently exists only as a massive environmental liability for BP, the current owner of ARCO."
According to the ARCO article, that company (and hence Anaconda) was sold to Tesoro in 2012. So the latter part is wrong. I don't know if BP retained the prior liabilities in the deal, so that might also be wrong. Either way, the intro needs to be updated. -- PaulxSA (talk) 11:32, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
