		Soon the Anaconda Company would take control of the "Richest Hill on Earth," and with it the Butte newspapers and other dailies across the state.
		To friend and foe alike, those dailies became known simply as the "Company papers." Essentially what was good for the Anaconda Company became what was good for Montana in the reporting that appeared in papers statewide.
		The Company divested itself of its newspapers in 1959, but Swibold in his epilogue critiques the lingering effects that its dominance continues to have on Montana to this day.

	Copper - LoveToKnow 1911
		The principal ores of copper are the oxides cuprite and melaconite, the carbonates malachite and chessylite, the basic chloride atacamite, the silicate chrysocolla, the sulphides chalcocite, chalcopyrite, erubescite and tetrahedrite.
		Henry Wilde, in 1875, in depositing copper on iron printing-rollers, recognized this principle and rotated the rollers during electrolysis, thereby renewing the surfaces of metal and liquid in mutual contact, and imparting sufficient motion to the solution to prevent stratification; as an alternative he imparted motion to the electrolyte by means of propeller blades.
		Copper arsenate is similar to cupric phosphate, and the resemblance is to be observed in the naturally occurring copper arsenates, which are generally isomorphous with the corresponding phosphates.

		Due to the proximity of natural resources such as water and timber and the availability of inexpensive labor, the Anaconda Mine soon became one of the leading copper producers in the country.
		In 1894 when Montana voters were given the opportunity to choose the state’s permanent capital, Daly campaigned in favor of moving the capital to Anaconda, while Clark maintained that Anaconda was ruled by mining interests and that the capital should remain in Helena.
		Many of the state’s newest citizens were lured by the silver and copper operations, coal and lead mining, and the development of the lumber industry.

		By 1890, Montana was producing 50 percent of all copper mined in the United States, and had overtaken Michigan as the nation's leading source of the metal.
		Marcus Daly, superintendent and mastermind of the company, oversaw the operation of a vast industrial complex, comprised of numerous mines on the Butte hill and the smelters in Anaconda.
		The foundry contributed to the prosperity of the town of Anaconda and became a source of civic pride while local politicians competed with Helena for the privilege of becoming the State capital.

		In 1923, the Chile Exploration Company was sold to the Anaconda Copper Company, another U.S. company, which also managed the Andes Copper Company in charge of the Salvador deposit, also operated by Codelco since its creation in the 70´s.
		The "chilenization" of Copper, began in 1966 with the approval of Law 16,452 which established the creation of mixed societies with foreign companies in which the State would own 51% of the property of the deposits.
		This allowed the government to legally decide the organization, operation and administration of the nationalized companies and it also established that the faculty to dispose of rights or operate a mining concession could only be exercised on new deposits that were not already being mined or authorized by the law.

	Corporate News at its Worst \| New West Network
		The Copper Press certainly worked to keep a tight lid on mining taxes, and ruthlessly attacked labor organizers and all efforts aimed at enhancing worker health and safety or protecting the environment.
		Indeed, the question that gradually emerges is why the company bothered owning newspapers at all, once the political battles of 1900-1930 were won; overt support of company agendas sometimes backfired, and covert support could have been purchased much more cheaply.
		The sad thing about the Copper Press for much of its run was that it did indeed preclude competition – you can't compete as a business if your rival is in a different and more lucrative business, and is determined to either buy you out or spend you into the ground.

		The Anaconda Company didn't sell the papers until 1959, and Montana thus lagged well behind much of the country in the transition to a more professional genre of journalism.
		There were a few crusading newspapermen, but for the most part one isn't left with the sense that the Anaconda company was successfully crushing popular debate, at least not in the first few decades of the century.
		It was the monolithic and monopolistic dominance of the Anaconda papers that made them a threat, at least for a time, rather than the identity of the ownership.

	Anaconda Sets Layoffs in Butte - New York Times
		The Anaconda Copper Company, a unit of the Atlantic Richfield Company, said that it would lay off 200 employees here, effective Jan. 3, as part of a continuing retrenchment to keep the Berkeley Pit copper mine in production.
		The layoffs are in part a result of low copper prices, which have dropped from $1 a pound to about 73 cents a pound in the past few months, the company said.
		The layoffs follow what Frank Gardiner, general manager of the company's Butte operations, said would be ''record losses'' of more than $50 million this year in operating the sprawling copper mining facilities in Butte.

		Most copper mines in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have much lower grades than Butte; for example, Bisbee in Arizona, yielded over 100 years ago, but modern technology and the current ascending copper prices still enable them to be very profitable today.
