Plans to Treat 1,000 Tons Rock
at Washoe Works—Will Take
in Other Branches.
Special to the Daily Tribune.
Butte, Deo. 28.—Expansion flan? * f
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
are worthy of more than passing utnii
tion, particularity in connection with
this corporation's entry into the field
of the manufacture of fertilizer, a scope
which Is designed to bring the Anaconda
to a position among the leaders of tili«
agriculture necesity.
Railway Is Constructed
ent time in the development of the An
aconda's phosphate deposits near Soda
Springs, Ida,, to which point a branch
line of the Union Pacific has been con
structed, eight miles of road building
necessary. Power connections have been
made and the driving of two tunnels now
1s under way to open phosphate belt,
at a depth of about 200 feet, with these
two working about a half a mile apart.
A crushing plant will be installed for the
crushing of such rock as will be shipped
in its crude state to plants other than
at Anaconda for treatment. In the prep
aration of its own product the phosphate
rock as it is broken down will be shipped
to the Washoe works of the Anaconda
and there converted into fertilizer
through treatment with sulphuric iciil,
two tons of the latter being used to one
ton of phosphate rock..
To Treat 1,000 Tons Daily.
It is planed to ship around 1,000 fons
of rock daily to the Washoe works and
to expedite this work the Anaconda al
ready has two locomotives on the grounr,
has completed its "Y" tracks and shortly
will commence the building of a 3,000 ton
bin. Within three months the company is
planning to be able to ship crude phrts
®bate rock and perhaps a fair sized ton
age of the prepared fertilizer. It has
formed the Western Phosphate company
and its selling organization thus far has
sounded out ♦'he trade with very promis
ing results.
Indicated tonage of phosphate roott
is said to aproximate 200,000,000 ac
cording to circles believed to be in tone»
with the Anaconda, and a supply of ore
adequate for 100 years is assured.
To Produce Sulphuric Acid.
Satisfactory experiments have been
made by the Anaconda's chemists in '-on
nection with the manufacture of sulphur
jc acid anil the company thus enabled to
avail itself of considerable economv in
its'» production which is a factor of n<.
small consequences, particularly as In
the manufacture of fertilizer a channel if
afforded the Anaconda for the use of sul
phuric acid which otherwise is not bad

By Using Cuticura Daily
Prevent these many distressing,
disfiguring skin troubles of child

no other, for every-day toilet and
nursery uses instead of impure,
coarse, or strongly medicated soaps.
Mothers, think of what it means to

' Th ' e Anaconda also is enlarging its
]p a( j reduction operations at Great Falls
the conversion of one of the old Boston
remoteness from the market and big«»
freight rates putting the Anaconda out
of the runnîng in competition with other
sudphuric acid makers, and the company
has had to contend with making enough
acid for its own uses in the flotation
process of concentration of ores and foi
such nearby milling concerns as employ
ihe flotation method, resolving itself into
a situation whereby the Anaconda man
ufactured only three per cent of what js
could of sulphuric acid were there ose
for it, the balance of the sulphuric being
projected into the atmosphere through
the stacks of the smelter and lost.
To Enter the Brass Market
With the Aanconda producing both re
fined copper and zinc at Great Falls,
the two essentials in tliS manufacture of
brass the company is giving this sub
ject attention and has constructed a -5
ton brass furnace at Great Falls with a
view to experiments in the brass line,
and there is expressed little doubt that
in the course of a comparatively short
time the Anaconda will be found in this
branch of endeavor upon a commercial
ing proved successful and now two more
stacks are being altered to serve the
purpose of treating the residues from the
electrolytic zinc plant for their lead con
tent.
May Produce Aluminum
Another subject, engaging the atten
tion of the metallurgists of the Anaconda
is that of the reduction of aluminum,
but at yet no decision has been had.
Electrical power consumption in the pro
duction of aluminum from bauxite, the
chief ore of aluminum clay is so heavj
as to necessitate the giving to the sub
ject considerable experimentation, from
the standpoint, of cost reduction. The
aluminum field is regarded as very large,
but attended as yet by many metallurgi
cal problems which offer study for the
company's chemists and engineers.
Anaconda for sometime with good re
sults, it is said, has been engaged in the
sale through its Chicago office of white
lead and zinc oxide and the production
of metallurgical side lines, in addition to
the production of ferro-manganese has
been given attention.
The copper metal situation is at a
comparatively low ebb, the Anaconda ap
parently doing no more than to maintain
a minimum production and preserve its
working organization. The corporation
is operating at less than 40 per cent ot
capacity. The miners and other crafts
have reconciled themselves to the wage
reduction and no radical talk of any
character is heard, the situation being
understood and appreciation being ex
pressed that the operations are continued
instead of a complete cessation of mining.

Special to The Daily Tribune.
Washington, Dec. 23.—The problem of
affording relief to farmers from condi
tions
sev
into —.
the short session of congress which, on
the surface, has enjoyed a state of
harmonv since convening.
Farmers and their representatives re
fuse to be contented to wait for remedial
legislation until the uew administration
comes into effect March 4, as has been
decided upon respecting proposals for
revision of the tax laws and other mat
ters liable to be the subject of contro
versy. They want, something done at
once.
Batch of Relief Bills.
The legislative hopper has been filled
with bills and resolutions since Decem
ber 0 containing suggestions for reliev
ing credit and marketing difficulties.
Numeroushearings and speeches on the
general subject have occupied attention
of senate and house and various com
mittees to exclusion of many other sub
jects. . ,
Leaders took cousel among themselves
and with President-elect Harding as to
what program should be attempted this
session- He endorsed the pian to take
up general tariff revision January <>•
Repeal of the war laws and suspension
of immigration were the only measures,
aside from regular appropriation bills,
that were decided upon for enactment
this winter.
Western Members Impatient.
Western members who promised their
farmer friends relief at. the earliest
possible moment have been growing im
patient several days with the evident,
intention to hold up all legislation, vir
tually. until the Harding administration
started. Pressed from back home for
action, and facing criticism for failing
to provide remedies, they resolved to
take drastic steps. Thursday all repre
sentatives west of the Mississippi held
a meeting. It was not limited to Repub
licans. Democrats of the west, southwest
and south were invited with a view to a
pull, and a pull altogether, to force
some action.
Do Not Fear Wilson.
The >net. result is a deceision to press
for emergency high protection to lasr for
one year or until a general tariff revision
can be accomplished. The advocates of
remedial legislation believe they should
not halt on the fear or belief in some
quarters that President Wilson would
veto a tariff measure. They think that
'inasmuch as he lias advocated protection)
of the dye stuffs industry he will consent:
to emergency tariff rates on agriculture,
They hope to secure strength from!
among southern Democrats who are in
terested in livestock, beans, sugar, ricé
and some other products, as would be
included in the emergency measure.
Seek Democratic Support.
Strong arguments have been presented
to the ways and means committee that
are counted on bringing Democratic sup-]
port. These hold that the Underwood
Simmons tariff act is not bringing in
rhe customs intended when that measure!
was written because of the abnormally
low rates of exchange abroad. The Eng
li.sh pound sterling, the French franc,
the Italian lire, and the (Jerrnan mark
are worth far less than the American
dollar. When an American buys mer
chandise in these countries and brings it
pound sterling was worth $3.40. as it was
here duties are levied at tiie
the value abroad. When the

recently, compared with its normal value
of about $4.R7. the American purchaser
bought merchandise nmouutiag to about
1,000 pounds there, but being $.'5,490 in
American money. The goods came to the
American port and tariff was levied at
the latter value. It was proposed to levy
an increased rate to more nearly equalize
the foreign value with that of this conn
try and thus collect more revenue and
provide more protection.
^ . ,
Dumping Foreißn Products.
Conditions are similar respecting mer
L ^audise from other countries, and. it
lis claimed, foreign products are being
dumped over here to the injury of west
ern agriculture and products of maaiu
factoring enterprises.
The proposal for an equalizing tariff
has not met with the favor hope,] for by
its advocates. The general turn of opin
ion is toward an emergency tariff for 12
months to be applied omly on agricul
tural products. Advocates of this legis
w j]j afford easier credit and an

t h e ir goods.
lation say the manufacturer should not
kick because he can stop his plant while
farmers cannot.
Herein is danger of a lot of friction.
The manufacturer takes a different view.
He has been complaining, too, about the
tariff situation. To attempt the enact
ment of a tariff on agricultural products
alone is likely to bring a protest from
manufacturers that will be vigorous and
determined. If the western representa
tives fail to get what they want there
will be a lot of hard feeling at the very
outset, of the new administration which
Republicans are anxious to avoid.
Difference of Opinion.
There is naturally great difference of
opinion as to what is best for the relief
of agricultural conditions. The south is
interested because of the difficulties cot
ton growers have had but representa
tives of that section are not at all sure
that a protective tariff is the thing that
will help them. They want something
goods.
The bill to permit farmers to form co
operative associations, which has now
passed senate and house, is expected to
help relieve some of the conditions, but
it is not thought sufficient to remove
inequities that now exist. Revival of
the war finance corporation to assist
in placing cotton and other goods in for
eign markets is being urged. Amend
ment to the federal reserve act to per
mit the financing of agricultural pro
ducts also is strongly favored.
