For convenience, this report has been divided into the following parts:
1. Copper Refineries . 2. Zinc Plant
3. Rolling Mills (Anaconda Yire and Cable) 4. Ferromanganese Plant 5. General 6. Expenditures 7. Slag Treating Plant, East Helena
1. COPPER REFINERIES The Electrolytic Copper Refinery operated at an average
rate of 52.1J& capacity, and an average current density of 12.6 amperes per square foot, producing 168,326,299 pounds of cathodes. There were 1,239,742 pounds of cathodes shipped dur ing the year.
In addition to the cathodes produced from our own Electro lytic Copper Refinery, we received and treated in our Furnace Refinery 12,914,533 pounds of cathodes fro* Inspiration, Arisona
The Anode Casting Plant operated 228 furnace days in 1950, producing a total of 155,142,993 pounds of copper anodes, including that from anode scrap and miscellaneous copper scrap, 24,990,653 pounds of Miami blister copper and 34,145,465 pounds

of Kennecott blister copper. The No. 1 furnace in the Furnace
Refinery Department operated continuously in anode production
during 1950.
Shipment of blister copper from the Garfield plant of
the American Smelting and Refining Company for account of len-
necott Copper Corporation, which was started in December, 1949,
was continued through June, 1950. We received and treated
33,020,340 pounds from this source, plus 1,125,125 pounds on
hand January 1, 1950, which gave a total treatment of 34,145,465
pounds, from which 33,592,036 pounds of returnable copper was
produced.
.
The Furnace Refinery operated 313 days during the year,
at an average rate of 50.7Sf capacity, producing 176,185,623
pounds of shapes. A total of 188,154,592 pounds of refined cop
per was shipped during the year.
The Scalping Plant operated 243 days in 1950, for a total
of 257 shifts, producing 31,677,234 pounds of scalped wirebar.
Shavings amounted to 2,680,665 pounds, or 8.46$ of wirebar
scalped, which was retreated through the Furnace Refinery. 8,904,851
pounds of scalped wirebar was delivered to the Rolling Kills at
Great Falls, and 23,989,849 pounds was shipped to the American
Brass Company during the year, including 3,905 pounds of silver.
A total of 12,524,787 pounds of silver-bearing copper, containing
53,167 troy ounces of silver, was produced for the American Brass
Company. 55,975 troy ounces of silver was used for this produc tion, giving a loss of 2, 8& ounces for the year.

2. ZINC PLANT All units of the Zinc Plant operated at full load through
out the year with the exception of reduction in power during the months of July, August and September because of atmospheric temperature, and a further reduction in power for the period of August 4 to September 27 due to a shortage of feed.
The total production of zinc cathodes for the year was 331,331,799 pounds, of which IS,114,349 pounds came from the re treatment of zinc plant dross. 2,036,214 pounds of cathodes was produced from zinc oxide recovered from zinc easting plant bag-house. 17,372,532 pounds of zinc, as zinc dust, was returned to the Zinc Leaching Department for solution purification. 3,651,596 pounds of zinc dust was returned to the Purification Residue Plant for solution purification, and 1,024,336 pounds of zinc dust was used in the retreatment of purification residue for the recovery of cadmium,

ROT.T.TKG MILLS DEPARTMENT (ANACONDA WIRE AND CABLE COMPANT) The Bo. I Rod Hill operated 294 shifts and No. 2 Rod Mill
operated 21 shifts daring 1950. The net rod production for the Bo. 1 Kill for the year
was 136,4S3,051 pounds, and the gross production (including serap and scale) was 140.946.955 pounds. The net rod production for the Be. 2 Mill was 4.364.256 pounds, and the gross produc tion was 4.524.372 pounds.
Ve produced 54.470.165 pounds of ox-off rods in 1950 as compared with a production of 30.612.950 pounds in 1949*
A new record high production of 5/16" rods was set on March 22, when 1,724 bars were rolled for a total weight of 536.914 pounds, the previous record of 1,700 bars rolled, with a weight of 530,265 pounds, having been established Novenber 6, 1946. On March 23 the record was again broken when 1,770 bars were rolled for a total weight of 552,353 pounds*
On June 21 a new record for nunber of bars rolled was established when 1,605 bars were rolled into 5/16" rods in an eight-hour shift.
A new record for nunber of bars and total weight of eopper rolled in a continuous 16-hour period was established on Decem ber 27 with 3.310 bars rolled for a total weight of 1,030,121 pounds. This record was broken again on Deeenber 26, when 3,342 bars, weighing 1,042,527 pounds were rolled.
In March the average daily production of 5/16" rods was also an all-time record, with 496,676 pounds per day, the previous
pNYC 00012657

high monthly record haring been established in December, 1946, with 493,493 pounds per day. In April the record was again broken by an arerage daily production of 503,517 pounds. In April a record was also established for the arerage production of 3/3" rods with 507,575 pounds per day, as compared to the prerious record of 431,014 pounds per day, established in December, 1949.
In March a new record in arerage daily production of rods of all sises, on a one-shift basis, was set with an arerage pro duction of 434,635 pounds per shift, the prerious record haring been 476,560 pounds per day, established in November, 1949.
It is particularly gratifying that these record produc tions were obtained without impairment of quality of finished product.
One wire drawing machine was equipped for drawing aluminum wire from purchased rods, and started production during the last half of the year. The production of wire, including wire made into strand, was 3,441,334 pounds. This includes 537,404 pounds of aluminum wire. There was also produced during the year 209,633 pounds of drawn rods, 6,943 pounds of twisted flat wire, and 7,203 pounds of flat wire, making a total wire and drawn rod production of 3,665,623 pounds.

Safety and First Aid Activities He regret to record that there were four accidental deaths from arsine gas poisoning in the Great Falls Seduction Department in 1950. Thirteen departments went through the entire year with out a lost-time injury of any kind. The accident rate for the year was 2.14 total accidents in 1950 against 2.20 in 1949. based on 10,000 shifts worked. The serious accident rate was 0.95 per 10,000 shifts worked as compared with 0.94 in 1949* The tQtal number of accidents for the year amounted to 112, compared with 117 in 1949. ' Safety Meetings were held in the various operating depart ments at regular intervals throughout the year. Many worthwhile suggestions for improvement of working conditions and safety were brought up at these meetings. Several new procedures were started in an effort to arouse interest in'safety on the part of the in dividual employees, notably a system of awards for safety sug gestions. The excellent suggestions entered in this competition seem to justify continuation of this program through 1951* Regular weekly trips were made by the Safety and Welfare Engineer to the city hospitals to visit the sick and injured em ployees. There were 3,542 employee visits to the First Aid stations for treatment of original injuries and 167 visits for treatment of illness. Labor During the year 1950 we hired $17 employees and had 942 separations, leaving a net loss of 125 employees.
