Anaconda Opens
Aluminum Plant
COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont., I*)
—Anaconda Aluminum Co. took
its place yesterday as the nation’s
fourth aluminum producer fol
lowing dedication of a $65 million
plant which will add 120 million
pounds annually to this country’s
supply of that vital metal.
When the plant was formally
opened in ceremonies Monday,
one of its two long potlines al
ready was in operation and em
ployment was up to 400. By Jan.
1, the plant is expected to be in
full operation.
This marks a new venture for
Anaconda Co., the parent of the
aluminum firm. It long has been
a leading producer of copper, as
well as zinc, lead, manganese and
other metals. But aluminum has
developed into a major competi
tor of copper for many uses.
Aluminum presently is in tight
supply. A number of firms have
announced they plan to enter the
field, and further expansion is
slated by present industry leaders.
The plant feeds on power from |
Hungry Horse Dam seven miles to
the southeast.

Atlin, B.C., Becomes Scene of Multi
Million Dollar Power Wrangle
ATLIN, B.C., Ut)—This minings
town, crowded into the northwest
corner of Canada, yesterday be
came the scene of a multi-million
dollar power wrangle.
The 200 persons in this center
at the gateway to the Klondike
will be given an opportunity to
present briefs on whether they
want a northern industrial em
pire established in the lake-stud
ded district.
Northwest Power Industries,
Ltd., a subsidiary of the giant Fro
bisher, Ltd., plans a first-phase
electric-metallurgical project to
cost $269,950,000—$212,750,000 for
development of 880,000 horse
power and $57,000,000 for con
struction of smelters and refiner
ies for treatment of ores and con
centrates at Taku, which would
be the export port for its products.
Takir is about 15 miles north
east of Juneau and just east of
the Canadian-Alaska boundary at
the head of Taku Inlet which
stretches right through the Alaska
Panhandle. Atlin is about 80 miles
north of Taku.

working in western Canada, is
situated on the east shore of Lake
Atlin, a 90-mile-long body of
water.
The lake is to provide the stor
age reservoir for the initial phases
of the giant hydro project and
will have to be raised several feet
by damming.
A provisional water license has
been granted and hearings at
Atlin and later in Victoria will
bear on the granting of a perma
nent license.
The Northwest plan, announced
last year, was termed the biggest
industrial news in Canada since
the Ungava development in Lab
rador.
The plan involves watersheds
in northern B.C. and the southern
Yukon. Part of the waters of the
2,000-mile Yukon River, which
empties into the Bering Sea, and
other watersheds would be divert
ed through a system of dams, tun
nels and mountain valleys to flow
into the Pacific Ocean south of
Juneau. Power dams would be
built on the Sloko, Nakonake and
Taku Rivers in northen B.C.
The Canadian Federal Govern
ment, which rejected a proposal
of the Aluminum Company of
America to use the same waters
to power an Alaskan project, has
granted Northwest a provisional
license.
Anyone opposing the project
will be heard at the Atlin or Vic
torian meetings.
