MEET THE MASONS .~ . .__8

- .It is mighty important to keep the re-verbatory furnaces and the convertors atthe Smelter at Anaconda in tip-top shapefor~they represent a vital cog in the pro-duction of copper. The brick masons areon the job replacing worn or damagedmasonry caused by the tremendous heatto which the furnaces are subjected andproduction is maintained.

SUPPLIES . . . .. ..... 10

Needed supplies must be available with-out delay if the many departments of theReduction Works at Great Falls maintainpeak production. It would be easy tohave a bog-down if there were a delay for

_ parts and supplies. However, the Pur-chasing Department at Great Falls. headedby Gene Morgan, does a good job in keep--ing a stock on hand and ready to be de-livered at a moment's notice. Result is.production of essential metals.

Here's an inside shot of the Butte Hoist.,Compressor Plant showing the cight compressors used to compress air.

p'nttingAirtoWork

••Air can be put to work when it is com-pressed. That's the reason that the BuHeHoist Compressor Plant has the spotlightthrown its way. It is there that the air iscompressed ,which is tapped from manyoutlets around the Butte Hill. Each tapmeans an increase in production as a time.....d labor saving device. Let's see how;t is done.

•

ENORMOUS quantities of Butfe air areput to work and that helps to keep up theproduction of urgently needed metals forUncle Sam each and every day. Fact is,one ton, which is equivalent to 32,680cubic feet of air, at this altitude, is usedfor 'each th ree and one-ha If tons of oreproduced.

Air can be put to work when it iscompressed for then it furnishes thepower for tools and machines used in themines and shops of Butte. In the largermines there is usually a ten-inch air line ....going down the shaft and that air line issupplied, with compressed air from theButte Hoist Compressor Plant or one ofthe other three compressor plants on theHill. A four-inch or smaller air line car-ries the compressed air from the ten-inch

shaft line to the working places on theunderground levels and by tapping theseunderground lines power is provided fordrilling. Any miner will tell you it's awhale of a lot easier and faster to drill to-day with power furnished than it was inthe old days with a hand drill. But thatis only one' of the hundred uses of com-pressed air around Butte.. It furnishes thepower for hoisting many of the cages andskips'; for the air hammers in the black-smith shop; for the air-driven tools inthe mach ine shops; for the bori ng ma-chines in the carpenter shops. You'll findcompressed air being used all over theHill in the shops and mines.

There are four compressor plants inButte: the Leonard, the Bell, the NeverSweat and the Butte Hoist. This story is

about the Butte Hoist Compressor Plantwhich occupies a building- seventy feetwide by three hundred twenty feet long,running north and south, across the roadfrom the shaft of the High Ore Mine.Eight compressors are set in line throughthe length of the building. Sixty thou-sand cubic feet of air a minute filterthrough the' eight air filter units (shownin the opposite page lower left picture)"and into these compressors. The air goesthrough the filters, .which have twoscreens and are packed with metal wool,and through the intake pipes and into thelow pressure cylinder (shown tothe rightin the picture to the right" opposite page) .The air comes in at atmospheric pressure'which is about eleven and three-fourths

. pounds p~r square inch. In the low pres-sure cylinder the air is compressed totwenty-five pounds per square inch. Itthen passes into an inter-cooler in thebasement of thebuilding and moves fromthere to the high pressure cylinder(such as is shown in the picture to theright) where it is compressed to ninetypounds per square inch. It is then ready

air, the electric switch is thrown in, andhe then reverses the valve mechanismand the machine starts to compress air.When starting, the compressed air ex-hausts to the atmosphere. This requirescareful co-ordination between the engi-neer and the operator of the control panel.Irving Nankervis. the electrical operatorat the control panel, and John watch alight on the wall which burns with a flick-ering light until the 75'r. p. m. are at-tained and at that instant the light goesout. That is their signal for action. Johnreverses the valves which result in the loadbeing taken by the motor with powerturned on by Irving.

The lower right picture on page fourshows George Dwyer starting a convertedNorberg compressor. This compressor isstarted by the electrical operator pressinga button on the control board which turnson the electricity. The valves of the en-gine are opened by the engineer and themachine is built to 75 r. p. m. at whichtime the atmospheric valves of the engineare closed and it becomes a compressor.

I

The receivers or storage tanks justoutside the compressor plant (shown in.the top picture) are connected to a seriesof sixteen horizontal receivers or storagetanks (shown in the bottom picture)which are about a quarter of a mile downthe hill. They are connected by an eigh-teen inch air line which connects to aheader allowing the compressed air to en-tel' the tops of the receivers down the hill.

At a short distance above the plantthere is a steel water tank (shown in themiddle picture) which is one hundredfeet in diameter and ten feet in depth.This water tank is also connected to thelower bank of receivers. It's connectedby a forty-two inch water pipe line whichallows the water to enter the bottom ofthe receivers down the hill. The columnof water entering the bottom of these re-ceivers when the steel tank is filled justbalances the ninety-pound pressure of airentering the top of the receivers. Tf thepressure of the air decreases, the water inthe steel tank lowers and the water itselfflows into the lower bank of receivers. Ifthe water in the upper tanks is lowered itindicates that the pressure of the air hasdropped. In other words. this hydrostaticsystem is used to maintain a uniform pres-sure on the air ir: the distribution lines tothe mines and shops. It is aimed to keepthe pressure of the air between ninetypounds and eighty-six pounds at all times.If the pressure goes down as indicated bythe Iowe ring of the water in the steelwater tank, it is necessary to cut in othercompressors to bring the pressure back toninety pounds.

The engineers. oilers and electriciansat the Butte Hoist Compressor Plant do afine job of keeping the pressure at ninetypounds-the required pressure. It is ap-preciated not only by the fellows who usethe power on the Hill but also by UncleSam who needs the metal produced byputting ail' to work.

THE ANVIL CHORUS

WE stand a fair chan'ce of becom'ingthe world's leading nation of gripers.

There are few enterprises in thecourse of the civilian day that don't comein for a gripe of some kind. We're shortof cigarettes. we're short of whiskey;meat is getting tough to get, and now thecrowning ,indignity is twelve o'clock clos-ing. The way you hear it locally, Mon-tana is really getting a rough deal.

Well, since the g'rass always looksgreener on the other side of the fence,let's take a look at it together: In Chicagoone recent weekend, for example, therewasn't a pound of meat to be had for love j

or money. On either coast a steak is un-heard of except at black market prices,and has been unheard of for months. Oneof your editors, working back east, was

\

able to get one package of cigarettes overa period of five weeks; he had to payforty cents for ,it, and the cigarettes werea startling mixture of· sulphur and floorscrapings so violent that the smoker hadto hold on to the building with both handsevery time he took a puff.

The liq~or situation isn't any worsein Montana than anywhere else, and it'sa lot better than in many states. It's truethat in .some places back east, a customercan get a case at a time, but we know fewpeople who can afford 'it, and even if theycould they can drink it only a bottle at atime, so why the gripe? Besides, the stuffas a rule is a form of unidentifiable rot-gut that aids in giving the consumerthereof a green light to the grave.

So far as closing at twelve is con-cerned. in spite of all the squawks itseems to be helping the country as .-whole. There is the small matter of a waryet to be won, and a whole lot of peoplefeel t:hat you can pack in a decent quan-tity of whoopee before midnight and stillbe on .the job the next morning with ahead that doesn't have to be pried throughthe front door.

Anyway, it's still a hell of a lot easierfor us than the boy. in uniform.

People (;' PlacesVINCENT FOSTER, shown in the pic-ture below with his wife, is looking overthe concrete evidence that a hobby canbe something to be proud of. Here's theway Vincent's hobby started. One nightseveral years ago he heard a woman overthe radio tell of her hobby of collectingmatch folders. He liked the idea but de-cided to go a step farther and give it anew twist.

Vincent wrote to aU the governors ofthe forty-eight states and possessions, andto the President and requested their sig-natures, the seal of the state and matchfolders from the state. Match foldersstarted coming in during 1940 and theyare still coming. To date he's receivedovereight hundred different match fold-ers as well as the seals of all the states andthe signatures of the governors. In addi-tion he has letters from the White House,Alaska, Hawaii, China, Italy, England,Australia, Porto Rico, and Guam. He hasreceived from one to thirty match foldersalong with each letter. They are allmounted in the book shown in the picture'below. He made the cover of the book ofthree-eighths inch plywood and bound itin brass and used a piano hin~e. Thepages are twenty inches by twenty inchesand the four hundred pages with the covermake it about four inches in thickness.He keeps it at his home and any timeyou're passing 1619 Holt Housing drop inand see it for yourself.

In addition to seeing Vincent's col-lection of match folders, seals, and sig-natures, you'll enjoy seeing his garden and.flowers. First prize was awarded himlast year by the Great Falls Housing Au-thority. His garden is at the rear of hishome and his front yard is a lovely picture

with its fourteen rose bushes of variousvarieties, Mexican lilies, rhododendronand border flowers,

Vincent has been at the Great FallsPlant for almost twenty years, most ofwhich he's spent at the Zinc Plant.Today as, electrical maintenance manfor the roasters, he is all over the ZincRoaster Department, for there are tenelectric locomotives to be serviced as wellas two forty-ton cranes, one thi rty-toncrane, fourteen roaster motors, six coolersand other electrical equipment. Our guessis that he does a good job on anything hetakes on. We saw the evidence in hiscollection and gardening and his twenty-year record at the Plant speaks for itself ..

IN THE MAIL

A letter received the other day from'John R. Coulter, department foreman atthe Electrolytic Copper Refinery at GreatFalls and well known,4-H Club leader andchampion vegetable grower, reminded usthat it is victory garden time again. Johnstarted instructing his 4-H students onMarch 12th. First lesson was on the useof phosphate fertilizer. (Remember thestory on the phosphate mines at Conda,Idaho?) Each child in John's class willplant his or her own seeds and grow theplants to be transplanted to victory gar-dens which are to be fifty by fifty feet.With the prediction that the food situa-tion on the home front wi II become moredificult this year than ever before, victorygardens may not only be patriotic butthey m~y be actually necessary. UncleSam has requested twenty million for1945. If you need expert advice on yours,get in touch with John.

THERE are two good crews of brickmasons at the Smelter at Anaconda, so wedecided to take one crew in this issue andthe other crew a little later on. Theirwork is so interesting and certainly soimportant to the maintenance of properproduction that we don't want to crowdthem.

That's Floyd Long and his crew inthe big picture at the top. In the front

row are: Ray Petit, Floyd Smith, F. P.Van Wart, Earl Camitsch and Fred Hew-itt. In the back row we see Floyd Long,foreman, Ray Smallwood, Caspar Oimoen,Joe Ryd, Eric Smith, Omar Clavelot andHarry Collins, superintendent. Caspar,Joe and Eric are all bricklayers.·

We got an office shot of Harry goingover some figures with Ed Perro, c1erk-you can see them in the picture to the left.

It was a busy time for these boyswhen we visited them. In the large pic-ture at the top of the facing page a crewis putting in charge holes in the roof ofthe reverb furnace and from left to rightyou will probably recognize Carl Cole.Fred Rainville (both bricklayers), BobMontgomery, John Harold and AntonFleck, all helpers. For these people thisjob on one of the reverb furnaces was notconsidered tough but just.a routine partof the work.

ln those two small pictures just be-low, we thought we would show you two

APRIL 13, 1945

craftsmen working on the wall of the re-verbs. They are Caspar Oimoen and JoeRyd. The man at the right spreadingmortar is Joe Ryd.

That is Eric Smith in the narrow pic-ture at the right working in a tight spoton the front wall of the reverb furnace,and in the picture below we were able toget a shot of Ray Petit, F. P. Van Wartand Earl Camitsch passing bricks to ma-sons.

The reverbs and converters at theSmelter require constant attention andcare because they represent a vital-cog inthe production of copper, and if there isany breakdown, the whole production lineis affected. It is therefore necessary that

. I

the boys keep an ever-watchful eye onthis part of the Smelter. One of the majoroperations is cleaning out the reverbs andreplacing worn or damaged masonry. Thetremendous heat to which the furnacesare subjected makes it essential that thereverbs and converters be kept in tip-topshape all the time.

Most of the folks at the Smelterknow that when the war broke out, it wasnecessary to step up production tremen-dously at the Smelter. This put a greatstrain on existing equipment and it wasessential that facilities be enlarged as rap-idly as possible in order to meet the hugedemands of Uncle Sam for his fightingforces. In those early days, the masonsdug in and worked tooth and nail to en-

APRIL 13, 1945

farge the reverbs to the greatest possiblecapacity. It was no easy job and while itmay be hard sometimes for a mason tofigure just how he is helping to win thewar, anybody can see that equipment ofthis sort must be maintained at the mostefficient peak. It is just as importantas shooting a gun or operating a plane.

I.. onIer to keep the Many 'ciepat'tMentsof the Reduction Works at ereat FallsproducNtg vital war materials for UncleSam, it is iMportant to have needed sup-plies aYaiiable at aU times. That meansthe Purehasing Department must k~ep enthe job. They cIo--and here's how theydo it.

... •FROM fifteen to twenty orders comeinto the Purchasing Department at GreatFalls each day for needed supplies for the•many departments at the Red~ctionWorks. It is most essential for the oper-ation of the plant that these orders befill~d promptly, for if there isn't the ma-terial with which to work, production willbe at a standstill. For example, if thepoles from Bonner for the poling opera-tions at the Furnace' Refinery weren'tavailable when needed, it would hinderproduction. The same is true if the chem-icals and thousands of other items neededby the departments for their successfuloperation are not on hand.

It takes planning to have the sup-plies on hand when needed, and it is thejob of the Purchasing Department tomake the plans and carry them throughso that no needed material will be lacking.

All material ordered locally for theplant is either written up on a local orderbook which is in triplicate form or else ona requisition, depending on the materialinvolved. All other material is ordered onrequisitions which are written up in tripli-cate form. One copy is sent to the ButtePurchasing Department through whichthe orders are placed; one copy is sent tothe warehouse to await the arrival of thematerial; and one copy is retained for thefi les in the Purchasing Department office.

All stock items are coded accordingto material and location and are sent to

• the business machines room to be enteredon the stock cards as being.on order. Proofsheets are run on all transactions and arecompared in the office for possible mis-takes. When the supplies ordered arrivein Great Falls, the felJows in the ware-house check them in, as you know fromthe story on the warehouse recently usedin Copper Commando. After the materialhas been checked in on the original requi-sitions, the requisitions are returned to thePurchasing Department. When the ma-terials have been checked, the depart-ment placing the original order is calledand advised of its receipt, and it is paid

APRIL 13. 1945

tor by warehouse order. The warehouseorder is a source of charge against the de-partment. However,"if the supplies ar,estored in the warehouse or anyone of theseventy storage locations around theplant, the department is not charged withthe supplies until they are taken from thestorage location.

,.

Lillian Stlha (you'llsea her in a laterissue of Copper'Commando covering theI. B. M. Department; she was pulling>cards to be priced when we covered thatdepartment) checks extensions on all in-voices received at the Great Falls plant.Each invoice is given a file number-and,at the same time, is matched up by requi-sition to be cross-referenced. At that..time, she makes up a listing of the in-voices received which is entered in thepurchase book.

!As this is finished. the invoices are

passed along to A. N. Peterson. who is thefreight receiving clerk. Pete places allorders for material bought locally. Healso checks in all material received againstinvoices, and requisitions. applies freightand express, and makes a report of a" ma-terial received. The original of his report "is sent to the Purchasing Department inButte for their records, and the duplicatecopy remains in the files. Carol Miller,comparing invoices with Mr. Peterson,was a temporary vacation employee ..

When the invoices are finished, theyare passed along to Walter Medved. whois pricing clerk. His job is to check in allstock material received on invoices as toquantity and also to figure all invoicescoming into the department for prices.

Mildred Monsos, shown in the lowerpicture, has an officeto herself. She han-dles all requisitions for material orderedand received and is in charge of the verycomplete filing system.

Frank Blair, in the picture belowRalph's, has charge of the stock books forall material used in the plant. Everythingis handled by ·cards. and Frank codes theorders for the tabulating machines.

That's Loretta Schroeder in the mid-dle picture at the fries. Loretta left thePurchasing Department on March 1.
