FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp LEAGUE PLAY BEGINS The Bingham Miners open lea-gue play at Murray tonight, in the Region Four play for keeps scram-ble. Coach Udell Wankier's charg-es have had an up and down pre-season this winter, but should be a strong title contender as regular league play develops. The Miners have a pretty fast club, with good balance, although lacking any real tall men. Several regulars will be at or just over the six foot mark, so heighth shouldn't be too much of a problem. Bingham will be competing Jordan, Murray, Cyprus, Tooele, and Granger, and if the Miners jell, they should be close to the top when league play ends. Bingham's first home game will be against Jordan on Friday, Janu-ary 16. All of Bingham's home games will be free to BDAA mem-bers, and reserved seats may be obtained by paying the difference between these and general admis-sion. Only two reserved seat tick-ets may be purchased on one mem-bership. Home games will begin at 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. MEETING MONDAY The annual election of officers for the BDAA Board of Directors will bn held at the regular meeting Monday, January 12, at 5:00 p.m. at the City Hall. Regular business, and programs for 1959 will be dis-cussed and planned. All present members of the Board of Directors are urged to be present. A fOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D.

WORLD'S LARGEST SMELTER NOW PART OF KENNECOTT COPPER e Kennecott's production of rp per in Utah became a fully inte-grated operation last Friday when the world's largest copper smelter located west of Magna became part of the Utah Copper Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation. Owned and operated by the American Smelting ar.d Refining Company since it was built in 1906 the smelter was purchased by Ken-necott in 1958 with ownership to change hands January 2, 1 9S9r The Utah Copper Division op-eration now includes the world-fame- d open-pi- t copper mine at Bingham Canyon, the two ore con-centrating mills and the electro-lytic refinery at Magna in addition to the smelter. Acquisition of the smelter is an important step in Kennecott's over all integration of its copper pro-ducing facilities and operations in Utah as well as in the other states in which it operates. Integration will give Kennecott full operation-al control over the entire sequence of copper production. Smelting and Refining Co. Erection of shop facilities were carried for-ward at a rapid rate while the ground was being cleared for in-stallation of smelting facilities. Construction of flues and a stack on the northern slopes of the Oquirrh mountains was started in late October of 1905 and continued through the winter months. By August of 1906, construction was far enough along to permit smelt-ing operations, Men of all nationalities were employed in constructing the plant. Since no housing was available at the relatively isolated location, many of these men and their fam-ilies lived in tents near the smelter railroad depot until permanent quarters could be constructed. The original plant design called for two reverberatory furnaces, two blast furnaces, six acid lined converters and eight roasters. The first reverbs were 9 feet wide and 112 feet long. As in most smelting plants of that era, they were heat-ed by means of hand fired coal IT'Zyry? ' s " , ski ' I In commenting on the addition of the smelter to the Utah Copper Division, F. C. Creen, general man-ager said, "The Garfield Smelter has a long and fine tradition, and we are proud to have it as a part of the Kennecott organization. This integration which is practical and important, will complete Ken-necott's mine-to-mark- operations in Utah. The uniting of these two great Utah enterprises will further assure the continued successful production of copper in our state." There will be no change in ownership of the Garfield Chemical and Manufacturing Corp., a large producer of sulphuric acid from smelter gases. ASARCO and Ken-necott will retain 50 of the cap-ital stock of this corporation, of-ficials said. The smelter was built to smelt ores from the then new Bingham Canyon open-pi- t mine of the Utah Copper Company. The original in-stallation had a daily capacity of 500 tons of ore and concentrates. The plant, enlarged and moderniz-ed over the years, now processes approximately 625,000 tons of concentrate a year. Actual construction of the Gar-field Smelter began in August of 1905 under the direction of Karl tilers, vice president of American grates. Operations were subse-quently improved with t change to oil in 1911, powdered coal in 1915 and natural gas in 1930. The first fire was started in the number one reverberatory furnace at the smelter on Labor Day, 1906. Although numerous modifications and improvements were necessary during the first few months of op-eration, smelting efficiency was gradually increased, ' In the ensuing years, additional reverberatories were constructed and other changes made in exist-ing units, particularly in the waste heat boiler installation and meth-ods of charging. Additions and modernization of the original equip ment in other parts of the plant kept pace with the improvements in the reverberatories. Although blast furnaces operat-ed at the plant from 1906 to 1922, development of the flotation pro-cess produced copper concentrate of a fine nature unsuited to blast furnace treatment and they were abandoned. Other subsequent expansions soon made the smelter the largest in the world. During World War II, when copper production in Utah was at capacity, the smelter treat-ed over 4,000 tons of concentrate per day.
