The Morenci branch of Phelps Dodge Corpor-
ation, second largest copper producing in the
U.S. is an important factor in the economy of
Greenlee County. The operation produces
more than 100,000 tons of copper per year,
employs nearly 2,000 men. The magic trans-
formation of ore into metallic copper begins
in the concentrator or mill which has a ca-
pacity for handling 50,000 tons per day
ranking it among the largest in the world.
