MS-2500 Cominco Ltd. Originals 1896-1985 50 m Microfilm (neg.) 1898-1975 16mm 119 reels [A01502-A01622] Microfilm (neg.) [ca.1910-1960], 1987 35mm [A01285(7)] The Consolidated Mining and Smelting was formed from various properties that were established in the late nineteenth century after the discovery of gold-copper ore at Rossland in 1890. In 1895, A.F. Heinze of Butte, Montana, formed the British Columbia Smelting and Refining Company after he had secured a contract with Le Roi Mining Company of Rossland. Heinze started construction of a smelter at Trail on September 13, 1895 and by January 1896, it had begun operation. In 1898, the Canadian Pacific Railway bought the smelter and the railway Heinze had built from his smelter at Trail to the mines at Rossland together with other railway rights. Before an electrolytic lead refinery was built at Trail in 1902 using the Betts process, lead had to be shipped to the United States for refining. In February 1906, the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. was issued a Dominion charter with the amalgamation of the above mentioned properties. Its first managing director was W.H. Aldridge. Initially the company centered its activities in southeastern BC, chiefly at Rossland and Trail, and employed about 1,000 persons. It has since grown to become one of the world's largest producers of the base metals and chemical fertilizers, the latter being first produced in 1931. On May 16, 1966, the company name was changed to Cominco, Ltd. MS-2500 is an extensive collection of records selected by Cominco, from its offices in Vancouver, Trail, and elsewhere, in 1985, for transfer to the British Columbia Archives and Records Service. The records include: annual reports, early correspondence, financial and legal records, research and development department records, records of metallurgical, smoke, chemical and fertilizer operations, diverse records of Cominco's various mines, subsidiaries, and affiliates, smoke control records, public relations department records, histories of Cominco, and personnel records. The legal department series of documents are organized according to the Cominco assigned identifying number, the first two digits of which group the document by subject. For example, numbers beginning with .02 and .03 refer to legal documents re Rossland. The public relations and advertising series of records were removed from their original filing sequences by Cominco staff for transfer to the Provincial Archives. In that process, evidence of their original order was lost and the series have been reconstructed by Archives’ staff on the basis of physical similarity. In cases where there was no evidence that files have previously existed as a series a note "put into series by Public Archives of British Columbia" has been put beside the series description. The public relations and advertising series contains files relating to the production and management of press releases, brochures on various Cominco operations, employee newsletters, information brochures for employees, shareholder information, some training manuals, files on donations made by Cominco to various community and recreational groups, and information prepared for submission to various regulatory and legislative bodies. The history files series contains original records selected by Cominco officials because they were thought to be of historical interest. Records include: published and unpublished articles; notes on reference questions answered by the Cominco Library; correspondence, research notes, and draft manuscripts connected with the preparation of company histories; and notes,


correspondence, lists of people interviewed, and transcripts connected with Cominco oral history project. A sample of two boxes, out of fifteen, from the smoke control series, of photographic plates of smoke measurements taken at Columbia Gardens have been transferred to the Visual Records accession number 199105-001. The old Rossland employment history cards (no. 28) series includes the following data on the cards: record card number, name, occupation, age, marital status, height, dependents, weight, nationality, birth, citizenship, last employer, length of employment, date leaving, signature, dates of employment, day rate and bonus earnings, clock number, department, division, classification of work, and reason for quitting, transferring or being laid off. Based on a sampling of recorded occupations, the cards appear to cover employment in the Trail operations as well as at the Rossland mines; specific place of employment is not stated on the cards. In the insurance history cards in alphabetical order (no. 29) series, each individual represented in the file is documented by two cards. Card 1 contains the following information: name, man number, record of share certificates received, and occupation/job. Card 2 contains: date of birth, gender, marital status, nationality, date entering service, clock numbers, date of severance, reason, beneficiaries, certificate no. plan "A" group assurance c/w dates, certificate no. plan "B" group assurance c/w amount and monthly premiums, payroll deduction authorization c/w signature in full, man number and name. The general payroll index 1898-1915, found in the IRD (industrial relations division) pay office records, Trail, records series, contains the following information: record of shifts worked, earnings per month, workplace, name, date of birth, nationality, married or single, pay period, clock no., balance, and pick-up balance. In 1916, a new format was introduced along with the existing format and additional information was captured, including: name, department, earning by month and shift, and total bi-monthly. In 1922, the format was changed to a bi-monthly debit-credit sheet with name, date of birth, nationality, marital status, period, ledger page reference, doctor, credit, balance and pick-up balance. In 1927 a “bonus” element was added. In 1932, there was another change in format and the following information was captured: clock no. name, workplace and/or job title, month, man number, month and hours worked, gross, tax, total, and bonus share. Audio visual records transferred to Sound and Moving Images item numbers, T3135-T3147, T4217:1-2, T4245, T4350:1-88, and F1988:17/1-16. Items T3135-3147 consist of oral history interviews with retired Cominco employees conducted by students in 1977 with the assistance of the Provincial Archives. Item list available in Appendix A. Items T4217:1-2 consist of the proceedings of the annual general meetings for Cominco, 1978 and 1980. Items T4245 consist of oral history interviews, some are duplicates of the items catalogued as T3135-T3147. Related textual records may be found in box 431. Item list available in Appendix B. Items T4350:1-88 consist of oral history interviews, radio broadcasts and audio tracks for slide presentations, social events and pension rallies. Item list for T4350 in Appendix C. Items F1988:17/1-16 consist of original footage, printing elements and composite prints related to sixteen film titles. For the most part, they document Cominco operations in British Columbia from 1933 to 1971. A minor portion of the films shows staff and activities related to Cominco operations in other Canadian provinces and territories. One film, "Challenge in the Rock", presents an overview of the mining industry in British Columbia and the Yukon, and another


film, "The March of Power" documents some of Morrison Knudsen's construction activities in the Pacific northwest United States. Photographs transferred to Visual Records accession number 199105-001 and ca. sixty maps to the Map Division, number M90-012. Botanical samples were destroyed with the concurrence of the Royal British Columbia Museum, Curator of Botany. These records are closed until terms of access are determined.

Appendix D: Historic summary of Cominco 1890 Copper-gold ore was discovered at Red Mountain. The War Eagle, Le Roi, Centre Star and other claims were staked, founding the mining camp of Rossland, British Columbia In the next few years the camp developed rapidly shipping its ore via Trail Creek Landing on the Columbia River to U.S. smelters. 1892 The surface outcrop of the Sullivan ore body was found near the present site of Kimberley, British Columbia The St. Eugene lead-zinc mine on Moyie Lake, British Columbia was staked. 1895 A small copper-gold smelter was built by F. Augustus Heinze at Trail Creek Landing for the treatment of Rossland ores. 1896 Heinze built a narrow-gauge railway from Trail to Rossland. 1897 Heinze built a standard-gauge railway from Trail to West Robson the "Columbia and Western Railway".


1898 The Canadian Pacific Railway purchased Heinze's smelter and railway holdings and rights forming a subsidiary, "The Canadian Smelting Works", to operate the smelter. The first plant of the West Kootenay Power and Light Company was completed at Lower Bennington on the Kootenay River, supplying power to Canadian Smelting Works and Rossland mines. 1899 The Canadian Smelting Works completed a lead smelting plant. 1901 The small city of Trail was incorporated. 1902 The world's first electrolytic lead refinery was built at Trail. 1906 The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Limited was formed by the amalgamation of the St. Eugene, Centre Star, and War Eagle mines, the Rossland Power Company and the Canadian Smelting Works. The Canadian Pacific Railway held the controlling interest. 1909 A lease and option to purchase the Sullivan mine at Kimberley was obtained from the Federal Mining and Smelting Company. The option was exercised in 1910 and complete ownership acquired in 1913. 1910 Regular shipments of handpicked Sullivan lead ore to Trail were commenced. 1916 A Pioneer electrolytic zinc plant was completed at Trail, based on crude Sullivan zinc ore. The plant was built on the specific request of the Canadian Government to supply zinc for brass in World War I. Cominco acquired control of the West Kootenay Power and Light Company. 1919 Two and one half years' intensive research on the complex and refractory Sullivan ore culminated in the development of a differential flotation process which made possible the separation of the lead, zinc and iron minerals as high-grade concentrates.


1920 A temporary flotation concentrator for Sullivan ore was started at Trail. It operated successfully for three years. 1923 A concentrator of 3000 tons daily capacity was completed at Chapman Camp, British Columbia, near Kimberley, for treatment of the Sullivan ore. Since increased to 10,000 tons per day. 1920-1930 A period of rapid growth in Cominco's metal production, with large increases in lead and zinc plants and first Trail production of by-product cadmium (1927) and bismuth (1928). Communities of Trail and Kimberley expanded rapidly. 1927 Alleged damage to farms in Washington State by Trail smelter fumes was referred to an international tribunal. Company imposed its own regime of maximum gas content for air in the area, which was well below that imposed by the tribunal; and began to make sulphuric acid from low concentration of sulphur dioxide gas in smelter smoke - the forerunner of Cominco's fertilizer operations. 1930 Construction of sulphuric acid, ammonia and other plants for the manufacture of fertilizer commenced at Trail. 1931 Production of ammonium sulphate and ammonium phosphate fertilizers commenced. 1931-1939 Period of development and expansion in fertilizer production, of the integration of the metallurgical and fertilizer operations and of the establishment of fertilizer markets, in Western Canada, U.S. and overseas. 1935 Cominco acquired 55% (now 74%) interest in Pacific Coast Terminals Company Ltd. 1938 Cominco played a leading role in opening up the Northwest Territories and brought the Con Mine at Yellowknife into production. Cominco obtained ownership of Montana Phosphate Products Company (now Cominco American Inc.) as a source of phosphate rock for the fertilizer plants. 1939-1945


Metal and fertilizer production was expanded to meet the needs of the allied nations. Mercury was produced at a mine brought into operation at Pinchi Lake, British Columbia (1940-1944). The Red Rose tungsten mine near Hazleton, British Columbia was operated from 1942 to 1943. Refined tin production at Kimberley was commenced (1942). The Company constructed and operated ordnance ammonium nitrate plants at Trail (1941) and Calgary (1942) for the Canadian Government later converted to "nitraprill" fertilizer production. Production of "heavy tiater" for the U.S. Government commenced at Trail (1943); 2,500 employees joined the armed forces, of whom 105 died on active service. Many women were employed in the plants. 1946 The Company purchased the Canadian Government plants at Trail and Calgary. 1948 A smelter revision and modernization plan was started. Over a period of years this will cover aspects of feed preparation, a new sintering plant, furnace modernization and smoke treatment. 1949 A new haulageway connecting the Sullivan mine and concentrator and a sink-float plant were completed at Kimberley, British Columbia The Cominco Arena ($500,000) was completed and given to the people of Trail, the first of several major recreational contributions by the Company to communities in which large numbers of employees live. The production of indium commenced at Trail. 1951 The Tulsequah gold-copper-lead-zinc mining properties were brought into production at a cost of $2,500,000. (operation suspended in 1957). 1952 The Bluebell lead-zinc mine on Kootenay Lake was brought into production at a cost of $1,300,000. Construction of the 86-mile transmission line between the Kootenay River power plants and Kimberley was completed. This included the two-mile aerial crossing of Kootenay Lake. ($4,200,000). 1953 The fertilizer plant at Kimberley was completed. ($11,200,000). The 66-ton extension to the zinc plant was completed. ($3,200,000). 1954


The Waneta Power Plant was completed with settings for four units. Two 120,000 h.p. generating units comprised the initial installation. ($35,000,000). 1955 The H.B. zinc-lead mine at Salmo was brought into production ($3,000,000). Operation was suspended in 1966. 1956 The Company established Cominco Products, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary company with fertilizer warehousing and liquid fertilizer conversion facilities, at Spokane, Washington, for product marketing services in the United States. 1957 The Smelter Revision program started in 1948 was completed. ($12,600,000). A new wing was added to the Central Research building at Trail to accommodate the Company's expanded research program. 1958 The zinc melting plant was fully converted to electrical melting and mechanical casting as the modernization program for this section progressed. A natural gas distribution system was installed at the Trail operations. 1959 The Company purchased National Hardware Specialties Limited, which is a zinc die casting plant at Dresden, Ontario, and during the following year, Luster Corporation, Wallaceburg, Ontario, a plant for plating die castings. A small plant was established at Trail to produce very high purity metals and special forms of these for the electronic industry. 1960 A 36,500 tons per year urea plant was completed at Calgary. ($5,500,000). 1961 A 36,500 tons per year pig iron plant at Kimberley was completed at a cost of $7,500,000, the first stage of the Company's iron and steel project. An electronic materials plant using ultra high purity metals from Trail was established by Cominco Products Inc. at Spokane, Washington.


A new plant at Trail began producing 7,300 tons per year of chlorine and 8,000 tons per year of caustic soda. ($2,600,000). 1962 The Wedge copper mine, near Newcastle, New Castle, was brought into production at 750 tons per day. ($2,500,000). The Company brought the subsidiary Coast Copper Company Ltd.'s copper mine at Benson Lake, British Columbia into production at 750 tons per day, concentrating the ore at a mill constructed there by Cominco. ($5,000,000). A $16,000,000 chemical fertilizer and pig iron expansion project was started at Kimberley, British Columbia - to double fertilizer output there to 170,000 tons per year and treble pig iron output to 110,000 tons per year. Major process revisions were completed at the zinc plant, Trail. ($3,000,000). Formation of Cominco Binani Zinc Limited in conjunction with Metal Distributors Limited of Calcutta was announced. Cominco (with a 40% interest) will supervise construction of a zinc smelter and electrolytic refinery, and a sulphuric acid plant. Cost is approximately $12,000,000 and the plants are scheduled for completion late in 1965 or early 1966. A $6,000,000 phosphate rock mining and concentration development on the Douglas property near Philipsburg, Montana, was commenced by Montana Phosphate Products Company Limited, a Cominco subsidiary. 1963 A $1,000,000 expansion of the chlor-alkali plant at Trail was announced. The project will increase present production by 50%.

The Company optioned land at Regina, Saskatchewan for a proposed chemical fertilizer plant. The Company announced construction of a zinc dust plant at Trail. At year-end, plans were announced for a $7,000,000 expansion of Cominco's fertilizer operations at Kimberley to produce additional phosphoric acid to supply the new Regina plant. Cominco-Gardner GinbH established in Dusseldorf, West Germany, to market Cominco metals in Europe (Cominco and Henry Gardner each hold 50% interest). National Hardwares Specialties Ltd., a subsidiary, acquired controlling interest in Schultz Die Casting Company, of Canada Ltd. 1964 A $2.5 million project to increase Cominco's refined zinc capacity by 25,000 tons was announced in January. This is the third step in a major program to prepare the Trail plants to receive lead and zinc concentrates from Pine Point in 1966. The Product Research Centre opened at Sheridan Park near Toronto. The Centre is designed for customer service and to develop new uses for company metals. This is the largest facility of its kind in the world doing end use research on lead and zinc. As part of the expansion plans for Kimberley, a second pig iron furnace was brought into operation and authorization given for construction of a $2 million steel plant. Following a long range program Western Canada Steel Limited was acquired. This company has an annual capacity of 100,000 tons of steel products and has 50% interest in Hawaiian Western Steel Limited, Honolulu, Hawaii. A 15-mile 230-kv transmission line was completed from Waneta power plant to interconnect with the U.S. system. To expand chemical and fertilizer facilities, construction included: extension of Trail sulphuric acid plant; a 36,500ton addition to the Trail ammonia plant; a Trail plant to produce 25,000 tons of zinc-carrying fertilizer annually; a 100,000-ton fertilizer plant at Regina; a 45,000 ton per year extension at the Calgary urea plant; and a $15 million fertilizer plant at Beatrice, Nebraska was started by Cominco Products Incorporated (now Cominco American Incorporated), 1965 During the year the new chemical and fertilizer facilities were completed at Trail, Kimberley, Regina and Calgary.
