Text Appearing Before Image: wer-ful machinery and gangs of workers, comprise an in-dustrial town hidden in the mountains. The second large copper property operated by theGuggenheim interests in Chile is at Chuquicamata, inthe high deserts of the province of Antofagasta, at about11,000 feet above sea level. The region has long beenfamous for its copper-ore deposits, and small, richveins have been worked during and since colonial times. Most of these high-grade ores have been exhaustednear the surface, whatever may lie hidden in the heartof the region: the principle adopted by the Chile CopperCompany, as that of the Braden, is to attack largebodies of low-grade ore upon a big scale and in a scien-tific manner. But Chuqui is an open-air mine situ-ated on a tawny desert, in extraordinary contrast withEl Teniente, and the actual processes employed are dif-ferent because the two bodies of ores differ in composi-tion. Chuquicamata is reached by way of the Antofagastaand Bolivia Railway. An all-day ride from Antofagasta
