Amalgamated Copper Mining Company

The Amalgamated Copper Mining Company was a major American corporation in the early 20th century, primarily involved in the extraction and processing of copper. It was formed through mergers of several copper mining companies, aiming to control a large share of the industry. The company managed extensive mining operations, especially in the southwestern United States, and was part of larger industrial consolidations like United States Steel Corporation. Its activities contributed significantly to the growth of the copper supply, which was essential for electrical wiring, construction, and manufacturing during that era.
