Bob Haldeman Interview--Kennecott's Braden Mines, Index Pt 5

Taken
from an interview with Bob Haldeman, the new junior engineer at the
Braden Mines in 1941 who rose to become manager of Kennecott Copper
Corporation's (KCC) El Teniente Braden Mines at Sewell, Chile. At one
time this was the largest underground mine in the world. Braden was
acquired from the Guggenheim Brothers in 1915 when Kennecott Corporation
was first formed. Until it was nationalized by a new Chilean Communist
government under Salvadore Allende in 1971, it was Kennecott's richest
copper mine. This interview is a window into how KCC operated during
much of the 20th Century as seen through the eyes of a prominent KCC
manager who rose through the ranks from junior engineer to THE
representative of the KCC in Chile. This interview will also cover the
cataclysmic events revolving around the ultimate Communist take-over,
followed by the counter-coup in 1974 in Chile.    --R
