Slag: An economic savior, or another disappointing business venture?

It’s hard to imagine Anaconda without slag heaps. Driving into town, they’re the first thing visitors see. Large obsidian piles of fine, sand-like byproduct leftover from the days of the Copper Kings.
The stuff is everywhere. You can jump into a pit of slag at the Anaconda Smelter State Park, pick up a handful and let it run through your fingers like sand, except it’s coarser and sharper. You can buy Ziploc baggies of it at the Chamber of Commerce for two bucks each – cash only though. And at Old Works Golf Course, you can get your golf ball stuck in "slag traps."
