Though you may be awed by the tremendous tonnage of copper from one camp you will learn from carefully kept statistics that lead has surpassed it by 47. During the 71. yeas from 1864 to 1938, inclusive, 3,720,459 tons of lead was produced, against 2,535,452 tons of the red metal. search for lead mines spread. Soldiers under Gen. Patrick E. Connor discovered ore In Rush valley. Mining called for smelting. Almost as fast as mines were found furnaces sprang up. One of the earliest was built near Stockton in 1864. It was purchased by I. S. Waterman in 1871 and is said to have been operated successfully for a number of years. Also in 1864, a second lead furnace was built at Stockton by the Rush Valley Smelting Co., formed by officers at Camp Douglas. That summer and fall six other smelting furnaces were erected in and around Stock-ton- .

Fewer and bigger plants were In order. Mills were built to concentrate ore preparatory to smelting. By 1911 the dozens of little plants had coagulated into three major smelting companies. The lead smelter of the American Smelting A Refining Co. was constructed at Murray In 1902, the plant of the United State S. R. & M. at Midvale In 1902, and that of the International Smelting Co. at Tooele in 1911. Flotation is now used in the treatment of lead-zinores by the U. S. S. R. & M. Co., the International, the Combined Metals Reduction Co. at Bauer and the Silver King Coalition mill at Park City. The merging of the smaller smelting companies into larger ones made profitable the production of ore theretofore too low grade to mine and smelt and actually Increased the demand for workers. This Is confirmed by figures compiled for December, 1935. It places the number of tons of flotation ore milled in zinc-leaplants at 52,000; tons of charge treated at lead smelters, 31,253; tons of coke used at lead smelters, 4,022; tons of coal used at lead smelters, 1,553; gallons of oil used low-gra- c d Evidencing continued recovery of Utahs great commercial poultry industry, the Utah Poultry Producers association did $8,500,000 worth of business In 1936, according to the annual report released today by Clyde C. Edmonds, association general manager. The increase Is $1,250,000 over the 1935 volume of $7,250,000. Figuring the associations business as 75 per cent of the states total, Mr. Edmonds ' estimates that the poultry industrys gross worth to Utah last year was about $12,000,000, a gain of about 10 per cent over the year previous. Eggs In 1936 accounted for about $4,500,000 of the associations total as compared with $4,000,000 for 1935. At least 90 per cent of these eggs were exported outside the state, bringing In new wealth to help sap-po- rt a substantial portion of the states population. Poultry feed, manufactured mainly from Utah grains and other ingredients, was the second largest Item In at lead smelters, 4,762; feet of gas used at lead smelters, 24,363,000; cost of supplies and equipment used, $135,033.64; paid railroads for freight on products received and shipped, $262,839.95; men on payroll at lead smelters and lead-zin- c flotation mills, 1,387; estimated number of men employed in Utah to produce fuel used by lead smelters, 93; estimated number of men employed in Utah to produce scrap iron, lime sand and lime rock used, 45; estimated number of men employed in Utah by railroads to handle freight In and out of lead smelters and mills, 525; total number of men directly employed In Utah to carry on lead smelting operations, 2,080; estimated dependents for each man employed, 4.3; number of persons in Utah directly dependent upon lead smelting, 8,944. the Assuming, that the number employed indirectly to raise foodstuffs; furnish heat, light, water and amusements; manufacture the goods used and transport and distribute the commodities to the workers and their dependent families, is as great as the number directly employed, we may say that nearly 18,000 persons In Utah depend on the lead smelting Industry for support. And this does not include the men employed at the mines to produce the ore treated. Cache National associations busi- ness. During 1936, some 160,000,006 pounds were sold for approximately e $2,500,000, setting a new high for value of feed business done in any one year since the associations in 1922. A year ago organization the value of feed was $2,000,000. The combined value of Utahs commercial turkey and poultry raising was about $1,250,000, according to the association report. This is roughly $250,000 more than the returns from the 1935 turkey-poultr- y crop. Miscellaneous business amounted to $250,000 again last year. Membership In the Utah Poultry Producers association waa augmented by about 1,000 producers during the last twelve months, swelling the total to 6,000 on January 1, 1937, compared with about 5,000 oq the corresponding day of 1936.
