Summer precipitation comes primarily in the form of thunder showers, varying in intensity from light to heavy downpours.

Mining shares the cost meet school, state agency, and building requirements, the Utah legislature voted expenditures greater than anticipated revenues. This will call for more money from taxes. Part will come from plugging tax loopholes, the rest from a statewide property tax levy of about five mills. Mining will carry a big share of the increase, because its assessed valuation is 28 of the state's total.

Without Obligation s. 1 ' j J. f During the past 10 years the cost of producing copper has increased a stagger ing 139 at Kennecotts Utah operations. By comparison, the cost of living index has gone up 27. The story of rising costs can be told again and again in every phase of Kennecotts operations. Supplies and Keith Qolleu MORTUARY ' Service With Beauty and Dignity ; . 24 HOUR 1 . 64 AMBULANCE SHONE WEST 1st NORTH - SERVICE . ' services, including wages, are higher now than they were 10 years ago. And there have been changes at the mine. More waste material must be removed to uncover the ore, ancthe ore itself contains less copper. As a result, much greater quantities of material must be handled to produce the same amount of copper. Because Kennecott controls neither the price of the copper it sells, nor all of its production costs, the problems created by rising costs can be met only by achieving maximum efficiency and economy in all operations. We are trying to accomplish this now a by program of improvements. It is a continuing program that seeks economy and efficiency through improved equipment, the development of better operating methods, the most effective use of supplies and the most efficient use of the work force. The program helps Kennecott produce copper successfully. It helps Kennecott continue to be a productive member of the community, and so produce economic benefits that are so important to the prosperity of our entire state. Source: U. S.
