that the mines In Utah alone have paid In div divIdends dividends during 1909 the magnitude of the Industry becomes apparent only as one can appreciate the enormity of great things No exact limitation may be placed upon a realization ot of greatness The mines in this state give employment to a a vast army of at men Another great army of at men find employment in the smelters that han handle handle

process and this process demands the use of at a certain kind ot of machInery Again following along this same line to get some Idea ot of the greatness of the claim that Salt Lake Is the big biggest goat gest supply center In the United States one finds that the armies of men at the mInes and the smelters have homes that they use furniture and utensils In these homes and that they also use food Where do they get these necessities Do they find them In the drifts and tun tunnels tunnels nels of the mInes or hIdden In the molten slag ot of the smelters Still further along there are millions of dollars Invested In Irrigation projects In Utah Not In the land and water i alone but In the Improvements that have been put upon the land Machin Machinery ery cement work tools supplies had to be
