| Show output of ores and metals from utah mines in in 1923 the mines of utah made an unusually large output in 1923 according to a statement issued by the department of the interior based on an estimate of V C heikes of the geological survey the value of the gold silver copper copper lead and zinc was vas an increase from in 1922 utah retained its place as the largest silver producer in the united states as well as increasing its output of silver it was third in the production of lead after missouri and idaho and was second only to arizona in the production of copper gold production greatly increased the mine production of gold increased from in 1922 to about in 1923 most of the increase resulted from the smelting smelling sm elting of copper concentrate from the bingham tl west mountain district as both I 1 the utah copper and utah consolidated were producing regularly the united states properties and the utah apex mine produced much gold from lead ore no great change was made in the output of gold old from the park city or the tintic gintic district though the mines were worked intensively the first five months of the year the largest producers of gold were vere the utah copper utah consolidated united states deer trail tra 1 grand central nia niagara ara chief consolidated park utah tintic gintic standard silver king 6 coalition and utah apex mines practically all the gold came from ore or concentrate smelted smelter smelt ed though some ore was treated by in diute piute county and by roasting and leaching in the tintic gintic district tintic gintic standard leads in silver output the mine output of silver increased from ounces in 1922 to about ounces in 1923 the record output of 1922 was exceeded by more than ounces in 1923 but the value was vas less on account of the reduced price of silver every possible effort was made from january to may to market ores containing silver before the expiration of the pittman act and the increase was general from the large producing districts but especially large from the tintic gintic district the tintic gintic standard mining company made an un unusual usual record and had the largest b production of silver of a any chy mine in the state and the chief consolidated mine at eureka for years the largest silver producer was only slightly less in in output other large silver producers follow park utah
