Show WHAT HAS DONE it begins to look as if the mining t industry of utah had not been given as much prominence as it really merits we have been very modest in this respect in the past perchance this modest demeanor in regard to utah mines and mining may be ascribed to the fact that so much noise andlous and loud acclamation have accompanied the achievements of older and better known mining states that our mine owners have been really afraid to make any claims in the wa way y of comparison with other mining sections possibly believing that the records made by them would fairly eclipse the infant industry in utah the youngest in the sisterhood of states from time to time however the mining review has advanced the claim that the mines of utah in the way of production have no reason to take a back seat when comparisons pari parl sons are made as to the relative output and dividend disbursements made by other mining see section tion this great region and these comparisons have caused much agreeable surprise in the ranks of home operators as well as among those abroad who are interested in mining affairs not long ago the review made a com parison with the dividends paid by utah and colorado mines for the month of october with the odds greatly in favor of our state in looking over the new year number of mining reporter of denver we notice that a list is given of the total dividends paid by colorado mines up to the first of the present year the a aggregate 9 being r as aa against 44 paid by utah mines the comparison showing that the mines of this state have paid over sixteen millions more in dividends than have the producers of colorado one would hardly believe that this condition could exist an and 1 yet it is a fact facto proven by figures that twenty nine utah mines have hav e paid over sixteen million more than have sixty two colorado mines as will be shown by the deadly parallel paral led column as given below I 1 we cannot believe that the list as given by mining reporter is accurate and complete as the state has undoubtedly produced and disbursed millions which have not been made of record the utah list is also incomplete giving as it does only current dividend payers it being well known that many millions more than the amount above recorded have been maidby ancient and now obsolete mil mining ing companies in the early days of mining in this state As will be seen by glancing over the two columns not one of colorado s mining com coin banies has bas paid out more than four millions while in list one mine the ontario has paid nearly fifteen millions in dividends while another mine the horn silver has bas disbursed over oler five million in velvet mone money y W another mine ilaine has paid over three and four others in the utah column have paid over two this is a splendid showing for the mining industry of utah and one that our people should do a little blowing about for be it known that in the way of rich mining camps and practically inexhaustible deposits of the precious metals of gold silver copper and lead utah is the equal if not the peer of a any y of the other mining sections of this western country COLORADO UTAH acasia ajax adams bouillion beck amanda carisa amazon cent eureka american crescent anchoria leland daly associated daly west boston colorado col orado dixie mining co boston G C eureka hill butterfly terrible gemine keys breece grand central 50 C 0 D galena commodore commod ore geyser marion consolidated horn silver creede grip crip ark mammoth cripple creek con C on maxfield della delia b S mayday may day doctor tack jack pot con mercur elkton con ontario enterprise petro fanny rawlans rawl ins quincy gold belt I 1 silver king gigold ac gold deposit south swansea gold king swansea golden cycle silver shield golden eagle uncle sam golden fleece utah greater gold belt utah con independence con pointer portland santa rita small hopes t smuggler southern boy south winnie squaw mountain 1000 1000 Stratton Strat tons ind tom boy town topics vindicator zoe ingham con iowa iron sliver silver 2 isabella lake city last dollar lillie marian con mary mckinley midget hodoe monument morse nit mt rosa leadville home 2 new zealand con nugget omega 18 orphan belle the raven mining company with headquarters X at price marketed tons of during the month of december ther the coming from the companas comp anys property in indian canyon in in wasatch county the company expects to output about two carloads a week during 1902 the market for this commodity is found in chicago r |
