SUBJECT OF THE HEARING was the request of Corporation and National Lead Company which holds an exclusive right to process magnesium salts from the Great Salt Lake until June 1, 1969, to have their exclusive rights extended for another 18 years. i .1 "I - Number Twenty Six Santa Claus to Visit Tooele Friday 4 57, 1 . m X A V ti p H-- They told the special board would spend the following a mounts of money in developing their industry in Utsf before 1969: fl.567, 000 for solar evaporation ponds; 19.015,000 for a potassium sulphate plant, $1,814.-00- 0 for a magnesium chloride plant; 1769.000 for a pilot plant now underway at operation and Burmester the Calara Plant at Lake Point; 1548,190 at the Henderson, Nev., titanium plant for an electrolitic furnace; 19,000,000 for research and development of facilities; 119,000,000 for an electolytic plant in the Pacific Northwest to take advantage of lower elec trie power rates and a market for chlorine and 13,268,810 for other expansion and expenses in Utah, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest. PRODUCTION OF magesium is expected to be 30,000 tuns a year and employ 80 people in Utah. They expect to spend $800,-00in purchases, 1182,000 in royalties and leases, and 1198,000 in taxes in Utah and a million dollars in wages.

A number of businesses and civic groups and county governments registered protests to the extension of the exclusive rights although no protest was registered to the present arrangement which terminates in 1969.

They expect to invest 130,000-00- 0 in a plant that will employ 350 persons and be in full production by 1968 which will pay 1350.000 to the state in royalties alone.

An estimated 650 million tons of magnesium sulphate, and ISO million tons of potassium chloride are in the lake along with other minerals that total six billion 390 million tons of the various mineral salts. Being added to the total by water washing minerals into the lake is an estimated million tons of the various salts each year. THESE minerals are worth billions of dollars at todays market prices, those attending the hearing were told. Commissioner Buzianis has been told by one company that requested they not be identified that if the lake's magnesium salts are opened to everyone to develop after 1969, they will start construction of a pilot plant in Tooele County immediately to develop their own process to extract the magnesium. They told him they are prepared to spend up to $250,-00- 0 to perfect the process they have in mind. The State Land Board gave H-Corporation from 1961 to 1969 the exclusive right to magnesium extraction on the Lake on advise of business experts at the University of Utah who felt that the aid was needed by any company developing a new process . needed to utilize has been lake minerals.
