When the fisherman is one of Kennecott Coppers 90,000 shareholders, he is in business in Utah. The savings he has invested help Kennecotts Utah Copper Division maintain mining, milling and refining operations. And in 1955, those operations resulted in Kennecotts paying a Utah tax bill of $10,750,000.
