South State St., Murray, Utah Phone Midvale 93R1 firt half of hi, address Mr. Hunt has pictured the loss by Utah of two-thirof Ita jrountr people and suggested industrialization aa a remedy. This last half deals specifically with industrialization). Southern Utah and a few make more than 4 of them do and also because much of the ore is low grade and yields a very low margin of profit to the metal mining Utah from 1920 to distributed In wages, salaries, purchases of supplies and services In Utah $526,000,000, or somewhat more than $1000 for each man, woman and child in the state. The greater part of this huge disbursement was spent within the state at least once before the money left the state, which would account for more than $2000 of per capita gross Income, which amounts to of the total gross income about 45 of the people of Utah having been derived directly and Indirectly metal mining from the industry. These disbursements In Utah represented approximately 77 6 of fhe gross value of the ores produced In the state In this decade. in The gross Included about 3 state and local taxes. In federal taxes about 2'',; stockholders of In mining companies received 8.2 net earnings and the balance was absorbed In freight charges outside the state, refining costa, . metallurgical losses and selling expenses, if we Include the last six years In this average, the net profits of mine stockholders have averof the aged slightly less than 4 value of the ores produced. There are two ways of Interpreting such figures. One, unfortunately the more popular. Is to protest that 3 of the $659,000,000 of ore, representing state and local taxes, Is an inadequate return of the wealth produced. The other, and the way we should adopt if the mineral industry in Utah Is to grow, is to compare the earnings of mine, stockholders with the new wealth this Industry distributes directly and indirectly in Utah. In the 1920 30 decade the people of Utah received about 9H times as much from the mining industry as did the stockholders; from 1920 to 1935 Inclusive, they received more than 20 times as much Income from mining as the stockholders. If Utah can get its natural resources converted to money wealth and have distributed in this state 75 to 80 of this wealth for an average commission, over years of prosperity and depression, of not to exceed 4 of the wealth produced, and If those receiving the commissions furnish all the capital and assume all the risks, then we have made a very good bargain indeed. This le possible because every mine operator hopes to producer. The Industry, we must remember, Is in severe competition with mining In other states and countries. We are in competition in securing capital for the development of our mines. If other regions offer better commissions than does Utah they will attract investments and the Industry in Utah will slowly die out Utah mines must also be able to produce s pound of metal and sell it in consuming centers as cheaply as competitors. The grade of ores in Utah Is generally lower than In competing states, our taxes 2 to 2H times higher in Utah and onr shipping costs somewhat above the As offsets: Our ore average. bodies are generally continuous for long distances; Salt Lake Valore ley is the greatest smelting center In the world and electric power rrd climatic conditions are favorable. Mining Is In a delicate balance. Unwise legislation will not does every mine in the state, but It could easily slow mining down until It plays a minor part in our industrial economy. We know little of the wealth of natural resources in Utah except that they are very great A radius centering at Lund Junction incloses a huge monzonl-ti- c bathollth which, where it has broken through the overlaying sediments, has deposited gold, sliver, lead, slue and copper ores for which a quarter of million dollars has already been realized. Near Cedar City are the greatest deposits of aluminum ore in the world at least 200,000,000 tons. Oil drilling In southeastern Utah has disclosed huge deposits of salines containing 10 of to 12 magnesia. Utahs coal deposits, estimated at over 180,000,000,000 tons, are six times the reserves of the great coal state of Pennsylvania. In Iron county alona the iron ore reserves are greater than e those of over which France and Germany have fought for the last 850 years. In Utah, tor a time at least, ws have reached the limits of our surface development We must get below the surface. Ws do not need, nor should we expect, a rapid development of our mineral resources. It we can expand them only a tew percent a year we shall be able to care tor our growing population. ADDRESS OF PAUL H.
