When he broached his seemingly wild dream, wise men in the mining game shook their heads, but now many of these wiseacres are mourning their inability to look into the future. The Utah Copper employs several thousand men daily. In fact,, since 1904, when the company.. was organized, the Utah Copper has paid employes for labor, for supplies, etc., over $312,929,000. The company has built entire cities on a former desert waste which formerly was not considered worth the taxes paid on the land. The company has paid in dividends $147,248,442.50, and many men have become rich because of their faith in this property. , The Utah Copper is the largest open cut copper mine in the world, and today is one of the largest business concerns of the state, as well as one of the biggest taxpayers.

The civic needs and requirements of Salt Lake City as they relate to industrial development and business expansion will also present a field for study, With this information at hand and fully digested, the Chamber of Commerce will be in a position to formulate a definite program and lay out a specific plan of industrial publicity and promotion for Salt Lake City and Utah, founded upon facts. Surveys also disclose the assets and liabilities of a city so that it will be possible to capitalize the assets and correct deficiencies wherever possible. pro- gram, the fundamental facts relating to the city must first be ascertained.: Arrangements will be made for a comprehensive survey which will disclose industrial conditions as they are, character of factories most likely to succeed jiere, the possibility of development of those already here, and such collateral information as will aid ex--.; panding industrial production of this . . city. It is also essential to know the char--. acter of pur markets, the requirements, and demands thereof, the extent to which we are filling these demands, d . n, secretary; C. V.

We want more payrolls every community does and every community is fighting to get them. The question is: Which Indus- tries will thrive here better than any-where else? in other words, what is our market and what groups should we reach what have we to sell? It is logical to find out It may be discovered that we have such a strong appeal for certain industries that we would be entirely justified in spending all for Industrial purposes. We might discover the reverse is true. As one authority on community development expresses it tersely, Cities are fast learning; their cry should be: "Let's get a factory that belongs here.'! That means success for the industry and success for the city. - o Eureka Big electric hoist will speed shipment of Eureka Hill mill dump. " .
