Show 12k THE OGDEN (UTAH) 1 Manufacturers Turn Hungry Eyes on Utah's Natural Resources Industrial Future Bright SALT LAKE CITY— The industry is beginning to look at Utah as more than the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville speed course set in a background of beautiful scenic attractions According to an article in the McGraw-Hil- l publication “Chemical Week” the way the industries are eyeing Utah’s lavish larder of natural resources has decidedly brighten- the state ed s trial outlook This has convinced forward-lookinUtahns s that the guaranteed preferred stock in the industrial g state-hold- future They point to the manufac- turing firms including chemical and metallurgical processors that are pushing over the trails blazed by the Mormon pioneers eager to tap the state’s wealth of eral resources Although employing long-rang- e coma Their subsidiary Chemical Salt Production Co owns 1600 acres of pan 'land at the south end of Stansbury Island Chemical Salt is asking the ICC for a $635 per ton rate for rail shipment of crude salt to Tacoma and is trying to persuade the Utah State Land Board to lower its royalty levy on crude salt to five cents per ton The board has insisted on collecting the 10 cent levy it charges for table grade salt If successful in these two attempts Chemical Salt hopes to unload crude salt in Tacoma at $8 per ton The newly formed Deseret Salt Co is also eyeing the Pacific Northwest markets The state’s only producer of sulphuric acid is Garfield Chemical & Mfg Its capacity has increased from 200 tons per day in 1942 to 750 tons per day This is a of copper smelting The market for this product has moved from the Pacific Coast where it sold mainly in 1940 to the Intermountain area the article went on A relatively newcomer in the ammonia field U S Steel’s Chemical Division is expected to be the state’s first nitrogen producer Its ammonia from coke oven gas plant will be the first of its kind in the country The other two companies considering nitrogen production in Utah are planning to base their operation on natural gas but have hesitated because they have been unable to obtain firm long-tercommitments from pipeline companies The coking of Utah coal for steel mills produces coal chemicals Coal resin a product that appears to be pecular to Utah bituminous is extracted for use in paint varnish and ink Several Hydrocarbons Besides' its unique soft coal well-situate- indus- long-rang- e But chemical companies are not ignoring this enormous salt cellar With their present suppliers approaching a limit Hooker Electrochemical and Pennsylvania Salt of Washington are looking to the Great Salt Lake as a source of crude salt for plants at Portland and Ta- min- fewer than 1500 people the state’s chemical future will receive a big forward push with the start of ammonia production next year This will give Utah almost every chemical building block for in tegrated operations If three instead of one major nitrogen producer locates in Utah it will place the state in the uniqueposition of turning out large quantities of all three principal fertilizer components phosphorus and potash Utah has about 13 per cent of the nation’s phosphate rock reserves Most of Idaho’s phosphate deposits (about 43 per cent of the US total) are near Utah’s sulphuric acid center at Garfield This favorable economic situation led to construction of the 5 million dollar Garfield plant of Western Phosphates Inc the magazine said- With sulphuric acid available by pipeline from Garfield Chemi: cal at reasonable rates and vast supplies of phosphate ore in the Western hinterlands nearby is growing beyond Phosphates original estimates There is no production of elemental phosphorus in Utah The Utah Power & Light Co power but algenerates most all of it is under contract to Monsanto for operating furnaces at Montpelier Idaho However if the Echo Park Dam is built just across the border in Colorado it is possible it might provide Utah manufacturers with enough cheap power for elemental phosphorus production Utah’s potash producer Bonneville Ltd is one of the seven largest in the world It turns out more than 70000 tons of 75 per cent potash each year from its operation in the Great Salt Lake Desert near the Nevada line The high freight rates and long haul to markets are offset by an almost inexhaustible reserve of brine which constitutes an ex tremely cheap raw material for d by-produ- ct en SUNDAY MORNING R- 1 r f tzx Utah has several other unusual I hydrocarbons Among them are gilsonite or frozen oil oil shale rock
