Show UNIVERSITY GRADUATES FAMOUS MINE MANAGERS "You might do well to pick out a native of Utah if you own a promising promis-ing silver mine and desire to get a manager who will make the most ot it" declares an article wnich appeared appear-ed in the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York. The author of the article on Utah points out the wisdom of such a course and tell that men who were born, raised, and educated edu-cated in Utah are now in charge of three of the outstanding silver mines of the world. The Bawdwin mine of - Burma Mines, Ltd., has as its general su- perintendent A. R. Oberlander, a former "U" student. He is said to have done more than any other individual in-dividual in putting the Bawdwin mines on the map, according to the article. The mine had an output of more than four and a half million tons in one year. More than six million dollars have been distributed in dividends in three years by the Premier bonanza in British Columbia, which is recognized ( as one of the world's leading silver properties. Dale L. Pitt, born in . Utah and a graduate of the Univer- . sity of Utah School of Mines in 1907,. , is general manager of the Premier. f The Tintic Standard, with probably prob-ably the largest developed reserves of I silver ore in North America, has as its assistant manager J. W. Wade, also a native of Utah and graduate of the University of Utah School of: Mines. "Other states may have produced more men who are successful silver- j mine managers than Utah," the ar-1 ticle states in conclusion, "but the I showing made for the intermountair. j 'state and i's school of mines is cer-! tainly good. Perhaps living and learning in the leading silver-pro- i lucing state of the Union is a contributing con-tributing cause." |
