Show BKr NEWHOUSE BOOSTS P UTAH'S RESOURCES V Washington D. C Samuel H - Newhouse, prominent Utah min- H ing man and capitalist, who is H in the east, is telling eastern H people that there is not a state H --. in the union that surpasses H" Utah in opportunities for agri- H cultural and mineral develop-H develop-H : ment. Mr. Newhouse believes H that Utah, with her vast unde- H.. veloped coal deposits offers the t ' steel industry a field for develop- HV ment the equal of any and un- B surpassed by none. "All that Hv Utah lacks' says Mr. Newhouse Hnl "is population and an outlet for Bu her resources." B While in Washington Mr. B Newhouse gave' the following H' . interview to the Washington V Post: Hi "Utah has not come into her Hh own, as yet" said Samuel New- L house known as the "father of HL copper mining," in that state, at the Willard. "Our state is H young as far as development of H' resources goes. When I went H there fifteen years ago, and said H that the proprerties carried pay- H ing qualities of copper, I had H- but little support, yet I saw the H ' great Bingham camp . grow from H . a production of 150 tons a month H' to 20,000 tons a day. Eminent H' geologists have asserted that H Utah has more coal than all the H rest of the western states. With H its coking qualities and the vast H deposits of iron, we offer the H . steel industry a field for develop- H ment unsurpassed by other H "; states. We are only unfortunate H t i- in heing between the two great H ' ranges of mountains the Sierra H ft Nevadas and the Rockies. H i'"' ' "There is hardly an acre of H' grazing or timber. Our wool H- cuts a big figure in the total pro- H duction of the United States. H We grow cotton in the south of H Utah; we have all the varieties B of fruits; our grazing lands for J the year round are incompar- able; our marbles and onyx, H building stones of all varieties, H are of the best quality. All we H lack is population and an outlet H . for our resources. I have said Br-4... , -. nothing about our gold, silvers H ''' and lead productions." n |
