Show Without Utah's smelting industry, indus-try, Utah's mining industry would be comparitively small, but together to-gether they make the state the world's leading mining and smelting smelt-ing center. Smelting means much to Utah, as it brings outside products into the state for treatment. Mines in all parts of the West ship their ores to Utah's four smelting plants and at times foreign mines ship their products to the state for reduction. re-duction. Up to the present time operations in the district have been confined to the production of unrefined bullion, bul-lion, which is shipped outside the state for refining. Soon' Utah will have a copper refinery which will greatly add to Utah industry in the form of copper cop-per fabricating plants. Plans tor the refinery are now being drawn up and ground has been broken for the plant near Garfield. Completion of the refinery depends de-pends entirely upon the delivery of materials and equipment. At the present time a tentative date for its completion has been set tor 1950. By completing the cycle ol mining, milling smelting and ref ining in-ing in Utah, the state will receive full utilization of its resources, ano with the addition of fabricators, the state will receive its greatest industrial impetus.
