Show Industries, Men Rise From Small Beginnings ! :: ' .'. -' 'f " ...v-':;- j h t "s& ' ?fi JlT ' -A. I Most, ci tne great industrial enterprises en-terprises of Utah today stand as monuments to men who began their careers in humble circumstances; men who rose from small beginnings begin-nings to leaders in industry and leaders in their communities. Such is the way of democracy and the way democracy must and will be in the future. Out of the current conflict will certainly emfirge a new era of opportunity and reward for individual effort. This is particularly true in the metal mining industry. During the past tbic'.ds virtually no new mines of importance have been developed, and since the present conflict there nas not been sufficient manpower available to perform necessary exploration ex-ploration work to find new ore deposits de-posits to replace those now being depleted. The future reconstruction period will place heavy demands upon the metal mining industry, those mining min-ing gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Possibly history will repeat itself and there will be other men such as Raddatz, Keith, Kearns-, Lainbourne, Jackling and Moffat who advanced from the bottom to industrial leadership. Possibly uo story is more interest mg than the story of E. J. Raddat2 and his 'development of the Tintic Standard mine. Raddatz who migrated mi-grated to Utah in the early 1900! first worked as a laborer in the old Mercur district. He always wanted to do something himself and he located a group of claims in the east Tintic district of Eureka. At first his property was slightlingly re ferred to as "goat pasture," but un daunted by criticism, he succeeded after years of heartbreaking de lopment in opening one of the great mines of the west, the Tintk Standard. |
