T. HE salt industry of Utah is unique.
1t increases from year to year only
in proportion with the growth Of
the state and the territory Immediately
outside the confines of Utah which is
supplied by the local concerns. Salt is
a commodity which is universally used
by man and beast, bur market cannot
be made for it. Therefore, the output
of the industry of Utah is necessarily
limited.
But that does not necessarily carry
the imputation that the industry in
Utah is at q standstill; neither is it
meant to convey the impression that it
has no immediate future.
The past year has witnessed an in
crease in the production of salt as
compared with a year ago. But the
increase has been small owing TO the
limited demand. 1t would be decidedly
unfair to compare the business increase
of salt during 1902 with that of NH
ing. farming or horticulture, because
they are capable of creating a market
for themselves. But they did not make
any greater strides during the year just
closed than did the salt business when
the markets of the two are compared
The salt production for 1902 was
little over 40 900 tons, an increase over
1901. Today the local concerns are
masters of the situation. They supply
practically all the local consumption,
and the output increases only in the
same ratio as does the demand owing
to d growing population.

figures on the Utah cost of production

iron from Iron mountain and the coal

ties are transported to a manufacturing

This would make the value of the iron

not include it all.
More than tkis, it costs the steel trust

The principal deposits of iron in Utah
are found in Iron county, twenty miles
east of Lund station. on the Oregon
Short Line, and twelve miles west OF
Cedar City. There, rising out of the
level desert plain, tower aloft three iso-
lated mountains. The highest is Iron
mountain, rising 1900 feet above the
plain and 7,400 feet above the level of the
sea. Seven miles away is Iron Springs

should the occasion demand il. the
renneries Of the state could produce
more than ten times the amount of
marketable and table salt that they
now do. While the plants are not as
large as many others in the United
states, they are Just as completely
equipped. They contain all the latest
machinery, and can produce as fine a
quality of refined salt as any of the
larger refineries in the world.
But refined salt is not the only kind
used in Utah and the territory imme-
dlately outside the confines of the state
There is a growing demand for rock
salt, which is used IN large quantities
by stockmen, and the kind that finds
market with the mining men who ex-
tract ores by the chlorination process.
Consumption in that direction is regu-
lated by the number of mills in OPERA
ton and the amount OF ore treated By
them each year.
The shipments of red rock salt from
the Salina district for 1902 were a If
tie over 1000 tons, an increase over
that Of last year. The salt springs near
Brigham City produced almost 1000
tons of salt last year, which was more
than was turned out during 1901. The
renneries along the shores of Great Salt
lake produced more salt in 1892 than
they did the year before. The orer-oro-
duction is held in reserve In cases of
emergency. II is estimated that one Of
the companies aloae has a reserve sup
ply equal TO about 100000 tons.

BUSINESS OF BANKS
All 10 Healthy Condition, But
Clearings For Obvious Rea-
sons Show Falling Off.

TtHE bank clearings for 1902 show de-
crease of little more than S1o,0OO,O09
as compared with last year. when
they amounted to $1S2. 0SS. SO2.1S.. The
clearings for this year, with the December
figures placed at $4,000 coo, a most con-
servative estimate, are 81, sos. 49, A.
The decrease in the volume of the
elearings does not mean that the banks
have not been as prosperous this year as
they We're in 1871. Just a reverse cOndi-
ton of affairs has existed The Salt Lake
banking institutions were never as pros
porous as during the year just drawing to
Il close. The shrinkage in the business Of
the clearing house is attributed to a num-
Der of legitimate causes In June the T.
X. Jones & Co. bank was absorbed by the
Mccormick bank. meaning one less con-
tributor to the volume of business done
by the clearing house. Last year was
noted in Salt Lake for the contamination
of a number of large deals which had an
initiating effect upon the clearing house
business. Chief among the big deals were
the transactions in the Sugar company
stock. And besides that there were sew
eral large mining deals put through.
which helped the clearing house totals.
The following table shows the business
done each month by the clearing house in
1901 and this year.
