The first half of the year in the

The big copper companies viii be
largely responsible for the increase in
both cases, and at the rate at which
new mines are being brought to the
dividend earning stage. next year viii

ness offers the same chances for max

does mining. and no state in the Union
is forging ahead with greater strides
than Utah.
Labor Situation Favorable.
Utah mines all go TO the deep ard
practically all Of the dumps are con-
nected by rail, while those which are
not carry ores that permit of their
hauling by team to the loading sta

In addition to these natural advan-
