The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-12-29

The year 1907 must go down into
Utah history as one of the most re-
markable on record so far as the min
ing industry is concerned. 1t is too
soon to tell positively but, with the
possible exception of Idaho, it is safe
to say that it is the only mining state
i'm the Union that can show such a
wonderful increase in the amount of
metal production and dividends as is
disclosed in the tables bearing on those
subjects. When the year dawned
there was not a single cloud in the
sky and it looked as though the bust
ness Of mining, milling and smelling
would prosper as it had never done be-
fore, not only in Utah, but every
where.
The financial storm gathered and
finally broke loose in it's fury, and one
disaster after another resulted so
quickly that it seemed national ruin
must eventually come. The effects OF
the upheaVal have been felt in Utah,
of course, but nothing like as serious
" as in many OF the other mining
states. That such is the case may be
attributed to the fact that mining in
this state is conducted on a saner
and more conservative basis than in
probably any other.
The number of diVidend-paying
mines was larger than in 1906, and the
amount paid out by the various COM
panies was nearly 100000 greater.
Crippled though the mines have been
through one cause and another all OF
which are familiar to the reader, the
production of metals shows an in
crease of approximately Sl1, $1,000.
This was made possible through i'm
proved conditions in the older mines
and through the addition of many new
producers and the enlarged facilities
provided by the smelling companies.
And even these were crippled through
lack of fuel and transportation facili-
ties for a portion of the year and oc-
casionally by labor troubles, while, to
finish up with, they did not have the
money at their disposal TO keep on
buying ores.
The last two months of the year
were strenuous ones for both prOduc-
er and smelterman. and it cannot be
said at this writing that their trOu-
bles are over yet. 1t may take a
month, or even six months. to get
squaI-ed away again, so 1t is impOssi-
BILE to forecast what the result of ope-
rations for 1908 is likely TO be. Many
changes in the methods and affairs of
the mines and smelling companies ap-
pear to be imminent.
