Mention need not here be made Of the
numerous varieties of hydrocarbons
which alone might make the region rich.
It is estimated that 32.00O.0o0 tons of
gilsonitc may be dug from the mines OF
the basin. At the present value OF $40
a ton that would. itself. be OF value
Of S1.2S0.O 100000. But gilsonite is only
one Of the 26 members OF the hydro
carbon family to be found here. Great
deposits OF elaterote. wurtzelitc,
weidgerite tabbyite. ozOCeritc. etc. in
crease the estimated hydro-carhon
worth Of the basin to $1,000. 600 600.
Everybody knows some OF the uses 20
which these hydro-CvarbCns can be put.
nobody knows them gll.
Scientists have discovered that over
so bv-products may be made from them.
Among others are mineral rubber. ma
riue paint. paving cement. varnishcs,
lacquers. waterproof paints for guns
and all kinds of steel and woodwork
known to sbipbuildinE. 1t is especially
valuable as coating FOR many. indeed
for most OF metal appliances and APP
paratus which are exposed to the
weather.
Wherever these deposits are found an
abundance OF oil is also available. Ely
perts predict that this region will one
time be rich in this resource.
In a word, the district is one Of on
portunities. Wealth awaits those who
endure and grow with it. Upon all
these facts. and with the cOrrobora tiou
Of the distinguished as well as COM
petent judges who so recently were
here. the assertion is ventured that the
Uintah valley. with the entire rcserva-
tion country. will soon be among the
richest. 81 not the foremost. OF the VAL
leys Of Utah.
