Statistics compiled by the state
geologist show that during the first
eleven months OF 1914 companies for
the development of Oil fields in the
state of Wyoming were incorporated
with a total capital of $41.240,0O0
Utah mines have paid stockholders
a total in dividends OF $110,716,321: in
1914 alone the dividends aggregated
$500. 003. A general revival of the
mining industry is predicted from In
creased inquiry concerning properties.
During 1914 Utah rose to fourth
place among beet sugar producing
states in the country. Almost $1,000,
900 was paid to farmers for beets

Wyoming's oil production in 1914 Is
estimated by the state geologist at g..
100000 barrels, or approximately the
same as that of 1913, but additional
refinery facilities made the value of
the 1914 production in Wyoming much
greater than that of the 1913 produc.
ton.
Cattle raising in Wyoming produced
$16,225,100; horses, mules and swine
produced $2,S71 ,i04, and dairying and
poultry raising produced $967,4 The
rapid advance in the state of dairying
is notable. The mich cow herds are
growing steadily, both in size and
quality.

profit. Income from the producing in
dustries of the state during the year

imately $500 for each inhabitant, and
not one-half Of the inhabitants are en-
gagged in these industries.
