The tonnage produced by the Utah
Fuel company for the past year is the
largest in Hs history, in spite of a
number of handicaps. In fact all the
mines have worked at full capacity
with the one exception of the Sunny
side mines throughout the year, except
when confronted by shortage Of rail
road cars. The company's two famous
Goals, Castle Gate and Clear Greek,
are reaching an ever widening market,
and give promise Of gradually obtain
ing a tremendous distribution. Not
only has the actual mining of coal
been heavy, but numerous other ac-
tivities have been carried on during
the year in the various towns included
in the company's operating territory.
One Of the most serious handicaps
under which the company has labored
during the year has been the uhtavor-
able railroad situation. The shortage
OF cars was aggravated in April by
the sWiichmen Is strike which lasted
long enough 10 create general con-
gcstion that proved difficult TO re-
licvc Another handicap was the fire
in The Sunnyside No. . mine which
made il necessary TO temporarily seal
the property and put the company TO
% tremendous expense to restore IL.
This in addition to the loss suffered
by the halt in production at Sunny
side. The work of rcopening the mine,
however. Is progressing cautiously, but
surely. and mining operations IL is be-
lievcd will be resumed some time next
month.
During the year the small Utah
mine in the Pleasant Valley district
was rcopencd and is now again pro
ducing n good tonnage. No. 4 mine
at Clear Creek Is being rapidly de-
velopcd. thereby adding materially 90
the production of that camp. This
has ncccssitatcd the installation Of a
new aud very large electric hoist The
improved water system NJ Clear Creek
was placed In service during the year
so that the town is now being furnish
ed with an adequate supply of pure
spring water.

Utah Fuel Company

large sun parlors for convalescent pa
tients and nurses quarters have been
added also equipped with every con
venience Trained nurses are now
stationed at these camps so as to give
the injured or sick employees and their
families the very best care and aiten-
ton. It was also necessary during the
year to build additional garages to
accommodate the ever increasing num-
Der Of automobiles owned by employees.
These buildings are Of fireproof con-
struction and are rented at a very
nominal figure,
There is good ground for believing
that the serious loss Of production in
1920 due to a shortage Of railroad cars
will not occur during 1921-at least to
anything like the same degree. The
present announced plans Of the Den
yer and Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific railroads IL materialized gives
ground for expecting that the coal
mines located on the lines Of these
roads. particularly those served exclu-
sively by the Denver and Rio Grande,
will be given more dependable rail-
road and car service and thus permit
them to expand in keeping with the
increasing market for our Utah coal
While the present general slowing up
in all lines Of business is temporarily
causing a slowing up in demand for
coal, It is reasonable TO suppose that
this decrease is not Of a permanent
nature.
The future prospects for a more ex-
tcnsiye market for Utah coal are very
promising, provided always of course
that the railroads serving the coal
mines do their full part toward an in
creased demand for Utah cQnls in 9TH
cr states. One Of the principal factors
in this market growth is the incrcas-
ing demand for coal NJ n substitute
for oil. not only by railroads but by
industries ms we'll The Rocky Noun
tain and Pacific Coast regions give
promise of greatly increased indus
trial activity within the next year,
which Is another favorable factor for
Utah's coal industry.
The people Of Utah are nj last COM
mencing TO appreciate the full import
ancc of the coal industry 10 the state
and are gradually becoming more in
clincd 10 look with more favor upon
&c. They realize that every additional
ton Of Utah coal that moves 70 other
states brings outside money into Utah
and helps the state that much to de-
yclop.

that will make one price for the state

when we get right down to brass

the state. The budget for the city OF

WHY NOT PUT IT TO WORK.

We notice articles in the copper

the electric light charges have been
raised in the copper country The
high price Of coal Is making itself
felt on the shores OF Portage Lake.
The complaints of our neighbors to
the north are remarked about be-
cause OF the fact that they refuse to
embrace the opportunity open
to them TO use the white coal that
is running to waste right at their
doors. We refer to the Sturgeon

Prickett has been trying 10 put to

OF this white coal offer many years
ago and we are now enjoying five

takes care OF the operation and re-
pairs TO the plant but pays the inter-

come due.
