perhaps greater progress in agri-
culture, industry and mining than
any state in the West
Although copper mining still held
its place as the states main in
dustry other groups, mainly agri-
culture, ranching, and numbering
made huge gains during the year.
Mining continued the states
greatest industry. During the year
more than $65, 900, 900 (M) of min
eral wealth was yielded by copper,
gold, silver, zinc and lead mines

ment to maintain a four-cent tax
on copper imports was expected to
yield a further boost to copper min
ing.
Substantial amounts of molybde-

minerals also were mined.

Railroad employees received wages
