Old Prospector Keeps at Gold Producing Job
Salt Lake City reports show gold production in Utah fell from 4.1 million dollars in 1931 to 2.95 million in 1932 as copper and lead mining slumped. The old prospector, aided by rising gold yields from isolation, now accounts for most gold brought in, likely more than twice pre hardship levels. The state total for all metals is estimated at 28.97 million dollars yearly, down from 48.65 million in 1931.
