Speed Mark Threatened on Utah Salt Flats
Irving Dix reports on the Bonneville Salt Flats as Ab Jenkins and others prepare to challenge Sir Malcolm Campbell’s land speed record of 301.1349 mph. Jenkins aims for the measured mile with the Mormon Meteor I, aided by two Curtiss-Wright motors and a streamlined cockpit. Fellow contenders Harlan Fengler and Capt. George Eyston may join, while Campbell’s Bluebird, fueled by diesel, could be overtaken on the fast salt surface. The salted plain near Salt Lake City is described as uniquely swift after recent rains hardening the track, drawing global attention to American speed efforts.

Utah nonferrous mining wealth and its Utah distribution
Analysis of Utah's nonferrous metal industry from 1920 to 1930 shows $626 million in wages and purchases, with most spent in-state. Per capita impacts exceed $2,000, about 45 percent of total income from mining. Stockholders earned about 8.2% of ore value, taxes and freight reduce net earnings, and operating profits averaged near 49% across the decade. Prospects hinge on attracting capital, competitive commissions, and maintaining in-state processing to prevent decline.
