Grasselli Chemical Co quits Western Field and Idaho leases
The Grasselli Chemical Co of Cleveland will close its Salt Lake City office and withdraw from the western field due to freight rate hikes. It will shift focus to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma mines where haul distances are shorter. The move affects zinc ore buyers and may influence Interstated-Callahan contracts while Utah Zinc expands to handle carbonate ores. The Salt Lake office, run by Ged H. Short, will close after twenty years of operation. The development includes a new mining plant near Wardner and ongoing Two Mile work near Osburn as local mining activity shifts with the Grasselli exit.
