26 MINERALS YEARBOOK

 Silver production decreased from 8,290,966 ounces in 1931 to 6,939,545 ounces
in 1932, or 16 percent. Utah has been the leading silver-producing State,
and held its position in 1932, though only slightly ahead of Idaho. The increased
output of silver by the Silver King Coalition and Park City Consolidated
Cos. resulted in an increase of nearly 300,000 ounces in the output of silver
from the Park City region, but the output from the Tintic district decreased
about 900,000 ounces and the output from the Bingham district decreased nearly
600,000 ounces. The Silver King Coalition mine at Park City was the largest
producer of silver in Utah in 1932, followed closely by the Tintic St~andard
property at Dividend in the Tintic district, which held first place in 1931.
Other large silver producers were the United States Smelting Refining &
Mining Co., Niagara, Park City Consolidated, Eureka Standard, Utah Copper,
and Bluestone Lime & Quartzite Cos.
 Copper production in Utah decreased from 151,236,505 pounds in 1931 to 65,113,000
pounds in 1932; lead decreased from 158,423,453 in 1931 to 123,149,500 pounds
in 1932; and zinc decreased from 74,581,072 pounds in 1931 to 59,150,000
pounds in 1932.
 Washington.—Washington increased its gold output from $60,035 in 1931
to $97,158 in 1932. The production of gold in 1932 came chiefly from the
Boundary Red Mountain mine and the Azurite mine in Whatcom County and from
various properties at Republic, Ferry County.
 The output of silver in Washington decreased from 22,410 ounces in 1931
to 17,500 ounc~és in 1932. About 68 percent of the silver produced
in 1932 came from the siliceous gold ore mined at Republic; most of the remainder
was recovered from lead-zinc ore mined at Metaline Falls.
 Wyoming.—Wyoming increased its gold production from $1,165 in 1931
to $5,129 in 1932. The bulk of the gold production in Wyoming in 1932 came
from shipments of amalgamation and placer buffion from Atlantic City, Fremont
County.
