Utah in 1909 was a state built on extraction, and the Sulphite Mining Company belonged to that world of ore, smoke, and railroad freight. Copper from the Bingham Canyon district south of Salt Lake City drew most of the state's mining wealth, and smelting ore there and elsewhere made the air around the mining towns a daily concern. Mining camps in Utah depended on rail links to move ore and supplies, and many of their workers were immigrants from Italy, Greece, and Eastern Europe. Few records describe this company's operations in detail, so this picture is best read as a view of the state's mining industry during its early statehood years.
