Show 5. important were two other developments. The rift among the major stockholders was healed and has remained healed ever since. Secondly, there arose within the company ranks a sense of discontent to limiting the company's activities to only the heavy construction field. The company had in fact undergone in 1945 a partial liquidation, retiring one third of its shares from the profits of the sale of vast ranchlands it had acquired in early years. But It had also taken its first small steps into mining, opening the Iron Springs mine near Cedar City and later a coking coal mine, the Ozark Mine, in Arkansas. New people were brought into the management with new ideas and a willingness to explore new ways of doing things. This brings us to the point in our story of the years of transition. When I joined Utah in 1951 the company was already operating the Iron Springs mine and the Ozark mine and had just given approval to the development of a third mine, a small iron ore property called the Argonnaut mine on Vancouver Island. The company was also engaged in a program designed to earn construction profits on a capital gains basis through the promotion of income-producing properties where the cost of the project could largely be borrowed on a long-term basis and Utah took its construction profit as an equity with the hope of reselling it later at a profit and reporting the income on a capital gains basis. This activity was the seed that led to our entry into the land development business. Originally no property was purchased for inventory but options were obtained on land and exercised only when the project had been put together and was ready to go forward. This initial land activity was largely based on government programs that later were either terminated or became unattractive and the individual handling these transactions for the company necessarily was looking for something to take the place of what he had been doing and doing |
