Narrative:

On takeoff runway 34R slc at XA00, #1 engine failed at approximately 400 ft AGL. I was flying. We declared an emergency, requested equipment and turned downwind. No vibration or engine stalls were noticed. Returned to slc for an uneventful landing. Accomplished engine failure checklist and 1 engine inoperative follow-up checklists during box pattern back to airport. No fuel was dumped. After landing, engine was intact as reported by fire/rescue. Captain made landing and after inspection aircraft was taxied to the gate. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated the aircraft flew smoothly when the engine failed. Cause of the engine failure was a fuel pump shaft that broke. The so didn't notice the engine failing until the 'engine fail light' illuminated. The first officer, who was flying the aircraft at the time, kept feeding in rudder for directional control, but didn't realize he had an engine failed until the engine fail light came on. Aircraft handled very well. Captain and so went through engine shutdown checklist. An emergency was declared. With checklist completed, the first officer offered the aircraft to the captain to make the landing. The captain then flew the aircraft and completed the flight.
