WOOL GROWERS COMPANY.
One Of the Important Business Concerns of
Southern Utah.

One o. the Important Business Concerns of
Southern Utah.
This company has handled this season
sixteen hundred thousand pounds of wool,
bulk of which is sold at fair prices. The
company has fully accomplished its object
which was to place the wool growers in an
independent position as to the disposition
of their wool. 1t is recognized by eight out
of every ten wool growers in the southern
country as being decided benefit to their
interests, and they believe in supporting
it. 1t is a fact that the wool growers gen
orally in this section have improved their
woods, and are more careful in preparing
them for market, and that Utah woods to-
day eutrank any territory woods except
Montana. The wool growers are to DE con-
graduated on their pride in bringing their
woods before the great manufacturers of
the each in such condition as to merit their
particular attention. The entire seasons
business would have been satisfactory to
buyers and sellers alike had it not been for
some large failures of wooden manufac-
turers and commission houses in Boston.
In the early part of the season the market
was buoyant and active, but since the
failures it has been slow and unsteady;
however, at the present time the market is
more active and it is hoped prices will ad-
vance. The opposition this season to the
growers mas been much less pronounced,
and it has at last been recognized as one of
the solid wool institutions of Utah. Its
credit east and west and at home is all
that can be desired. Its permanency being
which is due to the intelligence
and perseverance of many determined men,
it is hoped that in future, it will be per
mitted to pursue the even tenor of It's way,
and to unite with any others interested in
the promotion of the great wool industry

OUR COAL SUPPLY.
nexhaustible Fields in the Terri
tory of Utah.
THE MINES OF PLEASANT VALLEY.
Cooking Coal at Castle Gate-The Home Coal
COmpany's Mines at COalville-
Other Fields.

The coal fields of Utah is theme almost
as inexhaustible as the mines.
There is no other section of the country
that is as well supplied with the black dia-
monds, as they are not inaptly termed as
this territory.
The only mines worked, however, are
those at Pleasant Valley, Castle Gate, and
at Coalville. The latter is the pioneer coal
mining region of Utah, and from that point
Salt Lake obtained its sole supply for many
years, even before connection had been
made by rail. In the early days coal haul
ing between Salt Lake city and Coalville
formed considerable of an industry, and
many teams were kept employed at it, the
route to and from the mines being
via Parley's canon. The coal industry in
Summit county is of considerable i'm
portance to that section of Utah, and the
fields being in close proximity to the big
mines of that region, have aided materially
in the mineral development of Park city
and surroundings.
The Home coal company is now operat-
ing nearly if not all the mines of Coalville,
and has ground enough before it to
last over a hundred years, if the average
output were to even reach 500 tons per day.
For over ten years the company has main
tanned an average pay roll of over five
thousand dollars month, and it gives en-
ployment TO small army of men. The
coal mined here is bituminous in it's nature
and is a general favorite with the people of
Salt Lake. The completion Of the Salt Lake
& Eastern will doubtless enable the
company to lay its product down
in this city at from 81 to $3.50
per ton cheaper than it is now sold
The total output of the present year to

READ& BRYAN WINNING BY PLUCK AND
ENTERPRISE.

In our last Christmas issue we predicted
this firm would succeed and be in the front
rank of business. These gentlemen are
working to win, and the ring of their cash
register tells that they are winning.
Everything about their premises denotes
thrift, and that they are up in all the sys
TEN and order of the times. They are men
of the people and the people know it. Their
motto seems to be "live and let live" and
while they are growing, their friends are
growing with them. Their splendid fire
proof store is situated on the corner of
Hague and Main streets, and is the most
complete and best equipped business house
in the city. They keep large stock of
general merchandise and are prepared to
fill orders, large or small, atprices to please
all. Not only the people of Nephi, but
parties who reside in the southern part of
the territory, will do well to make their
purchases from this firm, as they can save
both time and money.

of this year, 14l, O49 tons had been mined
and shipped.
Since the Pleasant Valley Coal and Coke
company started up its ovens at Castle
Gate in July last, it has shipped $50 tons of
coke, mostly to the Germania smelter, the
management of which say it is first class
article.
FROM OTHER SOURCES.
The product of the coal mines at Amy
and Rock Springs also finds its way to this
city in considerable quantities. In Iron
county there is coal that is said to make
coke of a quality equally as good as the
Connelsville article. However, this is yet
to be determined, although there is little
reason why any doubt should be expressed.
Yielding as largely as they do now. the coal
fields of Utah are practically untouched,
and from them the states and territories of
California, Nevada, Idaho and Montana will
yet be supplied from Utah. And vast as all
our coal reserves have proven to be, there
is every reason to believe that many more
will yet be discovered.

ing for that time to come. Last March Mr..
Fowler, the present superintendent and an
expert on gypsum, was notified of the eX-
istence of these mines by j. S. Tebbets, of
the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Fowler is member of the firm of
Fowler Brothers, Blue Rapids, Kansas,
who are extensive plaster manufacturers,
and at Mr.. Tebbets' suggestion, he went to
Nephi to look at the property. He was at
once struck with the excellent quality of the
gypsum and concluded arrangements by
which he became interested in the com
pany; and the corporation was made with
the above named board of directors.
AtpresenJ the company is shipping two
carloads day from Nephi and in the
spring they expect to be able to turn out
one car per hour, having contracted for
machinery and new plant at cost of
SO, 900 which Mr.. Fowler thinks will en-
able them to make this achievement with
out difficulty.
In an interview with HERALD reporter
recently, Mr. Fowler stated that he was well
acquainted with the quality of the gypsum
mines in Kansas, New York and Nova
Scotia, but none of these mines could equal
in quality the gypsum in Utah. The mine
here is practically inexhaustible, consist
ing of mountain 1000 feet high and pro-
ducing plaster which, according to Mr..
Fowler, is the best on earth. They now
work sixty men and supply the whole of
the west with plaster, fifteen carloads hav
ing been sent to Salt Lake alone.
The Union Pacific railroad has lent a
friendly hand to the operations of the COM
pany: and by giving good freight rate an
immense trade in the northwest has been
opened up. With John McCraken, of
Portland, Oregon, and the Tacoma Trad
ing company, of Tacoma, Washington, as
general northwestern agents, the future of
the Nephi Plaster and Manufacturing com
pany will be an immense one; and the COM
pany promises to be one of the great fac
tors in the prosperity of the ''little Chi
cago''

A Nephi Company which VIII Turn Out a
Car of Plaster Per Hour.
A rapidly growing institution of Nephi,
concerning which Salt Lakers have hitherto
known but little, is the Nephi Plaster and
Manufacturing company, which has been
incorporated, with the following board of
directors:
John Hague, President, Nephi.
John McCraken, Vice-President, Port

George C. Whitmore, Nephi.

The gypsum mines which this company
operates are located about a mile east Of
Nephi, and were discovered by John Hagr e
over twenty years ago. He was aware that
the time would arrive when the value of the
mines would be recognized, and for two de-
cades he kept his eye on the property, wait

Valley In addition to these two lines it is
expected that another line viii soon be con
structed through the city from some point
north in Utah county, through Juab
counties and the COMMITTEES south, ultimately
terminating at the Pacific coast in Cali
ornia. Surveyors are in the field and ne
gOtiations are being made for depot grounds
and rights of way into and through the
city.
HOTELS.
One large and comfortable hotel on Main
street has lately been erected and an excel
lent opportunity is afforded for investment
in another building of this character. This
is one of the things needed in Nephi and
better investment could not well be made.
A man of experience in this line of bust
ness need look no further for opportunity.
POPULATION, ETC.
At present the population probably ex-
ceeds four thousand and judging from the
manner in which it has lately increased,
before two years it will be double this
number. To the laborer and capitalist
alike cordial invitation is extended to as
sist in developing the vast resources of the
county of Juab and particularly of Nephi
City. The people will welcome every hon
est, industrious person, and will extend to
him the hospitality of their city and the
hand of friendship. Welcome all
