that Utah lime rock asphalt is I'M
known. The same obstruction was Of
fered by the Barber people against
Utah asphaltum in Minneapolis which,
was overcome and one of the principal
streets of that city is now paved with
the Utah product.
The Wasatch AsphaMum company,
OF this city, is the producer of this
9Sphaltum from its mines in Spanish
Fork canyon and is now very busy in
shipping the crude ores east: recent
oraers received by them demand
sreater output and they are advertising
IN this issue for more miners.
The work done in this city with this
asphaltum by the Culmer-Jennings
PaVlng company between two and
three years ago has admirably with
STOOD all tests put upon it and is now the
PRIDE Of our citizens. The enterprise
displayed in placing Utah asphalt ON
me eastern market is commendable to
une promoters and they should receive
the Endorsement Of all good citizens
who are interested in the development
OF this Important Utah industry.

Commenced For the Big Cotton
wood Power Company.

Such good progress is being made
with the construction Of the plant Of
the Big Cottonwood Power company
shat the setting of poles in the city for
the main line was commenced yester-
day and is to be rushed right ahead

poles to go up within the city limits
was set at the intersection of Third
South and Second East and the main
line is to follow east on Third South
TO Ninth East, then on Roper street to
Eleventh East and on south TO the
canyon. The poles for the main line
are now nearly all distributed along
the route and it is the intention of the
mana cement of the company to send
this outside work Of construction ahead
with all the rapidity possible.
In the near neighborhood of 100 men
are being given employment by the
company and it's contractors and the
end has not been anywhere near
reached. 1T is anticipated that within
the next fifteen days the work at the
head Of the power system will have
been completed. Good progress is also
being made with the construction of
the power house or central station

Montana Woods to England.

Advices received yesterday from the
principal wool markets of the east
were ITO the effect uhalt there has been
a. strong advance in prices all along
the line. due largely to the firmness
of the foreign markets and the com
nencement of buying on the part of
the American manufacturers The
London market is SO stiff that expor-
uation of western woods are being made
TO England. a sale of half a million
pounds of Montana staple for exporta-
tiOn TO Bradford, England at an ad-
vance over the quotations in force ON
this side. was closed up the other day
In New York. The English house
wanted 1900 900 pounds of the wool
and made a bid for the same but
the amount mentioned was all that
the holders of the wool would part
with This does not look as though the
condition of the foreign markets was
causing the wool industry of the Uni
ted States TO lag and become non-re-
munerative. As a matter Of fact the
prices are higher in London than are
those here at home ON the same class
Of staple.
1T is estimated that the fall wool
crop of this territory will be i'm the
neigihborhood of 10000 pounds.
