More Than ST, 100000 Expended in Miners WageS-The
Winter Quarters Mine Tragedy at ScOfieId.
THE-coaI mining Industry in Utah

III HE coal mining industry in Utah
has grown far beyond the bounds
first set on it by the imagination
Of the early deliver after the black
diamonds. Nobody knew there was any
coal in the state until, along in the
ffties a IsospectOr who was looking for
more valuable minerals brought to the
settlement which is now the thriving
town of Coalvilles a chunk of coal which
he had picked up IN one OF the canyons
near the camp. The possibilities of the
discovery were hardly realized by the
pioneers.
Mountain slopes all around them were
covered thickly with what seemed an
inexhaustible supply of wood. 1t was
easier to get than the a and nobody
thought the time would come When the
mountains would be cleared of timber.
So for some years the thought of mining
for cOal did not enter anyOne's head.
But, IS time passed, cabins were built,
mines were opened and timbered, wood
was used IN countless ways until 1t
was seen that natures great reservoir
would soon be emptied.
Then the necessity for a substitute
fuel daWned on the settlers and the
coal mining industry was launched.
This was along in the sixties. From
that time it has been enlarged until
during the year 1900 more than s.. 000.-
000 worth of coal was taken from Utah's
soil and the supply is said to have been
scarcely touched. To do his work more
than 81, 000. 900 was distributed in wages
to miners alone. leaving out of this
calculation the cost OF improvements at
the various mines of the state.

lighted as happy and cOntented a set
Element as could have been found with
in the confines of the state.
Before that sun had reached it's
zenith, death had reaped a harvest that
spared not one in fifty of Scofeld's
families. In a breath. in the twinkling

state in the Union.
But the states rapid strides toward
the pinnacle of fame as a cOpper-pro-
Queer does not stop here. The Black
bird company, another strong corpora
ton, has secured property in Copper
gulch, and has now commenced to
bring it out. and dozens of other com
panies and individuals are making good
Roadway in the same section.
In addition. the St. George Copper
company is making a famous MINI of
the old Apex property below st. George,
the Uintah Copper company is doing
likewise with the Dyer mine in Uintah
county, and the COcOninO Company is
opening up vast copper deposits in the
Buckskin mountains along the Grand
river in Grand county. With this
passing and brief review, it will not be
hard for the reader to form al approx
innate idea of what the future will de-
VelOp in the era of mining for the red
metal now being entered upon in this
most favored portion Of the vests min
eraI sections.

who had gone TO their daily toll in the
rooms that constitute part of the
Winter Quarters mine, had been swept
into eternity. The story is too recent.
the horror of it all too fresh in the
minds of Utah people, to require more
han passing mention here.
With energy equaled only by the ex-
tent of the disaster, Superintendent
Sharp of the Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany and his cO-cfficerS set about re-
pairing the damage. The fathers and
husbands, the brothers and sons who
had lost their lives. could not be re-
placed, but the Sufferings of the widows
and orphans were lightened. their bur
denS made easier to bear by the minis
trations of Mr. Sharp and the citizens
who so promptly contributed their
money and their time to the cause.
The property loss was most appalling
but in view IF the fatalities this was
for the time lost sight of. Now that
damage has been repaired and the
mines are being worked as before. The
improvements made at Winter Quar-
tiers during the year aggregated $37, 600
In cost. New houses were built and new
tramways arranged in order to facifi-
tate the handling of the coal.
At Clear Creek, where the Pleasant
Valley company is also in control. the
cost of the improvements reached a
LHN|N "a AAhLAAEa d. SDEAA
as Castlegate, however. than at any
other of the cOmpany's mines. Here
Si9.OO0 was expended in improvements
of a permanent character.
The company mined a total of more
than 100000 o n Of coal of which $780,
OJO tons were shipped. The ~payroIls
aggregated $960,000 and 1.059 men were
given steady employment throughout
the year. The coke ovens were kept
in successful operation during a great
part of the twelve months. The OUT
put amounted 10 $1,000 tons.
