THE OLD HICKORY COPPER NINE.

I Newhouse will have reason to feel
! proud of what has been accomplished
A mine, thoroughly developed, with
millions Of tons OF ore blocked out
| ready TO be sent to the reduction
! works; a concentrating mill, Of large
proportions, equipped with every mod
| ern device which win tend TO reduce
| the cost OF treatment to q minimum
and a town, indeed--a city, built Of
/ substantial modern homes, with all the
! conyenlances to be had IN a metropolis
| These are among the things brought
| about I'm Beaver county through the
efforts and untlring energy of one who
has been justly styled THE Father Of
Copper Mining In Utah.
NEW TOWN OF NEWHOUsE.
The new town OF Newhouse, now in
| the course Of construction, Is so unlike
| the average mining camp, one can
| hardly realize that Il is In reality--a
| mining camp. Consplcu0usly absent
are the cheap temporary buildings, or,
more appropriately speaking, the
shacks' which usually predomnate In
mining towns. In striking contract TO
! this, one sees on every hand buildings
going up that would be a credit to any
city. Mr.. Newhouse believes In provid-
ing comfortable homes for the employees
of the company and with that purpose
In view numerous cottages have been
built, some are under construction,
while others viii be provided as oc-
caslOn demands it, The structures are
uniform in appearance and contain, In
most cases three, four five and six
rooms. Each one is modern, being pro-
vided with water and electric lights
bath ROOM etc. A reasonable rental is
charged and no one could have any
good reason to complain about the price
fixed. The four room houses go at $40
a month, the five room at $l5, and the
others in proportion. They are con-
structed Of wood frame and the OUT
side is plastered with cement, claimed
to be even more substantial and last
ing than brick.
Everything IN the town OF NeWhouse
has an air OF permanency about II and
this Is strlkngly demonstrated In the
new bunk and boarding houses
shown In the accompanying Illus
trution. These buildings stand upon
cement foundations, as Is the case with
all others in the town. but unlike the
uhNNilkHf hit bAiiN VI hilNh anu AiAN ~
terror walls are ornamented with CO.
ment plaster. The bunk house will be
the sleeping quarters for the unmarried
men, or those who are married and do
not have their families with them. The
bunk house will accommodate $50 per-
CONS and the diningroom at the board
ing house will comfortably seat 100,
NO PLACE FOR SALOONS.
one commendabe feature about the
town OF Newhouse Is the absence OF
saloons and houses OF III repute. IL Is
the pronounced policy OF the manage
ment that no moral degrading instltu-
lions OF this character shall exist IN
the territory over which II has control.
II such Institutions do run Il will be
over the dead line" One energetic
liquor dealer has taken advantage Of
this and has established saloon
about a mile from the main part OF
town
CLUB HOUSE FOR EMPLOYEES.
II Is the intention OF tho company,
however, to maintain a clubhouse for
It's employees. A liquid dispensary will
be run IN connection, as is the case in
an we'll regulated clubs. but no rowdy-
ism will be tolerated and the rules gov
