uiicCI llue W LOS Angeles ana the
new one being constructed to San
Francisco from Salt Lake
This article is not intended as a de-
scription of a smelling plant, but
merely to show the great amount of
work completed to date and to de-
scribe, in brief, the actual construc-
ton which will result in establishing
city of note on what was formerly
desert in every sense of the word.
The new Garfield city is about two
miles east of the famous old Garfield
Beach bathing resort. The smelter
station Is just sixteen miles from Salt
Lake and from it's location on the hill
side commands magnificent view OF
the entire lake, the blue surface of
which is broken here and there by
the mountains rising abruptly out of
the water, while to the east can be
seen towers, spires and tree-bordered
streets of Salt Lake City and the
green of beautiful Davis county, lying
between Salt Lake and Ogden. 1t is
view of exceptional grandeur and
diversity, while to the rear of it's site
Garfield City will be shut in by a
background formed by two immense
hills, divided by narrow canyon
Heretofore the place has been a pla-
teau of sagebrush and its solitude was
only broken by the cry of the passing
seagulls or an echo of waltz or two
step floating up from the pavilion in
the days when Garfield was a popular
bathing resort and the mecca for Salt
Lake society during the heated term
And it would not be surprising to
hear of another resort being estab-
lished there for the American work
ingman loves amusement, and the big
smelter will employ 1900 men. With
the broad lake less than a quarter o.
mile from their doorsteps, it stands
to reason that Garfield will once more
ring with the laughter of children or
resound with music at dusk.
The builders of the great smelter
secured the entire lake front for q
distance of several miles in either di.
rection from the site of the COMING
industrial city, thus giving them not
alone control over the townsite prop
er, but its surroundings as well. 1t is
intended that the town shall be built
upon lines conforming somewhat with
those laid out for the town of New
house, in central Utah, which has al
ready gained a reputation as Ameri
cas- model mining camp. The splen-
did location selected for Garfield City
and its superb scenic surroundings
form a foundation for the building up
here upon the desert slopes of Ameri-
cas- Dead Sea, an industrial communi.
ty which may easily gain worldwide
reputation as ideal in its home posi-
bilities and surroundings.
The presence of immense springs Of
purest water give to Garfield City an
assurance of an inexhaustible supply
of that great necessity. Thus, with it's
picturesque surroundings and the pos
sibilities of constructing, within but
few rods of it's center, most at
tractive summer resort, where will be
offered the most novel bathing in
the world, will stamp it as unique
among industrial cities.
Nor will the development stop with
the completion of the big Americas
plant. Just mile east of it's site the
Utah Copper company will construct
its immense concentrating mill and
its concentrates will then be moved
over to the American plant to be
smelted While nothing official has
been announced, it is probable that
the Boston Consolidated will also
erect a concentrating mill in the same
locality The Cactus mill ic IOcatad
