Best Fire Brick In tho World.
Fire brick OF all shapes are made.

bricks of this kind which prove that
they will outwear two ordinary paving
stones. Another excellent quality is
their smoothness. When laid on the

Deer Trail
Development

IN the promising gold camp of Park
Valley. Box Elder county, is located
the holdings Of the Deer Trail Gold
Mining & Milling company. 1t is a
mile and a half east Of the gold profit
producing Century mine and consists
Of eight claims with an area of about
140 acres. The location is on the south
ern slope OF the mountain range, which
has a grade of about 80 degrees from
the horizontal. a condition favoring
tunnel work On the ground is an
abundance Of pine timber, sufficient TO
supply any call from the mine and
ample water for milling, purposes.
n weL-known mining engineer, in
reporting on this property. says:
1t covers the only exposed point Of
contact between tie quartzite and
granite In the district and over 5000
feet Of the great quartz assure which
cuts the quartzite dyke from north
east TO southwest and on which a
number OF the important mines of the
district are located. including the Cen
fury mine"
The development so far accomplished
consists chieff~ OF about 500 feet Of
tunnel work, the objective point being
the Deer Trail assure, from thirty to
one hundred feet wide, mentioned in
the report, and 10 reach which 600 feet
more OF work will be REQUIRED.
AS the development has progressed
w cross assures from four TO six feet
In width have been cut. The vein mat
ter in these assures is mineralized. be-
ing white quartz with iron stain,
characteristic OF the gold bearing ores
Of that region. Samples from these
assures have carried values In lead,
silver and gold, varying from "a TO so
per cent lead, eighteen to forty-five
ounces in silver and from 81 TO So per
ton IN gold.
About ten tons OF this ore are now
or the dump. Tests have been made
by mill men and the ore responds read
lily TO concentration processes. In one
assure the tunnel encountered the ore
cropping, and the work OF sinking
wines IN both places was stopped by
water. A deeper tunnel will drain this
territory, but for the present work for
the big assure will be pushed where
greater 5euth larger b. les and better
values viii be obtained.

Utah,s Hydro-Carbon Field

extending the company's operations
grow more imperative ii is proposed to
build two branches OF this road from
Dragon. One will run TO Fort Du-
chesne, where the company owns other
gilsonite properties, and where 1t used
TO operate, and the other to Vernal The
present length OF the road-from Mack
10 Dragons ifty-two miles.
The principal mission of the railroad,
or course, is TO give the company an
outlet for its product; but lines OF au-
tomobile stages connect the present
terminus Of the road with the country
beyond, and in this way the road has
served purposes other than getting the
gilsonite product to market
Prior TO the building OF the road the
gilsontte operations were principally at
Fort Duchesne, and the product was
taken out overland TO Price, a distance
of 100 miles. In all probability the
railroad will ultimately be absorbed by
the Rio Grande system, with which it
connects.
How the Trust Got Control.
The control of the gilsonite fields by
the asphalt trust is due to congression-
al legislation. Many years ago indi-
Vidual miners located vast number Of
claims on the reservation. but IL was
not open, and Of course they could nei-
Their work the claims nor secure pat
ents.
When the reservation was opened
congress specifically closed the asphalt
and gilsonite fields TO mineral entry
Then the trust purchased from the
miners a quit-claim TO their right of
discovery, and secured the passage Of
legislation opening to entry every al
ternate section Of the asphalt fields and
validating the discovery rights to which
they had purcha sed ouit-claims

year has been a record breaker, great
er things are expected for the new
year. Orders have been placed already
that will keep the cement plants going

used In the erection Of the new smelt-
ers at Garfield $4,000 barrels will be
used IN the. new water conduit 70 be
built II Parley's canyon.
The present capacity Of the Portland
plant is $50 barrels or seventy tons
per day. AS the present demand is far
IN excess of this supply. the capacity
OF the plant is to be doubled within a
short time This will raise the output
from the one plant mentioned TO 81, 100
tons annually. These figures show TO
wha- extent the industry is carried
on in this state.
Brick by the Billion.
The clay deposits in Utah are found
within no particular boundaries and
are OF no special variety. The supply
OF common clay used in the manufac-
ture of ordinary building brick is in
exhaustible. This clay exists In every
portion OF the state IN different guam
titles. During the year just ended there
was an approximate total Of 41,000. 0G0
common building brick manufactured.
To supply the demand for raw ma
terial created by this yearly output
quarries have been opened up and are
in constant development all over the
state. The Red Butte canyon quarries
are probably the largest Of their kind.
1t is not known generally that Utah
is forging ahead Of other western states
in the manufacture Of assay supplies
such as crucibles, muffies, fire brick,
etc. Right here in Salt Lake is made
the best quality Of these supplies. This
is proved beyond a doubt by the ship
ments sent into colorado during the
past year. The crucibles, muffles and

lures in Salt Lake built of this stone
are the Deseret News building, the Con,

A w. McCune's residence on North
Main street.
The oolite quarries are situated near
Ephraim. This rock is q beautiful
white stone, supposed to have been
formed through water action ages ago.
The presence of shells, apparently built
up by coatingS OF cement or ooze, has

Herald's new home was built with this
rock.
Why Work Is Done In Summer.
AS a rule the quarries Of Utah are
operated during the summer months
only when building is at its height
when the demand for building stone is
greatest. Climatic conditions have
much to do with this also. Many of
the quarries are inaccessible in the
winter months and the stone is liable
to crack with the frost when work is
prosecuted in the coolest weather.
It can be seen that rock taken from
the Guarries during the winter in such
a condition could not be relied upon
for any building or construction pur-
poses whatever. The quarries being 10
Gated for the greater part near rail-
road or water, thus furnished with con-
venient shipping facilities. reduces the
cost Of hauling to the lowest figures.
The tendency of the rock lie but a
small depth below the surface. or to
crop through completely, renders quar-
rying inexpensive as a good quality of
rock can thus be obtained with little
labor.
To supply the demand of the smelters
and cement companies numerous lime
stone quarries are operated the year
round. The smelters use thousands of

thus created with that of the cement

The Union Lime and Stone quarries
located in PArley's canyon furnish a
large amount OF fiuxing stone 10 the
shelters at Bingham and Murray. The
stone obtained contains sufficient sill

newed development, the company al

for the commencement of quarrying

pany. with a capacity Of 1000 tons per
month, operates its own quarries.
These are located in Parley's canyon
and near the Rio Grande railroad, F1f-
teen men are employed at. these quar-
ries throughout the year to supply the
immense tonnage Of raw material used
by the cement plant.
Extent of Cement Industry.
This leads to brief glimpse OF the
manufacture Of cement, an industry In
which Utah stands foremost of the
western states. Utah furnishes ce-
ment to Montana, Nevada Colorado,
Washington and Idaho. Thirty thou
SAND barrels Of cement made n the
Portland plant Of this city were used
during the past year in the government
dam at Minluoka. Ida; 1000 barrels
were used for sewerage building in
Boise; $4,000 barrels in the erection Of
city water supply reservoir at Poca-
tella; $4,000 barrels have been ordered
for Mack. Ida, on the Utntah railway.
In addition to these immense orders
the same company ha- furnished &C.
ment for local undertakings-S,0 900 bar
rels were consumed in the erection of
sugar factories near Logan; 10000 bar
rels were used by the building trades

operators were averse to tying up their
money in country that offered such
little promise Of getting transportation
facilities that would insure returns
upon the investments made. A few
holder spirits were willing to take the
chance and as a result d number OF
properties have been under systematic
development for several years, and
with substantial results. In the main.
however, individuals and companies
have been compelled to rely upon
whatever resources they had at hand
and keep their titles intact until they
should be able to announce that the

kets OF the world had been spanned by

That Union Depot.

The question Of union depot tor
Newberrv has been agitated so much
and so long, without result, that the
subject has become little wearlsome
even to the most earnest advocates OF
union station. But there was never
q better time to build the depot than
now and we believe if the people OF
Newberry will lunite on one proposition
and present that proposition to the
railroads in the proper manner, the
two railroads, both of which can not
but see the urgent need for union
station in Newberry, will accede to
the wishes of our people and build a
station in keeping with the progress
and advancement OF the city.
When the matter was taken up
with the railroads several months ago
President Childs, Of the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens. held that the
best place to build union station
was at the Caldwell street crossing,
near the junction OF the two roads,
and stated that if the people OF New
berrv would unite upon that site his
road would be willing to put suttl-
cient amount Of money in the build
;nq to insure a modern depot. LAX
ing everything into consideration, we
believe the site suggested by MT.
Childs is the best place for the sta
ton. Not only would the location be
convenient. but modern depotat this
point would aid very materially IN
building up this section of The city
The objection has been urged that
the Southern railway only a short
while ago went to the expense OF
erecting a modern passenger station.
The business OF the Southern rail-
way, however, must increase IN New
berry, and we believe the Southern
would be willing TO use its present
passenger station for Offices, using
the present freight depot for a ware
house.
What we need is for Our people to
get together in urging upon the rail-
roads the need for union depot IN
Newberry, first uniting upon site.
