Samplers and Carpenter Shop.
The sampling mills have been COW
cred, and crushing, rolling and reduc-
ing machinery are being laid upon the
foundations. There are two sampling
mills, and each is eighty-twO feet long
and forty-six feet wide. These have
been built just below the receiving

and forty feet wide. This is used as &
storehouSe and supply room where all
small machinery and machine parts

A gang of eighty men is at work on
the Utah Copper cOmpany's concen-
trating mills at the point of the noun
tain four miles east of the smelter site.
The mill and many of the larger build
fngs will be constructed similar TO
those at Garfield with steel frames and
coverings of corrugated iron. Much of |
this material for the mill is being
shipped daily from Minneapolis. Tenn
porary houses have been built by the
men working at the mill.
Within a few weeks sixty houses viii
have been erected on the site of the
new town, Garfield. An excellent Local |
ton has been selected near Kesler, and
about one mile east of the smelters. \
wide expanse of level ground spread
ing from the edge of the lake back into
a small valley at the foot of the hills
has been chosen for the site of the
town which viii spring up in a short
time No heavy excavating nor grad
ing will be necessary. Residences, /
stores and other buildings TO the num-
Der of sixty viii be built at once, and
additional structures erected as need !
ed The town will afford accommoda- |
lions for 5000 persons when the initial
plans are carried out. 1t is expected !
that 10000 persons will reside there !
within a few years
4 depot on the Salt Lake Routes |
tracks viii be among the first struc- /
lures thrown up. The distance between |
the tOWnsite and the Snelters can be /
walked in a short time. The one trou- /
bic experienced by the men in charge
Of the work is the finding of a sufff- !
GENTLY large water supply. Holes have
been drilled for a distance of 1000 feet, I
but no fresh water has been tapped. I
A pipe line viii be run from the hills !
in the rear and supply thus secured. |
Much of the water used for drinking
and other purposes is now hauled by
train over q distance of ten miles
