CEMENT MANUFACTURE.

Pocateo possesses immense beds of rock, within
short distance of the city, that scientific analysis shows
to be highly adapted the manufacture OF cement OF
superior quality.
A large company has already been organized to do
veop certain of these deposits but both the supply and
outlet for the product practically unlimited there Is
ample room for other manufactures. This is age of
construction dams, building foundations,
sidewalks blocks for building purposes, irrigation
and power the rapidy of growth of this part
OF the country making tremendous demand for cement
Owing the isolation Of the ntermountan region from
established centers the cost of bringing it In Is
large which gives great advantage to the home product
According to the Cement Age there at the present
time shortage supply of Of fifteen million bar
res This general shortage has the effect of enhancing
prices according to the estimate of Mr. B. B. Lathbg
the eminent cement engineer the Pocaelo cement can
be produced of $110 per BARREL which, with the
advantage of cheap distributing freight rates puts it out
of competition with other manufacturers.
Pocatello enjoys another great advantage In the pro-
ducton of By using the process of manufac
ure the waste lime from sugar factories abound
this district, may be materially decreasing lts
of production. Or, if the ordinary is used
here abundance of calcium carbonate be obtained
within very short distance The principal cement clay
deposits located within to three miles of the city
Comparative analyses by competent cement engineer
with the best known places the Pocateo product
above the others in richness.
vITRIFIED BRICK CROCKERY CALCIUM CARBIDE
The manufacture of vitried brick would undoubtedly
be extraordinarily profitable business all the
materials needed for production here extensive
Large deposits of clay suitable for the manufacture
of crockery of the better grades drain lpes etc.,
within a short distance of the city.
Calcium carbide manufacture for the production of
aceteyne gas would make profitable industry, both
limestone and electricity abundant and cheap
MINING INDUSTRIES.
The development mining industries in the last three
years has suggested remarkable prospects, especially
noticeable in the Moonlight mine, the Hovey group and
The Fort Hall mines An immense amount of development
has been upon these properties and all indca
ions point profitable shipping of good grade in the
very future abundant quantities already
sight, which indicates that Pocatello likely become
of great mining of the intermountain
Try. smelter here would add immeasurably mining
development.
