While building activity IN Salt Lake
Is reaching record marks every MONTH
Utah industries are growing apace, and
now, with the exception OF lumber ana
the finer grades OF fancy brick and
terra Gotta, ther6 is no necessity Tor
sending outside Of the state for any
building materials. On most grades Of
lumber Utah must depend on other
states for some time to come, but there
is nothing which enters into the con-
structiou Of a building, large or small,
which Utah cannot furnish IN unlimited
quantities and Of as good. or better
quality than can be obtained else
where.
Development Of the lumber industry
IN Utah Is mostly confined @ q few
small sawmils 80 outlying districts,
which supply q demand which is ale
most entirely local, but there are a
dozen or more large mills which are
engaged IN making sasheE, doors and
finished woodwork Of all descriptions,
The iron industry Of Utah is the strike
ing example OF an undeveloped re-
source Of the state, inasmuCh as nOth-
ing has been done towards utilizing the
mountains Of ore which would supply
the world for centuries, Fouudries and
shops ia Salt Lake, however, are per-
fectly equipped for iron work Of ale
most any description and from the raw
material, the frames for steel build-
ings can be fabricated and REINFORCE
ment for concrete can be made In Salt
Lake.
Beginning with the construction OF
the modern slzyscraper Utah viii fur-
nish the best quality Of cement and
stone for the foundation which can be
found in the world. The production Of

with the remodeling Of the Utah POrt-
land Cement company plant IN salt
Lake, which was recently bought by
P =. Moran, and the construction Of
the new plant near Brigham City,
which viii soon be in full operation, At
DEVILS Slide another plant Is working.
and Utah Portland cement IS known
from the Missouri river 90 the Pacific
coast as second 60 none IN the world. II
the sl1yscraper is to be constructed Of
stone, Utah can furnish the material
IN almost any quality and grade,
Mountains o. Granite
In Cottonwood and Emigration cane
yons there are vast mountains OF gram
tie and IimesOns, while the eastern ana
southern counties Of the state can sup
ply sandstone or limestone OF almost
every known quality and description.
Marble is not yet classed among the
products o. Utah ia q commercial
sense, but the gypsum and plaster
mines Of southern Utah furnish grade
Of Keen cement for artificial marble
which is not even exCelled by that im-
ported from Europe. The Utah substi-
tute for marble can be produced Tor
SIS a ton, while the European article
Of not better quality costs 500.
If brick Is TO be used iD the cOnstruga
ton, Utah can furnish anything exc
! cepting some Of the fancy ornamental
kinds such as are being used iu some
| Of the new fats and apartments. Prac-
tiCally all grades Of common bricks are
now manufactured IN Salt Lake, Davis
and Weber counties in large quantities
and in the remote parts OF the state
there ere numerous brick kilns which
make The common kinds. Utah has
| mineral deposits conveniently located
for the manufacture of practically
{ every known grade and style of fancy
l bricks. and there are veritaDls noun
l tains Of silicate deposits Of remarkable
/ purity within three miles of the busi-
ness district Of Salt Lake This branch
of the brick making industry however
! remains TO be developed although one
/ of the local brick companies is carrying
on experiments with fancy grades
/ which Will probably result fin the broad
/ ening of the industry In Utah in the
near future Most Of the common brick
