The delivery is beginning to drop of,
but they are now coming in at the
rate OF from eight to ten tons per

tanks, twelve feet in diameter and
about ten feet high, have been filed

Will Burn Lime Monday


w. S. Evans completed his lime
kiln this week and commenced load
ing II yesterday with coal and lime
stone. The kiln Is located at the Jor-
dan Narrows station on the Orem
road. and the rock from which the
lime will be burned will come from a
big deposit of water formation few
hundred yards above. The kiln is
thirty feet high by ten feet in diam
eter and has walls four feet thick.
The men have been a month IN build
ing IT, part OF the time nine men hav-
Ing been employed under the direc-
ton OF Bishop Andrew Field II will
have a capacity OF $50 bushels Of lime
per day, which will be about the
amount supplied to the lehi sugar
factory and It's cutting stations dur
ing the cutting season. Thrce men
will be employed at the kiln under the
superintendency Of G. T. Thomas of
Pleasant Grove.
The rock is said to be the best in
the state for lime purposes, burning
to greater purity and with less fuel.
The location of the plant will enable
the owners to supply great part of
the Salt Lake and Utah county mar
kets.
