The fjiiality of cloth mad'! at the-" mills is very Mipi-riiir, and many of our citi.'ns are to-day tl rosso J in it, who-o noat. suits are siipposvd to Le made up of imported poods. These mill-i were set in operation on tho 1st of Marrli, liM. In 1 S ( 7 Messrs. Smoot, Uurton & Sharp c'ommenivd working tho Wasatch Wa-satch mills on the same frock, and some il'-tanre from the Di-si-ret mills. Tho Wnliyatf.li mills have a sot of forty eiL'ht inch car ls, throe hundred and sixty spindles, two broad and four narrow power looms, and the requisite machinery for doinir a pond bu-ine-s. Tiny u'so turn out excellent fahries, and wo heli' ve are unahle to supply the ilemavl lor their cloth. About three years asro Messrs. Kand-lll, Kand-lll, l'u. sky & Co., commenced work-ins? work-ins? the Kxcel-ior Mills, three miles 1'ioin Oyden city. Their capacity is about the same as the Wasatch, though we have not obtained the figures. The fabrics that we have seen from the l",xeelior Mills, show that Mr. Hand-nil, Hand-nil, who is nuMiin; them, is determined deter-mined to keep in the front rank of woolen manufacturers in this Territory. Resides these, Messrs. ltydalch, piowberry & Co. have commenced a woolen factory at Big Spring, in Tooele county. On the lStli of May last, Rishop A. O. Smoot laid the foundation of buildings for woolen uiiils at Provo, which will iun twenty live hundred spindles, and will be the Urjsest wiiolen imnu'aeiory in the Territory. The buildings are being rapidly piwhed ahead, and the whole of I'tali county is interested in their prorT' ss and success, as they are a o-operutive concern. Woolen mills tire Ik. inf put i-ti operation at Beaver ciry, Reaver county, south, on the cooperative co-operative principle. Mr. Joseph Birch is now east to purchase machinery machin-ery for the manufacture of wool, to l.e connected with ihe cotton factory at Washington, Washington county, which is a!.-o conducted on the co-operative plan. And the building for a oo operative woolen lactjry is beimi erected at Brigham city, B Elder county, a hundred feet long by forty wide, which is now over a story high. These mills give some idea of the progress that lias been made in the manufacture of woolen fabrics since the days of the venerated pioneers, when carding, spinning and weaving had to be done in the wagoe.s. When ail in full running, run-ning, which they win be in less than a twelvemonth, they will be able to produce pro-duce some $700 000 worth of cloth per annum; or, in other words, they will keep in the Territory nearly three-quarters three-quarters of a million of dollars a year that beforeti'.ne has beeu taken out o1 it to buy clothing for the people cf Utah. Who suoirs at our uianufacturinj iulutiies with such facts and figures before them? Who eaa decry the efforts made to build up such industries indus-tries in t;-e fie 3 of our necessities an i the d.lliju'.ues to be encountered, witli-O'.U witli-O'.U exposing their own Lnorauee ? Note what has been done, what is being lino, and reihvt what can be done, and then say if manufactures are not one of the vital sources of our I rosperity ! |
