On August 1, 1935, the building of the plant waa actually begun and the following April It waa completed. Adjacent to Iho plant alts art several ore bodies. One of theae, tho Black Hawk, was selected for tho Bret development. Aa open pit was alarted 700 feet from tho receiving hopper of tho primary crusher. The ore la broken by churn drilling and blasting drill holes. . The open pit face le SO feet high by 160 feet long. Tho ore is loaded by a electric hovel Into two trucks, each with a rapacity of 28 long tone, and hauled lo tho hopper. A pan feeder conveys the ore from the receiving Jaw crushhopper to a CO x er. A belt conveyor carries it to a scalping acreen which by passes the finished product. The oversixe goes through either a reduction or a cone crusher. The product of this operation, which la all of also or leas. Is conveyed by a belt to a double-dec- k finishing screen which produces three sixes at follows: First grade, under Infh; second grade, 516 to 1 inch; third grade, 1 inch to 8 Inches. The ore le loaded Into railroad ears and shipped 239 miles to the blast furnace at Provo. Slues the Cdlirmbla Steel Corporation opened the mines at Iron 8prtog In 1923, operations la the district have been continuous. The development of the Iron Industry in Utah eras tho greatest Incentive to the building of tho Cedar CUy branch of tho Ualan Pacific railroad. Tho Iron mines have been the Inrgeat source of revenue for the road and also tbs largest consumers of power In the southern part of the state. 'Their payrolls have always been substantial. From them havo been derived moat of the 190.009 of Uxos paid annually by tho railroad to Iron county. Payments by the railway, mines and power company to tho county aro well over 1100,000. Although It has not boon feaelblo to smelt tho oro In Iron county, it la done within the state, so that the real mines, stone quarries and transportation companies contribute to the .employment of labor and the tax rovenuo of tho elate, the rounllee and tho municipalities. Farmers and local merchants are secondary beneficiaries of the wealth produced by the Iron Indue-tr- one metal whOMi mining In was not only tolerated heartily encouraged by the authorltlei of the Mormon church In the early days was Iron. The alternative wae a long and coetly wagon haul from the eaet. Welcome, therefore, wae the discovery that Iron ore existed In ahundance near the colony of Cedar In Iron county. la 1851 half the men at Cedar were eet apart to develop an Iron Induatry. During 1852 a blast furnace waa erected, coal wae coked and, on 8ptembar SO, a atream of liquid Iron was drawn from the furnace. In November a company the Deseret Iron Company, took ovar the plant from the colony. Money was raised In Europe and. for seven years, the company continued to openffa. Upon tha building of a railroad to Utah In tho 60s the coat of Iron products waa cut and the home Industry became Inactive. Aa effort to revive It on a cooperative basis waa made by Ebenrzer Hanks and the Great Western Iron Co. In 1861 at Old Iron Town. Tho company waa absorbed la 1888 by the Iron Manufacturing Co. of Utah. A local market for Iron casting! Is eald to havo been developed, but tho projected railroad on which tho company relied did not materlallie. The appropriation of Iron land bagaa In 1877 with tha survey of a loda claim callad tha "Blowout'. Locating claims wae the outstanding feature of tha iron business for several decadea. - Those most active in acquiring claims were Matthew Cullen, 8. B. Milner and tha Colorado Fuel A Iron Co. The ground once patented, a search for rapltal to develop and exploit It was In order. Tho clock of time pointed to 1928 beforo a successor to tho Old Iron. Town enterprise appeared. In that year tha Columbia Btsel Corporation want actively to work at Iron 8prings, using a tunnel and glory hole system. The following year shipments of ere to a blast furnace at Irooton were commenced. Nineteen-thirt- y waa en eventful period for the Utah Iron Induatry.
