that these various projects will give employment employ-ment to 5000 men Among these acquisitions the great pavilion at Saltair is first to mentioned for the reason it will afford employment to a hundred and fifty carpenters before spring opens The lumber is already arriving ar-riving on the ground and as the carpenter carpen-ter contract alone amounts to 70000 the immensity ot the undertaking is far beyond be-yond anything of the kind ever attempted in this western country The iron truss roof which is even larger than that of the tabernacle will be a wonder in itself and will require fifty men several months to put it in position THE COALVILLE EOAD The project which will give the most employment to unskilled labor will be the building of the road to Coalville The force which will he required to complete this road by the 1st of December will be from 1500 to 2500 and as this city will be the base of supplies it means the putting put-ting into circulation of nearly a million dollars THE PACKING HOUSE The large packing house which the Utah Slaughtering company is to erect at the stock yards it is estimated will cost 100000 and the solid character of J H White and his associates is a guaranty that the workmen employed on their buildings will be sure of their pay This improvement alone will give work for 100 hands during a large portion of the summer sum-mer OTHER ENTERPRISES Among the enterprises of a prospective nature the copper reduction ana refining plant is the most important W E Hubbard president of the chamber of commerce only yesterday spoke of the chances of the city securing this valuable smelter as very bright and as Mr Hub bard is working hand in hand with Mr Benson president of the Business Mens association there is every probability tht the scheme will be successfully anded and that Salt Lake city will be < jrne a great copper market rivaling Bridgeport Conn The copper works which are to have the necessary machinery 10 1 turn out copper wire and plates will give employment to over 200 hands half of which will be skilled labor The tile works which Mr Benson is organizing or-ganizing to manufacture sewer pipe will represent a investment of of 125000 and will furnish regular work to from twenty five to fifty hands part of which will be high priced labor The DeepJCreek railroad has not been abandoned but has two good chances to be made a go The company recently organized or-ganized including such men as M H Walker and W S McCornick are benton bent-on enlisting the necessary capital for its construction and Colonel Murray is at present conducting negotiations in the east which may prove successful If not MrJ3amberger may put it through THE NORTHWESTERN ROAD may conclude to build into the city and should it do so there will be a veritable railway boom centered in this valley early next spring The coal road alone will cause more activity than has been known in railroad circles in this vicinity for many a year PUBLIC WORKS Street paving will also come to the aid of unemployed labor and as soon as the frost is out of the ground the Culmer Jennings company will require at least 200 shovelers besides half a hundred teams and a small army of stone setters together with hands to lay the asphalt and concrete SThe city and county building is not more than half completed and as many carpenters and masons will be necessary during the coming year as were employed last year and the plasterers can look forward for-ward to a fat year The building outlook IS shaping itself for active operations and a 30000 sale made by W E Hubbard of fifteen acres of ground adjoining the old Waterloo addition on the south was to EASpauld ing of Dubuque Ia who will improve the same by erecting a large number of handsome dwelling housesnone of which will cost less than 2000 A REVIVAL OF TRADE The merchants who have been suffering from a dearth of buyers will enjoy a good trade in the spring for the many thousand thou-sand laborers will need groceries meats and clothing and their wives and children will be liberal patrons of the dry goods stores But there will be a more remunerative class of shop people that will spend hundreds hun-dreds of thousands of dollars in this city next year The stream of pilgrims to the I Columbian exposition will exceed anything any-thing ever known in Zion and the hotels will be crowded from the 1st of May all summer and on until the holidays There is no way of estimating the number num-ber of Worlds fair people that will stopover stop-over a few days in Salt Lake during the summer but it is here predicted that the hotels will be drawing on their entire supply of cots and that after the 1st day of May they cannot sleep all strangers that will apply at their counters for accommodation ac-commodation |
