The works w ro operulid fjr aome tlruv, but not profit-ally, profit-ally, and wero closed down. On tests, a first class qiillty of what Is known as domestic cement waa produced. A superintendent had been brought from thu Last, nnd lie claimed lo be au expert ex-pert lu cement manufacture, but when large quanllllis wero produced the material, whllu being all Ibato uld bu desired In permanency, set rslber too quickly In use. Its quality wucn set was not, how ever, Inferior lo tbat of any domestic cement ou tbe inattet, Tho trouble waa that tbu superintendent superintend-ent did not understand the manufacture manu-facture lulllclently lo overcome the objtcllon which came from those who manipulated the article lu pulllug It In place. 1 his feature has now been eliminated by tbe employment of a man whole tuorougbly ruinpcteiit lu a 1 branches, his ability having been aacsruilnud by actual demonstration. Theie is imw ncihlng In thu way uf success for the new msusgers, so far as production Is concerned; aui as tho Utah madu cemsDt Is equal to thu I est and superior super-ior to much that Is now brought Into this market, there Is net like y to bo auy question about lis receUiug Ibe bulk uf the patronage. Its durability surpasses that of tho Imported article, say those who ore Ihorouchly con-versint con-versint with such matters, and for thla reason alone Its use by coutraotota should be Inalalud ou. Thu Utah manufacture Includes aa yet only tbu marketable art do known as domestic cemenl. 1 zpsrlruents were carried on with a vlaar to Inducing In-ducing 1'oMland cement hsre, and these wero succeasul In tbe mauu-faclure mauu-faclure uf small Dli.

Several parlies have been making oOoita of tbls kind tbo past fsw daja with material taken out of the hill ueur the Warm Bprlugs. Uf course, thslr efforts havu not been succeaifjf, as wltbout tue procsis of manufacture which removes the moisture, cement cannot be repaiei fjr use. Hut tbe existsuce or tbe materials from which It Is made are abundant In the neighborhood ol Hall Dase City, not only for domestic, but for both L,ngllhaudllsrniaii Portland cement. The l.ngllsh article Is made from chalk, stone and river mud, which Is ground, burned and mixed to thu doslrcd condition. The Uerman 1'ortland cement, whloh Is the best known, Is of the various kinds of stona of which there Is sbundancu here. Thu present dllllculty Is In detail of manufActurc, aud will doubtless bo overcome In time.
