This was operated for several years by the Vanadium Corporation of America, and after the war, in 1946, closed up, depriving us of our major payroll. In 1949 it was rebuilt by the Atomic Energy Commission for the purpose of processing uranium ores, the atomic bomb having been perfected in the meantime. This mill employed some 250 people, aside from numerous miners, truckers, etc., until 1959, When it closed, dealing a severe blow to our economy. THE CITY OF MONTICELLO During the past few years, enormous sums of money, totaling some $600,000 have been expended by the community for the following: a water system taping the springs on the Blue Mountain, new and expanded sewage and disposal systems, while way lighting on main street, modern fire fighting equipment and new electrical distribution systems. In older to meet this obligation, the city has set up a s of 19 sales tax, which is adequately retiring this debt. The city is financially in good shape and is economically sound. MAIL SERVICE In the middle thirties, the business people of the area felt that daily mail service between Salt Lake City, Monticello and Durango was a necessity. This W'as before there were any improved (graveled) roads between Monticello and Cortez, Colo. Action was taken by the Blue Mountain Civics Club to investigate the problems and draw up a plan of action. Noel Sitton and A. Jay Redd w'ere appointed to promote the project and get the necessary information in hand. Final plans were culminated at a banquet held in the old church house, in economic history where about 200 people were entertained by mail and railroad representatives from Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake City, Grand Junction, Ogden and San Francisco. Mr. Watson, of the Watson Floral Company of Grand Junction, voluntarily furnished free flowers for the The result of this endeavor was daily mail service from Salt Lake City to Durango, Colo., and all points between. A letter could be mailed in Salt Lake City at eight oclock in the evening and reach Durango the next day at ten oclock in the morning. EDUCATION Education was one of the first concerns of Monticellos early settlers. During that first winter 1888 brother William Adams held night school at the home of C. E. Walton twice a week. He taught spelling, geography, and arithmetic to all who could attend. Sarah Jane Rogerson taught the first day school in her own home that same winter. She had taught previously at Mancos, Colo. The text books used consisted of those which Sarah Jane had brought with her from Mancos, and any which the local families had brought with them. Taper was very scarce, so the children w'alked about a mile southeast of town to the hillside sloping into South Creek and dug up smooth layers of slate, on which they could write with chalky w'hite stone. Slate was plentiful, so a supply wras laid in for the winter. Each child prized his own slate, for he, himself, had dug it out of the hillside. Many times, throughout the long, cold winter, the school days w'ere brightened for the children by the serving of Rogerson Cakes. Sarah Jane had her own family to provide for, so some of her daily chores had to be fitted into the school schedule. She always mixed light bread at night, setting the batch by the stove to raise. During the morning session of school, w'hen the bread had raised sufficiently to be molded into loaves, Sarah Jane used some of the dough to pat into flat slabs, which she fried on the top of the hot stove, and served to the children witn home-mad- e butter and molasses. These delicious, tasty dainties became known as Rogerson for six years, part' of which time she was also Superintendent of Schools. She remembers that at this time the school was truly the center of community life. Every holiday was celebrated with a program at the school. Arbor Day was always commemorated by the planting of trees. Many of the beautiful shade trees now existing in Monticello were planted during those Arbor Day servicts.

The school enrollment had increased to 25 pupils. From this humble beginning, the school grew and developed with the community, reflecting each period of prosperity or depression. In 1897 a new school house was erected on the southeast comer of the intersection of what is now Center Street and First West. It was a building containing two rooms (with sliding doors between) and a coat closet and belfry at the front. The first Christmas program w'as held there in December, 1897. In 1903 the first four grades in this school were taught by Nora Butt, a local girl who had been away to school. Tne upper grades were taught by Sylvester Dailey, a gentleman from Iron County. The names of the students in Noras room that year were: Vera and Bernice Hyde; Hazel Adams; Blanche, Jennie, Della and John Christensen; Ella and Clara Jones; Victor, Elmer, Jack, Eva, Lottie, Glen and Milr, lie Bailey (two families); Claude and Harold Grow; Amy Burr; Willis and Clifford Small; Agnes Bradford, Powell Hott and Edna Bankhead; Able, Moses and Ophelia Gonzalez and Shone Martinez.
