V- Tooele Mining and Smelting Centennial 9 -J s. By MILES P. ROMNEY Utah Mining Association An Interesting and Informative account of the founding and settlement of Tooele is found in Bancroft's History of Utah, published in 1591. Accord. ng to Bancroft, John Rouberry. Cyrus Tolman and others left Sslt Lake in the autumn of 18t9 to explore the est of the Jordan Valley for country grazing lands. They crossed the mountain range between the Jordan and Cedar valleys (Oquirrh Range), and discovered an area on a stream called Fmigrant Canon Creek uhere grass, timber and water tsere abundant. Emigrant Canon Creek it probably the one now named Settlement Creek. AFTER CAMPING with their stock at this site, through the winter of 1849 50. they returned to Salt Lake. On reporting to Brigham Young he recommended that they form a settlement in the area of their encampment. The story goes that Brigham asked what name they would give the settlement. Tolman suggested Cedar Valley because of the large belt of cedars they found there. Brigham, however, is reported to have recommended Tule because of the abundance of reeds in the neighborhood. This name was accepted but Thomas Bullock, president Youngs secretary, wrote Tooele for the intended Tule and the misspelled name stuck. The site of the new settlement was surveyed by John W. Fox under Row berrys direction. The first house was built by Cyrus Tolman. Tolman and Rowberry. in partnership, erected a saw-minine miles north of the new settlemetn. Ezaias Edand Isaac Lee opened the first wards built the first grist-mil- l store. A meeting house, 24 feet square, was finished in March 185 TOOELES BIRTH as a community occurred In 1850, principally as an agricultural and livestock grazing center. However, mining activity soon became pnminent. The west Mountain Mining District, the first such district in the Utah Territory, was organized In December 1863. This district included the whole of the Oquirrh Mountains, west of the Jordan Valley. The miners held a meeting on June 11, 1864 and split the West Mountain District into two, the crest of the Oquirrh's being the dividing line. The east side retained the name of West Rush Valley Mountain, while the west side, was called the Mining District. into In July 1870 the Rush Valley District was divided three districts, the north end being named the Tooele;; the central portion retained the Rush Valley name, and the south end was called the Ophir. At some date prior to 1830, the Camp Floyd (Mercur) District was formed from the southern part of the Ophir District. MINING ACTTVTTY WAS carried on principally by the soldiers of the California Volunteers under General Patric Edward Conner, from Fort Douglas. Their efforts were first centered near Stockton. General Connor with others in the Piobuilt the first Utah furnace for smelting ores neer Company, at Stockton in 1864. Several other furnaces, built of adobe and sandstone, were built shortly thereafter in the same area. When the "Volunteers were mustered out of service in 1865 and 1866, a great many of them came to the Stockton area to mine. About fifty new buildings were erected on the Stockton town-sit- e laid out by General Connor. Cost of supplies was reported to be enormous for freighting costs from the Missouri Valley to Salt Lake City were twenty five cents per pound. Shovels cost five dollars each; steel, one dollar forty per pound; powder, one dollar fifty per pound; and sugar, coffee and tea cost one dollar twenty five, one dollar fifty and four dollars fifty cents per pound, respectively. Much work was done on the mines, and ore was smelted in the furnaces, although not profitably because of supply costs and the cost of getting the smelted bullion to the eastern markets. This work did prove that ore was present and that it could be successfully smelted. Near the end of 1866 all work increased, simply because operations under prevailing conditions were not profitable. The completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory Utah in May 1869, and the extention of the rails by the Utah Southern Railroad to Salt Lake in January 1870, changed the transportation cost picture and work on the mines was rejuvinated.
