Years agone it seems aitnost ages, the Reaper did tire plaster Industry In Sevier County. At Sigurd there were mountains of gypsum, tire purest In the whole country. Test after test revealed a purity of from 92 to 9i per cent. The deposit was unlimited and easy of access. It could he plaerd at the millslto for next to nothing. Cheap power was needed. The millsite chosen was across the river from Sigurd, near the mouth of , King's Meadow canyon. Judge Lorenzo Nielson, H. N. Hayes, N, C. Poulst-and several others were anxious to see a project for the manufacture of plaster launched. The services of Ton Brown and a surveyor were secured. A line was run from a point on tire Sevier river a mile south of the millsite, and I' was discovered that by diverting a stream and conveying it to the mill-sitthat l.r.O horsepower could h. developed. The Installation of this part of the work was intrusted to Tom Brown. A canvass aws nrad.' and means raised to buy machinery, and in the fail of 190S a crowd of Interested boosters, one lone news paper representative, a Reaper man. and a number of ladles assembled in the newly completed mill, broke a bottle of champagne on the fly wheel of the engine, and hnim-hethe Juni. ho Blaster and Cement Company on a carreer that has been as varied industry In the west has ever gone through un.l lived.
