The construction I i works on Miller's new building will ultimately amount to about $11,500, and th fixtures to be put in will be superb the best south of Salt Lake City. Trouble was encountered in the putting in of the concrete basement, but, now that it is in, it is a wonderful wonder-ful monument to perseverance, there being but one tiny crack in the whole area, the basement extending beneath the whole building. The store will be outfitted with the latest carrier system to be had and a restroom, nicely furnished, fur-nished, will be maintained in the front part of the store in a sort of balcony. A sanitary drinking fountain will be installed just within the frontdoor, and pavement will extend the whole length of the building without. The bank apartment will also be furnished fur-nished exquisitely in marble and the finest woods Commodious vaults for both bank and store have been built of solid concrete. Prominent men from all over the state will form the directorate of the bank, the business of which will be conducted under the j name of the Castle Valley Banking i Company.
