At the time here written of, several deposits of Iron had been opened. Since then a number of other Iron mines have been discovered, so that there Is no question of a lack of supply of the raw material. Analyses made from different properties have shown that the ores are remarkably tree from desulleterious substances, especially limeAs the for phur and phosphorous. stone for fluxing purposes, the mountains in the immediate vicinity of Ogden are full of it During the twenty years that have expired many changes have taken place. Utah has become a state; Salt Lake a large and still destined to be a larger city; Ogden has grown to be a terminus for several lines railroad, with others yet to come within the next two or three years and the population has of this region more than doubled. Those who were familiar with the situation as it existed when this trial test was made and who know the situation now say that while it is quite true that conditions are not such as to warrant any such large plants as exist in Pennsylvania or Alabama, nevertheless there is a splendid opening for an iron furnace provided the necessary adjuncts, in the way of manufactories are brought in, which would absorb the product here on the ground and turn it into merchantable articles. The matter is certainly worthy of close investigation, which it Is hoped will be itlade, and that the result will be another Iron furnace and several factories for Ogden. of Iron Ago. Now that there Is some talk of erecting an iron smelting furnace in to Ogden, It may be news to inuny state that more than twenty yeurs ago an Iron fumHce was built here and thoroughly tested und that It proved a complete success. To many who lived here at the time it has almost become a reminiscence and therefore a short sketch of the enterprise may not prove uninteresting, and is herewith given: What was called the Ogden Iron Works furnace was built during the summer of 1882 and a "trial" blast of the same was made in the month of September of that year. The furnace had been first practically built several years before by another company which failed before its completion. The test referred to was made under difficulties that do not now stand in the way. In the way of fuel, charcoal manufactured at Hilliard seventy-fiv- e miles distant from Ogden, and Pleasant Valley coke manufactured on the line of the Denver & Rio Orande railway 130 miles away had to be brought here. Most of all, electricity had not yet been developed for motive purposes. A sufficient quantity of ore from three different mines in this district was obtained and also a supply of . inter-mounta- in limestone for fluxing. The experimental blast was made under the supervision of Albert Broden, Esq., who had THE BALAKLALA GROUP been brought on here from an eastern furnace for that purpose and Mr. L Willard F.

The property purchased la one of the oldest mines in Esmeralda county. It consists of sixteen claims and a fine mill with water sufficient for milling purposes. The owners of these claims were W. J.

The amount of money involved in the transaction is not officially stated, but it is understood that the deal is one of the largest that has recently been made in mining properties in this part of the state.
