Utah state-of-the-thoped- Old depot purchased for office Submitted by John Schmitt One more of Eureka 's landmarks is being hauled away from town the Union Pacific Depot. The building has been purchased by the Dragon Consolidated Mining Co. and will be used as combination office, warehouse and sample preparation room. Half of the building has already been hauled to the Dragon property, and the other half will be taken in the next few days. Quite a history could be written on Eureka since the first Union Pacific Dpeot was built in 1888, but most of the old timers who would remember when have passed away or moved out of the district. The first Union Pacific Depot was built in the area known as the Holden Tunnell. Years later a new building was erected closer in town just across the street from the old Tintic Mercantile Department Store, and what is now used as a service station and garage, owned and operated by the Randle Brothers. This building was in use for quite a number of years, when Eureka was really a booming mining town. To take a trip on the train to the city in those days was quite an adventure and residents made daily trips to the depot to watch the passengers alight or board the train, whevever the case might be. Many of the supplies for the three large department stores and other business houses, were brought into days of the town, and what intown via the U.P. frieght service. teresting anecdotes could be written The amount of ore shipped over this about many of our colorful and witty railroad for the various mine old timers.

Bus service was put into effect on March 13, 1932, and passengers were transported by bus to and from Tintic Junction. An agent was kept at the depot to sell the tickets and to maintain frieght service until 1948, when the depot was closed permanently, and all business was transacted at Tintic Junction. Bus service was also discontinued on Nov. 10, 1949 and townspeople had to get to Tintic Junction as best they could to board the train for points east or west. The people of the town regret seeing the depot moved out of town, but are happy that it isnt being moved out of the District, and that it will serve one of the largest producing mines in the District.

Because the artificial knee can be accurately placed, it has a range of motion closely matching a real knee as well as improved wieght and s trees distribution. The Natural Knee also has a biocompatible coating made of d titanium, cancellous-structure- which is porus enough to allow the bone to grow into the implant. The coating looks like the bone and has the potential to promote quick bone growth in addition to providing enchanced fixation when bone cement is used, noted Dr. Hofmann. Other surgeons have documented bone ingrowth as rapidly as three weeks after surgery with other implants using this porous coating. Many earlier knee systems were not securely fixed, allowing the implant to move, which resulted in scar tissue and pain.
