Above is a binlseyc iew of the coal camp of Kcnilworth, seven miles to tlie north of Price, reached by the Keniiworth and Helper railroad out of Helper by train or by automobile from Price It Is l)no of the model camps of the West, where each employe from superintendent to the humblest worker takes a pride in cleanliness nnd civic beauty of his town. In fact, the camp of Kcnilworth might well enter the "clean town" contests of Utah each year with every prospect of winning first or second place. The mines nt Keniiworth are operated by the Independent Coal nnd Coke company, one of the most liberal corporations in the treatment of its cmpJqyes nnd dealings with the general public of the many mining concerns operating in Utah. C. N. Strevell of Salt Lake City is the president of the company, nnd W. J. Elwood, superintend-lent superintend-lent at the mines. General offices arc maintained in Salt Lake City. George A. Murphy is the chief engineer nnd much of the hitter's time is spent nt the town of Kcnilworth. At the present time something like a hundred nnd fifty miners nnd others are on the payroll nt Keniiworth. Under a system recently adopted by General Superintendent Elwood the men arc getting in practically full time. All are contented content-ed with conditions nt this camp and arc appreciative appre-ciative qf the efforts of the company to keep them employed. There is a close bond of sympathy sym-pathy nt Keniiworth between employer nnd em- ploye with each individuars whole soul in the work. For the year 1914 the mines of Keniiworth produced nnd marketed ovor three hundred thousand tons, employing three hundred and eighty-four men on an average of one hundred nnd eighty-seven days n year each. Great enro and extra precaution Is taken against accidents with the result that during the yenr there were but two fatal accidents nnd seven non-fatal, according ac-cording to the report of State Mine Inspector Pet-tit. Pet-tit. Over eighty thousand pounds of powder was used during the yenr. At this time the production of Kcnilworth Is running around three hundred nnd fifty railroad cars of maximum tonnage n month. Considerable Consider-able of the output is going to the sugar factories nnd also to the railroads for engine use. Ah the coal trade increases the Independent Coal nnd Coke company gets its share of the business. With the coming of the fnll nnd winter trnde business will increase. This is expected to later put more miners nt work. Those at the head of the Independent Coal nnd Coke company show an interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of Carbon county nnd have contributed liberally in the past to local enterprises en-terprises notably the county fair nnd the bridgo over tho Price river nt Woodside. The best of feeling exists between the people of the county scat nnd those nt the conl camp. |
