Show LITTLE COTTON WOOD, j Emmivlllc. Freighting Or--1o- , ilitDcUturr. I , IteuUr CoriMIudriiC' of 111 Uctal l., f Kmmavii.lk, June 19, 1S71. j Editor Il-nibl; EMMAVILLE. I have observed in my peritrrinations through this gay couutry of Utah, that Kuima is a favorite name with both .Mormon and Gentile-?. Topping everything every-thing is the Kinma mine; and where I boarded in Salt Lake city, for about two months, everything leunnine was named Kmma, with the single exception excep-tion ot'a young lady called Abbie. But I soon found out that this particular name is not exclusively confined to the Mormons, as illustrated in the name of the big mine and of this town, the pod-faihers aud owners of both of which are decided anti-Mormon. Hence I conclude that the name is not peculiarly Mormon. THIS TOWS OK KMMAVILJ.K Is situated about a half mile north of the outlet of Little Cottonwood canon, and about a mile south of Big Cottonwood. Cotton-wood. It will be a town within twelve months, for somewhere hereabouts 'must be located the reduction works of what I have heretofore designated ;thc "Comstock of Utah." Just above Kmmavillo n-juure, in the mouth of the canon, is the town of "Granite," where j liuel & Batcnian's furnacesarc located. ' When I came down a few days ago tho furnaces were in operation, to-day they are stopped, not from a want of fuel or ore, but from a burning out of i the firo clay tamping of tho furnaces. i T his brings mo to a consideration of the furnace question, as far as attempts liave been made in Utah to reduce ( ores by smelting. FURNACES AIIE ALL ttlUUT OR WROSO just as they are built. This is a very t palpable proposition; but what I mean is, and it is and has been the condition heretofore of all smelting operations on this coast. A great number of furnace- ought to be cheaply built. What ouo furnace can reduce to a respectable per centage, another would lose in ; slag. j SHIPPING ORES. , Messrs. MaxfiVd & Tanner have the I contract of hauling the ore from the j ftmma, J'lagstafl" and Montezuma mines to Kminaville, and Henry & ' Standish have the contract for hauling j the ore from Emmaville to Slt lake City. There is shipped from the above named town, 1'rom one hundred and seventy-five to two hundred tons of ore daily, creating quite a bustle and stir in Emmaville. Probably you have ' heard very little of Emmaville, which j although yet a burg in embryo, has a j good location and is possessed of a I lino and perpetual water power for manufacturing or milling purposes. Yours, Wasatch. |
