THE FIRST FLOURING MILL that was started in Weber County was that of Lorin Farr who built a mill at what was known as the "Old Fort," some thirty-three years ago, and continued in that locality for about twelve years, when he moved into the city limits and built what is now known as Farr's Mill, on Main Street near the Ogden River, where for nearly twenty-one years he has carried on the business of manufacturing flour and grinding and cracking wheat for the neighboring farmers and merchants. The buildings now occupied by the Messrs. Farr is a substantial stone building with frame wings and stone houses. The power is supplied by a flume nearly a mile in length running from Ogden River to the mills. There are four run of stone with a grinding capacity of some 10,000 pounds of flour per day. These buildings are situated in a most eligible location and have a reputation under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Williams, the head miller, of making a superior brand of flour. MESSRS. PEERY & MACK have appropriately named their new mills "The Phoenix Mills," they having arisen from the ashes of the old mills which were burned, last year. The new buildings are situated on nearly the same ground as were the old and when fully completed will be the largest in the Territory. They are built five stories high, the first two being of stone with walls five feet thick at the foundation and thirty inches on the second story. The third#nd fourth stories are of brick, with walls two feet and twenty-one inches thick respectively, and the fifth story is of wood covered with iron sheeting. On the east of the building is a grain elevator 36x36 feet and 40 feet deep, having a capacity of 40,000 bushels of grain, while in the building is another elevator 12x12 feet and 50 feet deep with a X~ *€- ~y Fine Line of Children's Clothing at Marks, Goldsmith <_ Co.

All the work about the building is of the most solid and substantial character and put up with a view of staying. The contractors for the machinery are the Gratiot Manufacturing Company of Chicago who take the entire charge of putting in the machinery under the supervision of their chief millwright Mr. Race, and start it and run it for thirty days under Mr. Lally, their expert miller. The power furnished is from a 44-inch Leffel double turbine, run with a sixteen foot head and fall of water. The capacity of the mills will be 300 sacks per day with room to increase to 600 sacks. The following is the list of the machinery: Seven roller mills of various kinds, three run of old stock French burrs for the reduction of middlings, two six reel bolting chests, one grinding reel, one dusting reel, two centrifugals, one six reel scalping chests, two flour packers, seven Smith purifiers; one each of bran-duster, separator, No. 2 mill separator, No. 3 Morgan smutter, No 4 Becker wheat brush, Fairbanks' 60-bushel hopper scales, and seven "Peerless" dust catchers, together with all the shafting, belting, and gearing necessary. All of these will go to make one of the finest mills of the country. There will also be two mill ponds, one covering three and the other one acre. The cost of starting will be about $50,000. In addition to the numerous mills that are already in and about the city, STEVENS &*STONE have now in the course of erection what will be one of the finest mills in the territory.
