Comments on the site identification

  • Uncertain if this is the exact pit referred to in this description, but if not this clay mine, then it must be another very close by: "In 1963, Interstate Brick Co. mined 36,688 tons of miscellaneous clay north of Evanston for manufacturing building brick in a plant in Utah. In 1963, International Pipe and Ceramics Corp. mined 13,500 tons of fire clay which was shipped ot Salt Lake City, utah, for processing and marketing. Geological data on both deposits are unknown." (Bull. 50.,, p. 26)
