Buy my new Book (Bingham Canyon Mine) out February 24, 2026, sequel to my first book (Bingham Canyon), these books help keep Bingham History alive. This smelter was on the north end of Midvale, one old building remains, it’s now a warehouse for Builders First Source. The Bingham Consolidated smelter was the second Copper smelter in Utah, the first being the Highland Boy or Utah Consolidated smelter in Murray. Both smelters were shut down because of the smoke nuisance cases, the valley farmers against the smelters, the sulfur and arsenic emissions were destroying crops and livestock. Correction: Judge Marshall’s decree, shutting down all the valleys smelter production by January 6, 1908, I said January 6, 1906, in the video. Don Strack Group expert To add to what Tim put in his excellent video, the former smelter buildings were used in the 1913-1917 period by the Utah Consolidated Stone Co. The former smelter site had large overhead cranes and direct railroad service. Utah Consolidated Stone Co. used the granite in the construction of the following buildings: -- Utah state capitol (Salt Lake City) -- Park building at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City) -- LDS church administration building (Salt Lake City) -- D&RGW freight house (Ogden) The granite was shipped by railroad from the quarries, by way of the Salt Lake & Alta railroad, from the Little Cottonwood quarry to Midvale, where the preliminary rough work was completed; then by Union Pacific's Oregon Short Line to the finishing shops closer to the buildings sites in Salt Lake City and Ogden. After the buildings were completed in 1917, the smelter site became one of Utah's first steel mills, operated by the Utah Steel Corporation from 1917 to 1922. The steel company received iron ore that was shipped up from Cedar City, from mines owned by the same parent company, Utah Iron Ore and Steel Corporation. That same company then built the iron mill at Ironton in Utah County in 1923, and vacated the Midvale site. Mary Ann Gallegos Davis Top contributor I grew up in Murray. The slag dumps and smelter remains were a blight for way too many years. I know some Murrayites were sad when the two smokestakes were taken down. However, that site and the Midvale site desperately needed Super Fund remediation. I like Costco and IMC much better than the stacks and all the remains from the smelter. I know those businesses employed many people at one time but glad the land is used for something positive. If you ask families in Murray, they will report many family members who dealt with cancer, MS, Parkinson's, and other neurological disorders, at far larger numbers than seems normal. Our familh has two sisters who had cancer, one sister who had a disease similar to Parkinson's who passed awsy in 2021. This is just my humble opinion that I'm glad the remains of old shelters are pretty much gone in Murray and Midvale.
