Garfield, Utah, on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, was an industrial town in 1909 built around copper smelting. The Boston Consolidated mill and smelter there processed ore hauled from the Oquirrh Mountains and the Bingham Canyon district, about thirty miles to the southwest of Salt Lake City. Copper was the state's main mineral wealth, and the early twentieth century brought a rush of capital and workers to these mining camps. Smelter smoke, rail lines running to the lake shore, and the crews who labored around the furnaces shaped daily life for families in the valley. Salt Lake City, the state capital and commercial center, drew much of its business and banking from this mining economy.
