"DEPARTURES, ARRIVALS, &c. . . . One of the most important moves which have been made for the temporal prosperity of the Church in these last days, is the organization by him [John Taylor] of the 'Deseret Manufacturing Company,' of four partners, with a capital of fifty thousand pounds sterling; and having for its object the establishment of manufactories in Deseret. The first important operation of the company has been to take out the entire machinery and apparatus for making and refining three hundred tons of sugar from the beet each season. This machinery, in every respect of the best quality that could be procured, was made by Faucett, Preston, and Co., of this town, at a cost of £2,500; and such is its weight, that it will require about fifty teams and wagons to convey it from Council Bluffs to Great Salt Lake City. This machinery went out on the Rockaway, with about thirty Saints, on the same day as the steamer [Niagra], bound for New Orleans. . . ."
