Photo of the iconic 129-foot Mayer stack, built in 1917 and still standing as of today (2021).
In 1917 the Great Western Smelters Corporation contracted with Weber Chimney Company to build a reinforced concrete chimney stack to increase the Mayer smelter’s capacity to process 500 tons of ore daily. However, due to a continuing lack of ore supply, the Mayer smelter, which had closed for 8 months from mid-1917 to early 1918, never reopened. The stack was the only part built as part of the existing smelter’s expansion plans. By 1922, except for the stack, all remnants of the smelter were demolished.
