Company Houses

“The new camps established by the Company are a surprise to those familiar with the old style of mining communities. The new camps are laid out with reference to proper sanitation; the dwellings are comfortable and convenient, and in many cases are furnished with water connections and electric lights. They are usually four to six room cottages. In architecture and color they present a pleasing variety. As the town site is rarely prosaic, they form by their varied color and design a most picturesque and attractive village.”
