Arrington and Gary B. Hansen, "'The Richest Hole on Earth, 1 A History of the Bingham Copper Mine," Monograph Series Vol. XI No. I (Logan, Utah: Utah State University Press, 1963), p. 7. ^Crump, p. 18. ^Although Scott & Welch were apparently not involved in the construction of Copperton houses after the first few years (see Scott Crump, Copperton, p. 18), it is evident, from a comparison of their drawings with the houses actually built, that their plans were used by the company until the last "full size" houses were built in 1941. Many of the later styles may not have been the actual work of Scott & Welch, but they were undoubtably inspired by the earlier Scott & Welch designs. Due to the unavailable records of Utah Copper Company and the incomplete condition of the Scott & Welch drawings, it is impossible to state conclusively at this time the full extent of Scott & Welch's involvement in the project during the later years. 5Crump, pp. 13, 28.
