Physical Description	230 frames.
Biographical Note	The Rio Virgen Manufacturing Co. was formed in Washington County, Utah, in 1871.
Notes	Microfilm of a letterbook of the Rio Virgin Manufacturing Co., kept by superintendent D.H. Morris from 1898-1910 (the majority of the letters date from 1898-1902). Most of the letters relate to business operations including receipts to customers and orders for supplies from a storehouse in Philadelphia. Some of the letters were written by Secretary James G. Bleak. One letter was sent by Morris in his capacity as county attorney to the U.S. Attorney at Salt Lake City. It describes an incident involving local Indians who became intoxicated, smashed the windows of the Indian School House, and got into a fight which resulted in a stabbing. Morris writes that since the Indians are "recognized by the Government" he felt the "U.S. Official should see that our citizens are protected from their lawlessness" (December 26, 1898).
