==== Forming the Deseret Iron Company  ====

In early 1853, steps were taking to reorganize the ironworks that included privatizing the enterprise by forming the Deseret Iron Company. Cartwright was one of many shareholders in the new company. As they refined the design of their blast furnace, Cartwright used his skills to make tuyeres and other specialized equipment for the complicated blasting process. During this time, while most men worked an average of thirty days on the furnace, iron specialists such as Cartwright, Thomas Bladen, and Jonathan Pugmire each worked more than one hundred days.
