			==== The Ironworks in 1857 ====

	In April 1857, the delivery of a new steam engine from Great Salt Lake City seemed to breathe new life for the Ironworks. Working from April to June they installed the steam engine and completed the new engine house. In the first week of July, they were ready to begin smelting. They “put on the blast” and had a modicum of success. But they continued to be plagued with problems ranging from poor quality raw materials to smelting equipment that lacked technical sophistication. When in late July the steam engine seized with sand from the dirty creek water, they speedily dug a reservoir to store a supply of clean water for the boiler. They continued making smelting runs through August. All the while crews at the ironworks manned all the necessary functions there, while other crews, mainly miners and teamsters, gathered the raw materials – iron ore, coal, limestone, and wood – necessary to sustain smelting.

			==== Clews's Role in the Ironworks in 1857 ====

	During this period of 1857, Joseph Clews was heavily involved at the ironworks. In April, he hauled the engine shaft from Great Salt Lake Valley to Cedar City. (He was credited for this in the ironworks account book in September.) In June, Clews did stone work on the new engine house for the steam engine. In July, he built up the hearth at the base of the blast furnace. Later that month, he repaired the flue and brickwork around the boiler of the steam engine. Then he spent six days as a mason adding adobe bricks to the stack of the furnace. The following week, he spent another four days on the chimney stack of the furnace. Near the end of that month, he and James Haslem spent several days as masons making a flume. In all probability, this flume conveyed water from the new reservoir to the boiler of the steam engine. He also spent a day building the reservoir.		During this period of 1857, Joseph Clews was heavily involved at the ironworks.
