STRIKE IT RICH.

A press dispatch from Pueblo,
Co.., under date of the 18th, has,
the following to say of a recent
deal in western iron lands in
which Fred Lerch, of this city,
and f. b. Dear, of Hibbing, are
interested: -
"Contracts have just been
closed with Minnesota owners
for someunewly discovered iron
ore fields in the southern part of
Utah and Colorado. The lands
will be controlled by the Color
ado Fuel and Iron company.
They consist of eleven mining
claims in the iron country of
Southwestern Utah, 800 miles
from Pueblo. They were first
brought to the notice Of iron men
from Minnesota two years ago,
when they were government
lands. These men, one Of whom
is 4. B. Dear, railway mining
contractor Of prominence in Min
nesota, and another is Mr.Lerch.
chemist and assayist on the Me-
saba range. These ASSOCIATED
themselves with Col. Miner, a
mining man of Salt Lake. Since
then they have engaged in the
development Of some twenty-five
claims. They also took up a
large tract of coal lands and
some limestone lodges. The coal
can be successfully coked. Elev
en- ore claims and $40 acres Of
coal lands have been leased to
the Colorado company after pro-
tracted negotiations here, . The
terms of the lease of the ore
lands are a royalty of Is cents
per ton on an annual minimum
output of 10000 tons. Ii
Since about ten months ago
knowledge of the iron ore finds
in this district has been. more or
less common property in this
city. Salt Lake is now in great
excitement and.a force of pros
pectors is in the region. It was
somewhat surprised to find all
favorable locations covered by
others who had been working for
