FROM THE IRON REGIONS.
Editor Wilkinson Speaks of the Pos
sibilities of Cedar.

c. S. Wilkinson, editor Of the Iron
County Record, is in the city from
Cedar City, and yesterday closed up a
contract with ColOnel'Milner to publish
the patent notices about to appear for
over thirty claims included in the tract
of iron claims owned by the Miner
Dear-Lerch syndicate.
Speaking of the operations of the
syndicate in the vicinity of Iron mOuU =
tain, Mr.. Wilkinson says there are over
thirty men employed at the present
time. and the results of their work. are
simply astonishing. The great veins
Of iron ore beggars description. they
are SO immense
Mr.. Wilkinson is sanguine in the
opinion that before very many years
Iron county will rank as ono Of the
greatest mining sections of the state,
and people living in the vicinity of Ce-
dar City believe the work now being
performed by the Miiner-Dear-Lerch
syndicate is sure to result In great good
TO the community. and that before very
long other properties nearby will be
opened up on just as elaborate scale.
Every one in CEDAR Mr.. Wilkinson
says. is confident that the Rio Grande
Western is pushing That way as rap
idly as possible, and some share in the
opinion that trains will be running into
Cedar City by the first Of next year.
Leaving the iron mines out entire
ly' Mr. Wilkinson says, with a rail-
road built to Cedar it is sure to make
a lively camp from the support it would
get from the mining of other metals.
With railroad facilities at hand there
are several copper and gold properties
near the town that would become pay
ing propositions, but with the iron and
coal mines opened up there would be a
town spring up that would grow into
the proportions Of a city in a short
time -

IS PER CENT COPPER.
Value of Samples From New Grand
Gulch Strike.

SIIlhC.
Before leaving st. George to attend
the Democratic state convention, Bish-
op Andrews of that place saw some
samples Of ore taken from a new strike
that had been made a few days previ-
Gus in the main working shaft Of the
Grand Gulch mine in northern Arizona
and which is being operated under the
management of Thomas w. Jennings
of Salt Lake.
A three-foot vein was encountered at
a depth of 100 feet, and Bishop An
drews declares it is the finest copper
bearing rock he ever saw. No assays
had beeen taken, but he judged there
was no doubt Of it running as high as
Is per cent in the red metal.
Manager Jennings is expected home
from the mine in about a week, when
he will undoubtedly bring in some
shipments that will average up better
than the record breakers that have
previously arrived.
One object of Mr.. Jennings trip to
the Grand Gulch at this time is to
look over a feasible route to send fu-
ture shipments out TO Chloride, to
which point q branch of the Santa Fe
has been completed. The long haul
from the mine TO Modena. combined
with the high freight rates on the rail-
roads to Salt Lake, runs the cost of
transportation up to larger figures
than he likes to have them
Colonel II. l. Pickett, one Of the
owners OF the Savanic NINE located

John Edgerton, cashier of the United

from Utah, where he went to collect
mining statistics to be used in the
forthcoming report of Eugene B. Bra

Of the mint
Mr.. Edgerton said yesterday that the
outlook for the mining industry of
Utah was particularly good. Capital in
large amounts is seeking investment
there, and big properties are being de-
veloped.
THE mines of Utah seem TO warrant
the faith of the large capitalists who
have put their money into them" he
said Work is being pushed in all of
the better known mining districts and
the properties, taken the state over. are
looking fine. Utah's Importance as a
mining state is bound TO increase from
year to year, in my opinion, judging
from the showing made by many of the
