ICE MAN SPRINGS SURPRISE
ON CEDAR CITY PUBLIC

Harry Hunter, the local ice man,
surprised everybody last week when
he began cutting and hauling blocks
of beautiful clear ice IA inches in
thickness from his pond at the mouth
of the canyon.
We had all supposed that there
would be no ice to store for next sum-
mer, unless the weather underwent a
material change, but "like bolt Of
thunder from clear sky while the
weather in town is so mild and pleas
ant that it is hard to realize that it
is winter at all, here comes load af-
ter load of fine ice from the pond,
sufficient to fill all the available plac-
es of storage. At this writing over
$50 tons have been stored, and there
are still one or two houses to be
filled
While The Record was sympathiz-
ing with the ice man in the failure of
his crop, due to the remarkably warm
and open winter, Mr.. Hunter was
snickering with the knowledge that
the ice on his pond, which is so sit
uated as to get the full benefit Of the
cool canyon breeze and is almost to-
tally shielded from the rays of the
sun in mid-winter, was already thick
enough to insure plentiful supply OF
ice for next summer. The fact that
there has been no snow this winter
is responsible, he says, for the ice be-
ing soldier and clearer than usual.
While natural ice may not be as
pure and sanitary as artificial ice
when the latter has been produced by
careful and scientific methods, W,
have never learned of any serious sick
ness being traced to the ice in use
here, and we note that the practice Of
storing natural ice is being urged by
the u. S. Food commission in the in
terests of economy, since ammonia il
a product much needed in the manu-
facture of war munitions.
The fact that good ice can be froz
en- this winter practically places tn,
possibility of an ice famine in thi
locality out of the question, unles
due to the carelessness of users il
failing to store it.

Webb Takes Control.


Through the efforts of Ernest Green
of Cedar City the Iron County Coal
company has recently been incorpor-
ated and strong financial interests,
headed by Fred w. Webb of Salt Lake
City have taken hold of the PROPOSE
ton, and development work on the
ton, and development fork on the
property will be started Immediately.
Negotiations are now under way for
an aerial tram in order economically
to tranport the coal, and active min
ing operations will be commenced as
soon as arrangements have been com
pleted for the installation of the tram,
Tremendous Tonnage.
The company has under its imme-
date ownership a large acreage of
patented coal land, situated two miles
from the head of the main street in
Cedar City. Because Of the peculiar
formation of Kolob plateau and the
abrupt rise it takes from the plains,
the property owned by the Iron Coun-
ty Coal company occupies a stragetic
location, insofar as transportation ia
cilities are concerned.
The vein of coal traversing the
property lies fiat and ranges from
six feet eight inches in thickness to
twelve feet, and estimates, made by
government biologists state that
there are 100000 tons of coal on the
property, without taking into consid-
Grafton the volume of coal that I'M
derlies the vein which outcrops at the
p side of the plateau.
Close to Market.
a The property is situated thirtytwo
miles east of the Salt Lake Route,

Discovered by Mormons.
These immense coal deposits were
first discovered by the Mormons in
the early days. They were worked in
small way for n number of years
and many decades ago an iron smelter
was erected and turned out finished
products until compelled TO close down
through lack of transportation facili-
ties.
The coal deposits, however, were
continued to be worked in small way
in order to supply domestic consump.

Government Makes Report.
In 1907 the, United State geological
survey took cognizance of these de
posts and an expedition under Rich
ardson and Pepperberg, geologist'
connected with the government, un
dertook a complete survey of the dis
trict. This report was published in 1
bulletin Of the survey, in which Mes
srs Richardson and Pepperberg esti
mated the tonnage of coal four miles
from the escarpment to be the stag
gering total of 2,267 ,S03,s $40 tons o
coal in an area of 205 miles. This re
port has since been confirmed by othe
United States biologists, as well n
the reports of various engineers VIII
have made examinations of these re
markabe fields.
