Show The Western Mineral News is the title of a new paper which is pub-lished pub-lished at Modena in this county, The first number, bearing date of Feb. 27th, is before us and is an interest ing publication containing a considerable consid-erable number of articles on the his tory of the mining industry in this and the adjoining states and terri-tories. terri-tories. If the subsequent numbers are up to the standard of the one be-fore be-fore us we see no reason why this second venture of our Stateline neighbor should not prosper and become be-come a paying proposition. The paper pa-per is published by the Jackson Mine company, but it does not take a great amount of penetration to discover dis-cover who is the editor. Indeed we are not aware that any attempt is made to conceal his identity. Un der the head of truthful assertions the paper states that no pains will be spared to secure reliable information informa-tion on the subject of mining and that which pertains to it. We arc glad to learn this, and hope that the statement state-ment which follows and which is taken ta-ken from its columns is up to the standard, but we have heard so much in the same line that has failed to come to pass that the News will excuse us if we say that we have our doubts: "From reliable sources it is learned that before another year rolls around Cedar City will have a railroad, thus opening up the great iron fields in that section. Two roads are now qpntemplating running run-ning a branch line to those valuable deposits and when this takes place that section of Utah will receive a substantial boom." |
