Show authentic reports come from the east of a serious shortage of iron in the worlds markets we wish to call the attention again of capital to an undeveloped resource of utah by quoting from H T haines state commissioner of labor immigration and statistics in iron county ar are e deposits of iron I 1 ore estimated at forty billion tons says mr haines close by is coal for working the ore the only reason I 1 can see why the iron of the state has not been developed is that the iron of the united states is controlled by the united states steel corporation we put this statement forward as a suggestion to the government as well as to capital by all means let the united states have a war cabinet or committee and let it be composed of men of foresight and ability along lines other than politics the very foundations of this government rest upon the recognition of the fact that no one man can attend to all the details which appear in a crisis nor foresee all the results of an important action however let the cabinet be made up of men whose worth has been proven and who will not truckle to such specimens as stone lafollette etc it may appear early to make the suggestion but those who intend to hold their mining claims for the year 1918 under the temporary law eliminating assessment work will avoid the last minute rush and also get the matter off their minds by filing their notices now do not follow the advice never to do today what can be put off until tomorrow on the chance that someone may come along in the meantime and do it for you that sort of thing does not happen in mining however the best course for claim owners to follow is to do the work and to do it intelligently for the development of their holdings |
