I ducts From Los Loa Angeles Coast Investor General Steam Corporation of Salt Lake City is planning the erection at Cedar City of the first unit of what will be an extensive iron and steel industry industry In Industry in- in designed for tor that locality The first unit will consist t of or an n electric furnace with a capacity for tor the manufacture manufacture manu manu- facture of tons of steel per day In connection with this plant there will be constructed a low temperature retort for the production of sponge Iron imn n Cedar City is located only miles from Los Angeles and tidewater It Itis Itis Itis is the heart of what Is perhaps the greatest iron deposits In the world The richness of their quality Is evidenced evidenced evidenced evi evi- by typical assays showing from 50 SO to to 72 12 per cent Iron Southern Utah is remarkable for being one of ot the few tew places In n the United sta States wherein iron and coal In almost in Inexhaustible quantities are found contiguous us Cedar i Valley In which is located Coda Cedar City Is is situated between the tho coal bearing range on the KS east an and th the Iron moun moun- tam D on the west It Is a beautiful Valley alley abundantly supplied with w wai er The city cit has splendid hotel ac c acv built buU to entertain tourIsts tourists tourists tour tour- from every section of our country as well as many from foreign ports porta who desire to see the wonders wonder of Zion National Park Cedar Breaks Bryce Canyon and the Grand Orand Canyon on the Colorado Splendid roads radiate from thU this scenic center in iii every di dJ- dJ More than acres of coal lands adjacent to Cedar City have been patented and are now owned by Gen Oen- eral Steam Corporation The veins of ot coal underlying this formation range ranee in thickness from 0 S to 11 feet T They 1 are of ot a highly volatile nature specially adapted for steam pUrposes purposes in the development pf yf t electric electrio power In Included Included Included In- In in the above bove acreage is 11 the old Mormon Mine which has for tor many years year supplied the fuel for tor the people of this region But It Is the vast Iron holdings of ot this company that are amazing A rece recent t amy s-amy survey of t the Iron reserves reserves owned by hy General Steam Corporation discloses a tonnage estimated by their engineer as exceeding tons It Is contained in claims The greater part of this Iron INn ore U Is of or quality In their preparation to enter the Iron and steel Industry this company has bas sh shown remarkable foresight They hail bat purchased more than 1000 acre acres Of land with an ample BUP supply 1 q P i 1 ws water ter t e Ideally located for tor factory feic q y Jt ti II It t is located ne nur r ha nil ah- P port par on the out out- t of f fhe the he city l They Thy have ave also made adequate fl filings I for power war puri pur pure i poses ps on the wate waters and power r sited of or Coal creek and Tel I av y b yeta tn 1 granted i. i P Plans have been completed for the erection of ot a power plant at a favorable favorable favorable favor favor- J able site on Coal Creek six miles up the canyon highway from Cedar City The site alte is la immediately beneath the discharge tunnel of t the coal property above described Coal for the team steam boilers wilt will be supplied direct from Continued on Page Eight A BIG DIG l MANUFACTURING I ENTERPRISE FOR COUNTY Continued from Page One the mine to the power house houe at small cost It is conceded that the power requirements of the electric furnace will be tie provided at a cost below belo 2 mills per K H.
