Indian deperdations had been carried on in Southern Utah and metal was needed to produce bullets. - : Levi Edgar Young, western historian, in an article on early mining in Utah writes: When ' Parley P. Pratt discovered iron ore in 1850 in southern Utah, President Young received the news of the discovery and in. a letter encouraged Mr. .Pratt to . do all he could to develop the claim for the welfare of the people. When Bishop Isaac Grundy and his associates located lead and silver mines near Minerville in 1858, they built a crude recovery furnace, that metal for bullets might be When the great discoveries of gold, silver and lead were mado in the sixties, Brigham Young reiterated what he had said to his people as far back as 1849. His people had come to the tops of the mountains to work out their destiny, and the foundation of their success would lie in the reclaiming of the soil. They were compelled to do this or perish, and they therefore conquered the land. In conquering it, they learned to love It and to. lay the foundation of an imperishable state. Contrary to the belief of some, Brigham Young was never opposed to mining as ap industry. In fact he signed the bill, passed by the Territorial Legislature in 4854, .offering a prize of $1,000 for the first vein of coal that might be discovered within a radius of forty ; miles of Balt Lake City. Emphatic testimony of his 4m terest in the mining industry 'is shown in the accompanying picture. Patricia Ann Bowman, Salt Lake City miss, is pointing to a rock collection of the Mormon leader which is now in the possession of .his descendents. Just as cooperation with mining is necessary to build a strong state now, it was then. Through the efforts of tbs early Pioneers the foundation for the mineral industry of Utah was laid. The first discovery of commercial metals was in Southern Utah, when Parley P. Pratt, with a company of his brethren were exploring that Some iron ore region in 1849-5was mined and an old iron bell in the museum of Cedar City is mute witness today of how the metal was put to use.

LITERARY CLUB . - In Advance Rich County Fights Noxious Weeds Believing that fewer Weeds are easier to- eradicate than more weeds, Rich County launched out into a desperate weed fight during the past summer. Considerable difficulty was liad in getting started, but after the troubles were ironed' out, even though we got a late start, everyone got busy and it wasnt long before the weeds were being plowed under. With the cooperation of the state, the county commissioners, County Agent and the 'County Weed1 Board to lelp the farmers the expense to each farmer has .been small and everyone has been able to join who was interested. Most of the work has- been' dome by clean cultivation. By this method the ground is first plowed and if soddy Is followed by a disk until the soil is broken up so a weeder can work, then it is gome over with the weeder at intervals of about fourteen days, which cuts off bhe plant under the surface. This method carried' on for two or three years kills all weeds and leaves the land in a very good condition. The cost to the farmer is only $2.00 per acre per year, providing he does the first plowing. Small patches are treated with chemical by the Weed Supervisor. Either Atlacide or has been used. During the past summer we have used1 32 hundred pound drums of Atlacide and two fifty gal-o- n barrels- of with very good results' During the past summer we have had under county supervision 84.79 acres of land in 210 patches.
