Elder Steel from Iron County called upon me. He gave me an
account of the Lead mines He said there should be a settlement
on the Rio Virgin say 15 miles from old Harmony. By putting a

Clara & you will get as good a road & save 6 miles oin going on the
Calafornia Road. their is plenty of cotton wood on the Rio Vergin &

would be about 12 miles from a good saw mill now running & there is
no place beyound this point whare you could make a settlement for a
great distance as it is a barren Desolate Country
