caprice of their savage nature which, through causes unknown to us, may at any moment become excited and arrayed against us. Let us then be wise and avoid every measure that gives them any advantage over us. To those brethren who have gone from the Fort and settled south of Cedar City we say, 'return and remain with your brethren.' The settlement of Elk Horn Springs Enoch] should be maintained as a herd ground, and the brethren at that point should build a fort and be sustained by a few more families, sufficient to strengthen the place against any surprise and, those who dwell there should always be on the alert with their horses and equipments ready at any moment to go or come or defend themselves. To the brethren at Cedar City we wish to say a few words. We have formed an organization for the purpose of bringing out the iron. It is unnecessary for us to add that this is, and has been, the principal object of locating the settlements in Iron county-:you have the ore, the coal, the timber in rich abundance--you have in your midst a supply of grain and need have no fears of a scarcity of food. You will gradually be strengthened in numbers as the emigration shall arrive and everythng conspires to accomplish this most desirable object, the manufacture of iron. Brethren, shall it be done, shall the peopleeof this territory be no longer dependent upon foreign and distant countries for their mill, irons, machinery, and stoves, their pots and kettles, their plows and every other useful and necessary implement which is composed of iron, or shall we be disappointed in our expectations and still labor under the present disadvantage of precarious and expensive transportation and continual drain of our money, or do without those articles which are so necessary and which are so easily furnished by a little well-directed industry and perseverance in our midst.
