It was the most awhl scene I ever witnessed and certainly will never be forgotten. Attended meeting in the evening and found that Brother Cook's boy was knocked down about 100 yards from my house. Brother Smith and Brother Carruthers came to my house a few minutes after the scene and brought a sample of coal, which was of an excellent quality, that the brethren had dug out of the old mine. The weather had warmed up considerably and the men who were working at the coal mine dug deeper in search of a larger vein. Some of the settlers were working on the road up the canyon to the mine. By the middle of June they started working a large deposit of coal which had been located the preceding winter. Bishop Smith and Henry visited the mine and found there was a nine-foot vein of "pure coal" (this mine was in Right Hand Canyon).' There had been an unusual amount of snow during the winter and the water in Coal Creek was higher than the settlers had ever seen it. Most of the inhabitants had a garden planted and were making good use ofthe water. Brother Monis repaired the chimney for the Lunts and Henry finished putting up the fence around his garden plot on Friday, May 27. He also butchered one of h s two pigs because he could not afford to keep two. Moses, an Indian, made a much needed pair of moccasins for both Ellen and Henry. William Bateman anived from Salt Lake City on June 17. and Henrv rode out to see him bv the knoll north of town. They had a'long, interesting chat. ~ a t e r n k s a i d provisions were that scarce in Salt Lake Valley and the grasshoppers were destroying the wheat crops. Henry Lunt and John Steele, with their wives and a few other couples went with the Stake Presidency, consisting of Pres, Smith and his two counselors, to &it Brothers Shuts who lived about five miles south of Cedar City. They first went to the settlement of Harmony by way of Kanana Creek. The citizens of Harmony were in good health and spirits and were busy watering their crops. Those who lived there were J. D. Lee, Elisha H. Groves, Charles Dalton, Solomon
