dedicated on Christmas day, which day will long be remembered among us. In the morning the Indians [Pihedes], to the amount of some 300, women and children included, gathered into the Fort. We preached to them in their own language and made them a donation of an ox, with some vegetables and flour. After, they went away rejoicing. Some of them were from the south and appeared very friendly, and a good spirit seemed among them towards us. Schools are established for learning the Indian tongue and Brother Nephi Johnson is fidfilling his mission teaching the missionaries. Sunday, day and night schools are being started, that all classes may be instructed in usefd branches that we may, one and a l l, be serviceable in rolling forth the great work. [Lunt was on the Examining Committee for the schools in the County, along with W. H. Dame and J. H. Martineau]. The Iron Works have stopped for the last few weeks to enclose the Fort, but have again commenced operations. There is some snow and considerable ice in the canyon by which the coal operations are considerably retarded, but efforts are being made for a busy spring and summer that we may not be behind any settlement in the mountain for farming operations, and I assure you the Iron Works will be pushed forward with energy by its enterprising manager. We have surveyed a new field of 1000 acres west of the present one. The brethren who have lately come in have not generally taken more than 10 or 5 acres. We are especially instructed to fence it with a good picket fence that our crops may be secure. Every man feels that he should be somebody in this community, that something be required of each to advance the Kingdom of our Father.
