as "Mount Henry" with an elevation of 9,000 feet. At the intersection of South Creek and Coal Creek was a cabin listed as "Lunt's Rock Cabui." The Walker's Mine was i Maple Canyon and the Lunt Mine n was east of the Lunt Cabin about one mile." It was recorded in the City minutes that plans for the Cedar City Iron Works were discussed. George Q. Cannon and Thomas Taylor mote a letter to the City Council asking for ten acres of land to be appropnated for the erection of the necessary furnace and buildings for the Iron Works.14 They set aside several lots on the east side of Coal Creek for this purpose. However, the Iron Works did not matenak because of lack of capital and other more pressing matters, and the land reverted back to Cedar City. The year of 1879 had been a year of great drought in nearly al1 the settlements in Utah; consequently, many settlers sustained loss of stock as well as grain and other agricultural crops. It was proposed that there should be a donation of one-thousand head of cows and five-thousand head of sheep, to be distnbuted among the d e s e ~ n g poor. The Church was to give three-thousand cows and twothousand sheep and the balance was to be supplied by the respective Stakes of Zion, according to their means and population. The distribution was to be made under the local authonties of the respective wards and stakes. Of this number, Parowan Stake was to furnish eight cows and fXty sheep. It was stipulated by President Taylor that the cows were to be young and "good milk cows," and the sheep were to be "healthy sheep." The drought also resulted in a scarcity of seed wheat The Female Relief Societies of the church had been stonng grain for some years for atime of emergency. It was proposed that they release the 34,761 bushels of wheat they had on hand in various parts of the Temtory, and loan the wheat to the brethren who needed wheat seed for planting. The bishops i the respective distncts were given the n responsibiity of distributing the grain and replacing it before the next harvest. During the meeting, someone fiom the congregation asked, "1s it to be loaned without interest?" "Why of course it is," answered President Taylor, "We don't want any nonsense of that kind, it is the time of J~bilee!"'~
