The Utah Southern Extension spurs renewed effort with claims at Iron Springs and Lion City now tied to Frisco interests. Litigation looms over patents and work performed, while ore shipments and a 1000 acre confluence bolster value. Investment and rail access could revive an iron boom in Southern Utah.
