His obituary reports that he remained in that city only briefly, then headed for Utah. If Hunter’s reasons for emigration to this country are not fully known, neither are his early travels after arriving in Boston in 1851. While Archibald Murchie Hunter was not a member of that church it seems likely that his arrival in this country at age eight and his eventual arrival in Utah must have been at least partly a result of Mormon influence (although a religious motive for emigration is not required, for Scotland was poor and the Hunter family was large). Some ten thousand Mormon converts from Scotland emigrated to the United States by 1900. This is from a write-up about old Archibald: there is an “Archibald Hunter” collection of historical documents maintained by the State of Utah. The abbreviation for antimony, Sb, is taken from stibnite. It is the most important source for antimony. Stibnite, sometimes called antimonite, is a sulfide mineral with the formula Sb 2 S 3. 1n 1921 the town of Coyote was renamed Antimony after the metal mined in the area.Īntimony comes from the mineral Stibnite: In 1880 antimony (stibnite), a metal used in the making of alloys, was discovered in nearby Coyote Canyon, so Coyote became a mining town as well as a ranching community. The meadowlands were used as early as 1873 for grazing and several families moved here in 1878. This incident led to the town founded at the site to be named Coyote. While near the present site of Antimony they caught and earmarked several coyote pups. In early 1873 about twenty-two men, arrived in what would become Antimony while on a peace-keeping mission with the Fish Lake Indians. Here’s a broader view, which shows that the Sevier River near Antimony is a similar “green swath” as for my last landing, Eden AZ, along the Gila R. Īnd my GE shot, showing a pretty-much featureless desert scape. By the way, the E Fk of the Sevier is my 27th internally-drained river. I have landed near it’s end point (see my Black Rock UT post) and discussed the Sevier watershed in my Holden UT post. ![]() I landed in the Antimony Ck watershed, on to a new river (my 1044 th river, incidentally), the E Fk of the Sevier on to the Sevier (8 th hit). Here’s my landing map, showing my proximity to Antimony: To find out more about A Landing A Day (like who “Dan” is and what the various numbers and abbreviations mean), please see “About Landing,” (and “Abbreviations” and “Cryptic Numbers”) above.ĭan – For the 5 th time in the last 29 landings, I’ve landed in that solid WB OSer. I do some internet research to hopefully find something of interest about my landing location. I call this “landing.” I keep track of the watersheds I land in, as well as the town I land near. Students from families with incomes at or below 130% of the federal poverty level are eligible for free meals.įor 2014, a family of two needs to make an annual income below $20,449 to be eligible for free meals or below $29,100 for reduced price meals.Ī family of four needs to make an annual income below $31,005 for free meals or $44,122 for reduced price meals.First timer? In this (hopefully) once-a-day blog, I have my computer select a random latitude and longitude that puts me somewhere in the continental United States (the lower 48). Schools may not charge more than 40¢ for reduced-price lunches, nor more than 30¢ for reduced-price breakfasts. Families with incomes between 130%Īnd 185% of the federal poverty level are eligible for reduced price meals. Students at a participating school may purchase a meal through the National School Lunch Program. This may indicate that the area has a higher level of poverty than the state average. The percentage of Antimony School students on free and reduced lunch assistance ( 56.3%) is higher than the state average of 38.0%. ![]() Out of 641 ranked schools in Utah, Antimony School is ranked 631st for total students on lunch assistance.
