It was expected that the people of Utah would hav e to protect themselves, even fight, if necessary. They also needed lead for hunting game. The Mormon people were looking for metals to help maintain their position in Utah. Also there was great need for paint, pottery, etc., as well as ammunition. President Brigham Young was well aware of this need, so he sent the following letter to the saints in Southern Utah: "To the Bishops and Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da-y Saints who are beyond Cedar City, Beloved Brethren: You are hereby authorized and required to use all reasonable exertion to ifurnish the bearer, Bishop Nathaniel V. Jones, such men, animals, tools, etc., as he may call upon you for, to enable him to safely, diligently and successfully accomplish the purposes of the mission upon which he is now sent, viz, to search for and examine into the location, quality and quantity of different ores and metals, as specimens of rich lead ore have already been brought to me from that region, and it is highly desirable that we be able to make our own lead, copper, etc., at the earliest possible date. Your Brother in the Gospel, Brigham Young " At this request, men were called to go throughout Southern Utah to hunt for lead. Isaac Grundy at this time was in California. President Young called these people home because of the need for lead. He knew Grundy had a knowledge of mining and smelting. Following instructions from Brigham Young, four men went into the mountains and hills prospecting for lead ore. These men were Isaac Grundy, Jesse N. Smith, Tarlton Lewis, and William Barton. They finally found an old diggings which had been worked by the Spaniards who came through this country years before. The Indians also had taken ore from there. Here rich specimens of lead, zinc, copper and gray silver ores were found. They sent specimens to President Young and saying the location was about 26 miles below the Beaver Settlement, and four miles from the Beaver River, near a good spring of water. This was Brother William Barton's statement: "We found silver ore on the Rio Virgin near Enchanted Valley, also signs of lead and gold." When President Brigham Young w as told of the finding of lead he instructed men to take their families and settle where there w as water as near to the lead as possible. Early the next spring families began to arrive from Parowan. Church history states that President Brigham Young called Isaac Grundy, Jesse N. Smith and others to take a company of men and open the mines. They were also instructed to locate a settlement nearby. Consequently, Mincrsville was first settled in the spring of 1859, the first families arriving for the purpose of settling on May 7, 859. These faithful pioneers, true to their faith in God, moved into this valley and began preparing shelters for themselves. They worked unceasingly to establish a community where they could meet homes and together and worship God according to their dictates. 1 $1,000, the maximum Hi III 1 |
