Perhaps the most outstanding outstand-ing characteristic of Mr. Heaston Heas-ton was love of rugged nature, born at Fort Herriman, March 19, 1873, he came to Bingham Canyon with his parents, W. D. and Sarah McNew Heaston, when only six months old and spent his entire life here. As soon as he was larga enough to dip sand from the creek he engaged, with his father and brother in panning gold from Bingham creek. Through this means he earned sufficient money mo-ney to buy his first pair of boots. Mr. Heaston was a great lover of the wild life of the forest, of which he made a great f:tudy. On one occasion he brought a carload of elk from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Dry Canyon (this being the first elk brought to Utah), where he built a fence eight feet high around an eighty acre tract of land, where the elk-were elk-were impounded. The Heaston game preserve which embraces the entire Eastern and Southern slopes ofWest-mountain, stands as a monument of Ade Heaston. Mr. Heaston developed the I water of Dry Canyon which now supplies the Town of Bingham Canyon, he was also active in civic affairs, being one of those who procured the incorporation of the town of Bingham. . He helped to organize, and was the first Chief of the Volunteer Firei Department here. He was De- . i t i ri 1 e a. . I puty County Sheriff for two terms and Deputy Game Warden for four years, during this time he rendered valuable service to that Department in propagating game and fowl. Since retiring from that office Mr. Heaston established a fox farm on the location in Dry Can. yon formerly used for the elk. |
