Electricity buz the strands on ones hair and makes it stand upright. Pointed fingers draw snapping sparks of electricity from the elements. On the summit of these mountains, one can stand and view about 550 lakes. They are fringed with many varieties of spruce, pines and firs, inter-sperced with the lovely quakenl aspens. These beautiful lakes are fed by hundreds of clear, sparkling streams. The meadow-land- s are dotted with beautiful colored wild flowers during the summer. Into this land of enchantment strode Caleb Rhoades, in the summer of 1855. Rhoades was sent from Salt Lake valley, by Brigham Young, that hardy frontiersman, to contact the Indians of the Uinta Mountains; to trade them food and clothing for some of their money rock, gold. Chief Walker' the Indian chieftain of those tribes living in the Uintah Basin and Uinta Mountains, had on a previous visit to Salt Lake valley shoiyed Brigham Young many samples of his money rock, which was high grade gold ore. Rhoades found the Indians and he also found the gold. He returned to Salt Lake valley after about a months absence, with several pack horses loaded down with rich gold ore, but he refused to' tell where he got the gold ore. He had, he said, promised the Indians not to tell, and besides the Indians were on permanent watch of the mountains and it would be foolish to try to get in and out with ore, unless on a friendly deal with the Indians, as the Indian uprisings against the Mormon pioneers were breaking out regularly as the months went by. According to history, Rhoades! made several more trips into those Uintah Mountains after! gold ore for the Mormons. Then somewhere along the line, a promise was broken; a trust replaced by hatred. The Indians told Rhoades to tell Brigham Young no more money rock, but Rhoades told them he would come back, and he did come back and he got more gold. When asked what had happened between Brigham Young and the Indians, Rhoades said he did not know. But did he? History says Rhoades wrote to the Government at Washington, D. C. and offered to pay the national debt, which was very large at the time, if in return they would fix it in Washington so he could file on and locate the mine. The government promptly refused, saying that it was illegal to zes through 1 Notice Of Final Sale Notice is hereby given that on the 29th day of May, 1953, at 10 oclock a.m., at the front door of the counjy court house in Duchesne County, Utah, I will offer for sale at public auction and sell to the highest bidder for cash, pursuant to the proUtah visions of Sec.

But although it was illegal, the Florence and Raven Mining Co. was organized and they headed at once for the great Uintah Basin in Utah, to find Utahs fabulous 'gold mine. After weeks of prospecting, they located some elaterite, gilsonite and other minerals they could find, but to them Utahs fabulous gold mine was still far from their reach. Their report to the government was, the Uintah Basin and the Uinta Mountains are fabulously rich in gold, silver and lead ores. We have seen hundreds of rich ore samples, mostly gold ore. But the stolid Indians will not talk to or cooperate with us. When asked a question they merely shrug their shoulders and say ugh, no savy. But for several years after the Florence and Raven Mining Co. left the high Uintas, Caleb Rhoades continued to show up! at various times with his pack saddles full of gold ore. He now called the mine his, the Rhoades Mine, and said he was just waiting for the Uintah Basin to bej opened for settlement, so he could file and locate the mine, The hardships and skirmishes he had with the Indians, in his fight to obtain the fab-- j ulous mine, only Caleb Rhoades1 could tell, and like the Indians, he wasnt talking. Did he kill off what few Indians that knew the mines location, and did they kill Caleb Rhoades to keep him from locating the mine and getting all the gold. This secret, along with the mine, is locked in the heart of those high Uinta Mountains, and like the Indians and Caleb Rhoades, those Mountain Guardians Majestic Wont tell." There have been hundreds of prospectors search and look in vain. Rhoades left his home one night with his pack horses, and headed into the Uintas. Did he reach his mine? Did he accidently get killed, or die while working in it, or did the Indians kill him? Will this secret ever be known? Some say yes, some say no, but down through the years it has been a prospectors dream, to find the Rhoades The Uintah Independent nal Company of Hayden, j j one-ma- n mine.
