Show SALT FLAT NEWS, OCTOBER, 1971 7 Year Old Dream Seventy-Fiv- e WfMluuxi (Continued from page 2) of 1929 to the day. The end of World War II he set at August, 1945. Koyles most apocalyptic vision, however, was of a four-yea- r famine and the collapse of the U. S. monetary system. The collapse is to follow a severe drought and riotous inflation; and when the dollar becomes worthless the time will be ripe to tap the vast underground riches beneath Knob Hill, which will prove to be the richest gold mine ever found. It is then that the Relief Mine will provide legal tender for the faithful and the wherewithal to build a great White City at the foot of the mountain. The survivors will resume the now outlawed practice of plural marriage, and citizens will live by a coopeartive form of government, the United Order, also in Mormondom. Koyles conversations with angels and lost Nephites never served to win him the favor of the Mormon presidency, although two apostles, J. Golden Kimball and Matthais F. Cowley were among his financial contributors. Incorporated in 1909 as The Koyle Mining Company, the stock originally sold for 1.50 a share, and during the brief platinum excitement of 1929 rose as high as ten dollars a share. But in the long run the valuable metal, as well as other trace values found of cobalt, nickel, tin, titanium, oxmium, chromium, vanadium, uranium, barium, zinc, bismuth, manganese, aluminum, and others proved elusive and unprofitable to refine. The first and nearly only money received from dream mine ore was in 1937, when twelve pounds of selenium and thirty-tw- o pounds of iron hydroxide were sold to the Harrison Company of Chicago for $113.03. Three years after the founders death in 1949 a Texan named A1 Sinclair, whom many stockholders thought to be a Nephite or Nephite agent, visited the mine and found some ore near the portal of the upper workings that he believed would be good for manufacturing a battery solution he had developed. He persuaded the directors to let him have five pounds of it for testing, for which Whatever happens on The Salt Flats? I mean does anything ever happen? Is it all that isolated?

Then in August, 1952, he requested a half ton of this black gouge, which was then mined and shipped to him, and in return the company received a hundred dollar check. Except for $238.03, the Dream Mine has returned no more than back aches and three fatalities for seventy-fiv- e years of hard work and many thousands of dollars invested. And yet the mine exists; stock remains at a constant 1.00 per share and is even purchased by an occasional inspired investor. But for the most part those who still hold stock in Koyles dream are the faithful who knew him and who grew up in families that held to the Bishops vision with a quiet faith that is itself a religion. Many, like Koyle, have been excommunicated from the Mormon church or have drifted to an even more fundamental plane. If Bishop Koyles memory is to be vindicated, it will be soon, according to longtime stockholder and dream mine chronicler Norman Pierce, who believes according to Koyles Republican Elephant Dream ... ... n .... that the Republic is in the throes of collapse.
