Mining Inside the Anchor (silver) Mine in Park City, 1880s. The early settlers explored Utah's mineral potential. They quarried stone for buildings and also used clay, lime, coal, and iron. But Brigham Young discouraged mining of precious metals. He wanted to focus on agriculture and light industry instead. As a result, Utah's precious metal mining era didn’t begin until 1863. Colonel Patrick Edward Connor, founder of Camp (later Fort) Douglas, encouraged his men to prospect for gold and silver. These men, who had come to Utah to protect communication and transportation lines, staked several claims.
By the 1870s several mines were producing. Stockton, Ophir, Mercur, Park City, Frisco, Tintic, and Silver Reef all had rich mines. Mining brought new wealth to Utah—mostly among non-Mormons. The men and women connected with mining became influential in the territory's business, politics, and social life. However, Mormons remained a large majority, and during the 1800s their way of life dominated politics, economics, and social life. Brigham Young was an important figure in the territory until his death in 1877.
On October 24, 1861, the overland telegraph connecting Omaha, Nebraska, and San Francisco was completed in Salt Lake City. Brigham Young had helped with this venture, and he planned the Deseret Telegraph to connect Salt Lake City with the outlying Mormon settlements.

Peaks Song 2017-2018
Just a long hike, up Mt. Nebo
I was up high, in the sunlight
I was dreaming of hiking
I wanna leave Timpanogos behind
Not a hiker, not a follower.
Very lonely, in Lone PeaK
Have a seat in Provo, take a breather
I was hiking like the thunder
mountains, mountains,
hiking in the mountains
Kids were hiking at Cascade
While you were skiing at Spanish Fork
Who do you think you are?
Trying to get to the big stars
You say it's basic, I say it's hard core
You're always hiking up Santaquin
I was smiling from the high peaks
while you were trudging from the nosebleeds

We don't hike anymore, we don't hike anymore
We don't hike anymore, like we used to do
We don't hike Nebo
What was Timpanogos for?
Oh, we don't hike anymore, like we used to do
Lone Peak is what we found when we were looking
Yes, what you were looking for
I wish I would have known Provo wasn't for me
Cause, Cascade is all I still wonder
Why I can't hike
Just the way you did so easily
Don't wanna know
what Santaquin looks like a night
Or hold on for dear life!
The way I climbed Spanish Fork
I overhiked
Should've known your hike was a game
Now I can't get the peaks out of my brain
Oh, it's such a pain
We don't hike anymore, that was all before
We don't hike anymore, like we used to do
We don't hike Nebo
