Abandoned, Beaver, Beaver County, utah

I just thought this was a cool looking house and wanted to document it now before it’s gone someday.

I was on facebook and noticed the cover photo for this group was an older photo of this house, cool to see it when it was in better shape.

Established as the Post of Beaver, May 25, 1872, by 8th U.S. Infantry, Major John D. Wilkins, commanding. The military reservation, declared May 12, 1873, comprised two and two-thirds square miles. The name was changed July 1, 1874, to Fort Cameron, in honor of Colonel James Cameron who fell at Bull Run, July 21, 1861. The post was abandoned May 1, 1883, and the improvements sold to John R. Murdock and Philo T. Farnsworth. The L.D.S. Church conducted there the Beaver Branch of the Brigham Young Academy (later University) from 1898 to 1922.

Hostile Indians raided a small settlement in this vicinity October 27, 1866, centering their attack on the house where Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Lee, their two daughters, and 8 year old son, a young Miss Hall and Joseph Lillywhite were barricaded, fighting desperately. During the daylong battle, Lillywhite was seriously wounded. Lee killed three Indians, and the house was badly damaged, partly by firebrands. Miss Hall and the 8-year-old son escaped and secretly journeyed by separate trails to Beaver to give the alarm. Posses of Militiamen were organized and sent to the rescue. When they arrived the Indians had departed.

Beaver County, Minersville, utah

Minersville was settled in the spring of 1859 and had several different names such as The Farm, Lower Beaver, Cottonwoods, Grundyville, and Punkin Center. It was finally named Minersville to honor the miners who worked in the adjacent mines. There is an alternate claim that the settlement was named to honor a miner, Grant Prisbey, one of the early settlers who helped survey the townsite.

Antelope Valley, Beaver County, Benchmarks, Mormon Gap, Snake Valley, utah

Mormon Gap is the gap in the Burbank Hills to travel between Snake Valley and Antelope Valley.  We were out hunting Benchmarks and stopped to find the one named for Mormon Gap.

The views of the valleys were great but a storm was hitting so we didn’t stick around long.

Beaver County, Mining, Pine Grove, Pine Valley, utah

These are some pictures from exploring around the Revenue Mine in Pine Grove Canyon in the Wah Wah Mountains.

The Pine Grove Mining District was organized in 1873, this mine produced gold, silver and lead.   The buildings in the photos housed the miners for the Revenue Mine in this little visited canyon.

I was very impressed with the lush green valley, the springs running water all over, the old buildings and mines dotting the area.
