wondering how many on here are familiar with John Koyle?

Curious as to how many on here have studied Bishop Koyle and the relief mine? Any thoughts?

Never heard of the guy or the mine.

Ya I have heard of him. Maybe there is really is Gold in that mountain by Spanish Fork. I think it is possible the 3 nephites did go to him. I can't remember, didn't Joseph F. Smith at first believe him, then he did not? anyway, all that Gold could really help the church someday if it is real

Yes, we could pave the roads with the stuff. The environmentalists will soon have asphalt outlawed because the oil seeps into the... ground

Can someone briefly explain who this bishop is and his story? Thanks.

I would google Bishop John Koyle and read about him. It is a pretty neat story anyhow.

I've heard of him and even tried to drive up to his mine (which you can't). I think I got past the railroad tracks (or mayby it was the canal-it has been a long time and I don't remember. You can see it as you drive up the road to Spanish Fork Mine.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is gold in that mountain. The Spanish thought so (at least silver). On an old topo map in the BYU archive, I saw one or two old spanish mines depicted on top of that mountain. There were also other spanish mines around Spanish Fork Canyon. I've read other interesting stories about the area.
