Honerine Mine

<div>The Honerine Mine is a deep mine located just west of Stockton, UT.<br />
[[Image:honmin1.jpg|thumb|Old Photo from mine workers]]<br />
[[Image:honmin2.jpg|thumb|Old Photo from mine workers]]<br />
==History==<br />
The mine was started in the 1860's as part of the Tooele Mining District, and was later abandoned in 1928 when the mine dried up. It was used again privately in the 1960's. The walls are becoming unstable, and there are various small cave-ins. The shaft the boy fell into sits about 2 miles in. This shaft eventually connect to the infamous Bauer Tunnel, which is rumored to be 35 feet around and 7 miles long running from the old ghost town of Bauer, UT southeastwards under the Oquirrh Mountains.<br />
<br />
==Boy's Death==<br />
The Honerine Mine has recently become a hot topic with mine closure groups. In 1996, Jeremiah Etherington of Magna, UT, 18, fell to his death while playing on the edge of a 1,300' shaft. Using a rope tied around his waist, Jeremiah and his friends repelled down into the shaft, using very improper equipment. When he reached a wooded cross bar around 50 feet in, he stopped to readjust his rope, when the cross member gave way. He fell around 650 feet down where he wedged between a fallen board. Search & Rescuer worker Curtis Allen rappelled down around 350 feet and could only see a tangled mess of debris around the 450-foot level. At that point, the shaft turned out of sight. Search & Rescue workers made a 7 day attempt to retrieve his body, but they called it off for safety concerns. So his uncle went down and pulled him out with the help from Corey and a few other family members.<br />

<br />
There is a secret hidden mine which is located right above the Honerine, called Galena King. The Galena King is a large mine that was filled, and can be accessed by climbing an elevator shaft within the mine. (Always use proper equipment when attempting dangerous climbs) <br />

<div>[[Image:tp1.jpg|thumb|Topaz Mineral]]<br />
Topaz Mountain is popular for it high concentration of topaz minerals. Most of the rock is white Rhyolite and contains various minerals such as Sherry Topaz, cubed Bixbyite, flakes of Hematite, Pseudo-Brookite needles, Garnets and Red Beryl. <br />
Topaz is Utah's state gem. It is a semiprecious gemstone that is very hard, with transparent crystals in a variety of colors. The topaz crystals are naturally amber colored, but become colorless after exposure to sunlight.<br />
The crystals formed within cracks and openings of the Topaz Mountain's Rhyolite, a volcanic rock which erupted around six to seven million years ago (Tertiary Period) from volcanic vents along faults in the area.<br />
<br />
BLM has set up an area specifically for rockhounding. Topaz can be spotted best during the day when the sun is out. Some prospectors use screens to filter dirt out from the topaz.<br />
<br />
Many areas are over worked and little topaz is left. Those who take time to hike off the beaten path usually succeed in greater amounts and higher qualities of topaz. Topaz is amber colored until it is exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. The more amber the topaz, the more valuable it is.<br />
[[Image:tp2.jpg|thumb|Topaz Mountain]]<br />
===Requirements===<br />
High Clearance Vehicle if traveling deep into the canyon.<br />
<br />
Extra Water - Very Dry area.<br />
<br />
Rock Hounding Gear - Hammers, chisels, prybar, dirt screens, etc.<br />
<br />
===Location===<br />
Topaz mountain is located in the Thomas Range about 40 miles west of Lynndyl, UT. A high clearance vehicle is recommend.<br />
The best way to get there is to turn right off highway 6 a few miles past Lynndyl onto the IPP power plant road. It's paved all the way until the turnoff. <br />

Fish Springs

<p>67.172.225.163: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:fs1|thumb|Fish Springs]]<br />
Fish Springs is a Wildlife Refuge, has Hot Springs, and beautiful Mountains. <br />
<br />
====Fish Springs Wildlife Refuge====<br />
Fish Springs consists of several large springs and green marshland that is ideal bird habitat for several hundred species of bird. Before entering, read the rules. There is no swimming, fishing, shooting, camping, or driving around after dark allowed. There is a self-guided tour. This area is a bird watcher's paradise. There are several facilities available including a soda machine, bathroom, and picnic area.<br />
<br />
====Hot Springs====<br />
The hot springs are easy to find. Just look for an old bus north of the Pony Express road a few miles west of Fish Springs. <br />
Watch where you step as you're walking out to them because what looks like solid ground can be deceiving. You may end up ankle deep in warm, stinky, black mud.<br />
<br />
About 100 ft. north of the bus, is the first pool. The water is scalding hot, so don't jump in unless you're planning on ending it all in a very painful way. The water is crystal clear and you cannot see the bottom. The ground is undercut by the pool so the edge is not sturdy. There are two bathtubs embedded in the ground near the pool. By blocking off the flow of water into them and leaving it sitting for several hours, you could have a hot soak, but the bottom of the tubs is covered in a 3 inch thick scum of red algae and mud.<br />
[[Image:fs1|thumb|Fish Springs]]<br />
Just past the first pool is an area that looks like it has 2 inch deep water. There is a 2X4 laying in it for people to walk on. As you walk along the board you will find that in the middle of the shallow water was another deep, bottomless pool. <br />
<br />
====Fish Springs Mountains====<br />
The Fish Springs Mountain canyons are seldom visited. It will quickly become apparent that very few people visit these mountains. You can see canyons everywhere as you drive along the eastern side, but there are no roads going into any of them. <br />
The road up Indian Creek Canyon isn't marked with a sign, but you can find it by trial and error. You definitely need a 4wd vehicle on this road due to several deep ruts, creek crossings, and large rocks. Continue until you see a fork in the road and take the right fork which will take you to the Shangri-La of all camping spots. There is a small creek with a pool for bathing, green grass, flat ground, and shade. <br />

EXCERPT FROM SOME DREAMS DIE, George A Thompson; Dream Garden Press, Salt Lake City ©1982 and 1999<br />
<br />
''"The little-remembered mining camp of Indian Springs was located south of Simpson Springs, on the Overland Stage route north of Death Canyon almost on the Tooele-Juab County line. The springs there were a camping place for the Indians of Skull Valley long before the coming of Pony Express riders or miners.

<br />
After silver was discovered in the Simpson Range in the late 1890's, a small but wild mining camp was established at Indian Springs. It had several well-built boarding houses, a store and a saloon where 40-rod whiskey was sold. The broken rock walls of one building still stand not far from the mouth of a caved mine tunnel. The ore veins were exposed at Indian Springs. They snaked their way across the mountain fronts for long distances, and were mined from the surface down wherever they turned or twisted, leaving dangerous shafts only a foot or two wide but hundreds of feet deep. Watch carefully where you walk, for they are a death trap for whoever falls in one".''<br />
<br />
There is evidence of mining activity all over the mountains. The Indian Creek Canyon road is supposed to go through to the other side of the mountain range.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
To drive to Fish Springs, take the inter mountain power plant road past Topaz Mountain. When the pavement ends, it's an additional 23 miles on a fairly good dirt road to Fish Springs. It's about 2.5 hours to reach Fish Springs Wildlife Refuge from Orem using this route.<br />

Fish Springs is a Wildlife Refuge, has Hot Springs, and beautiful Mountains. <br />
<br />
====Fish Springs Wildlife Refuge====<br />
Fish Springs consists of several large springs and green marshland that is ideal bird habitat for several hundred species of bird. Before entering, read the rules. There is no swimming, fishing, shooting, camping, or driving around after dark allowed. There is a self-guided tour. This area is a bird watcher's paradise. There are several facilities available including a soda machine, bathroom, and picnic area.<br />
<br />
====Hot Springs====<br />
The hot springs are easy to find. Just look for an old bus north of the Pony Express road a few miles west of Fish Springs. <br />
Watch where you step as you're walking out to them because what looks like solid ground can be deceiving. You may end up ankle deep in warm, stinky, black mud.<br />
<br />
About 100 ft. north of the bus, is the first pool. The water is scalding hot, so don't jump in unless you're planning on ending it all in a very painful way. The water is crystal clear and you cannot see the bottom. The ground is undercut by the pool so the edge is not sturdy. There are two bathtubs embedded in the ground near the pool. By blocking off the flow of water into them and leaving it sitting for several hours, you could have a hot soak, but the bottom of the tubs is covered in a 3 inch thick scum of red algae and mud.<br />
[[Image:fs1|thumb|Fish Springs]]<br />
Just past the first pool is an area that looks like it has 2 inch deep water. There is a 2X4 laying in it for people to walk on. As you walk along the board you will find that in the middle of the shallow water was another deep, bottomless pool. <br />
<br />
====Fish Springs Mountains====<br />
The Fish Springs Mountain canyons are seldom visited. It will quickly become apparent that very few people visit these mountains. You can see canyons everywhere as you drive along the eastern side, but there are no roads going into any of them. <br />
The road up Indian Creek Canyon isn't marked with a sign, but you can find it by trial and error. You definitely need a 4wd vehicle on this road due to several deep ruts, creek crossings, and large rocks. Continue until you see a fork in the road and take the right fork which will take you to the Shangri-La of all camping spots. There is a small creek with a pool for bathing, green grass, flat ground, and shade. <br />

EXCERPT FROM SOME DREAMS DIE, George A Thompson; Dream Garden Press, Salt Lake City ©1982 and 1999<br />
<br />
''"The little-remembered mining camp of Indian Springs was located south of Simpson Springs, on the Overland Stage route north of Death Canyon almost on the Tooele-Juab County line. The springs there were a camping place for the Indians of Skull Valley long before the coming of Pony Express riders or miners. Some early day maps show them as Good Indian Springs, a name that leaves little to the imagination!<br />

<div>The Baker Hot Springs make a nice destination if out in the deserts north of Delta. The water is very clean, and has a distinctive sulfur smell, like many similar hot springs. The water at the source is extremely hot, but slowly flows about 200 yards down to three cement pools that were constructed by the locals. <br />
<br />
[[Image:baker_source.jpg|thumb| Source of Baker Hot Springs]]<br />
These pools are big enough to comfortably hold two people in each of them. Each pool has the ability to maintain a temperature comfortable to the users. Hot water flows on one side of the pool, while cold water flows on the other. The [http://www.utahoutdooractivities.com/bakerspring.html locals maintain] the pools by draining them and scrubbing them with bleach and a brush. Trash is not taken lightly by the locals, and have been known to show up to beer parties by [http://www.soak.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Utah;action=display;num=1132157476 brandishing shotguns] and blocking the road until their messes are cleaned up.<br />
[[Image:baker_pool.jpg|thumb|The Baker Hot Springs]]<br />
<br />
The hot springs sit just east of a volcanic lava flow, and the Fumarole Butte. The water is heated by the lava, which is not far from the surface. The last eruption probably occurred around 14,000 years ago while under the glacial Bonneville Lake. <br />
