They built a small cabin at the mouth of the canyon, where Sanford, his bride Martha Ann Lewis, and Thomas, a member of the Mormon battalion, made their home.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>Accidental discovery of mineral-bearing rock led to some prospecting with promising indications. Advised by Brigham Young that production of food for the settlers and thousands who were coming was more urgent than mining, the Binghams abadoned prospecting with the intention of development later.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span>In 1850, the Bingham family moved to Ogden and established Bingham's Fort as protection from hostile Indians and assisted in pioneering Weber County. They did not return to Bingham Canyon.<\/span>","sponsor":"","subtitle":"Bingham Canyon","accessinfo":"","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO226678930 BCX0\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hmdb.org\/m.asp?m=35228\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO226678930 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO226678930 BCX0\">http:\/\/www.hmdb.org\/m.asp?m=35228<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO226678930 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO226678930 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO100949878 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/Desert-Magazine-1949-09\/page\/n37\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO100949878 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO100949878 BCX0\">https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/Desert-Magazine-1949-09\/page\/n37\/mode\/2up<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO100949878 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO100949878 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO208547274 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6866h10\/192223\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO208547274 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO208547274 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6866h10\/192223<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO208547274 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO208547274 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO171560880 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6769fz3\/193039\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO171560880 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO171560880 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6769fz3\/193039<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO171560880 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO171560880 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO191540192 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6dn85nd\/197595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO191540192 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO191540192 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6dn85nd\/197595<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO191540192 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO191540192 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO219131710 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s65n06c1\/188475\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO219131710 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO219131710 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s65n06c1\/188475<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO219131710 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO219131710 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>"],"files":{"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/fullsize\/36c764979f76a33ba7a80046e439a691.jpg":{"id":146,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","title":"Plaque","thumbnail":"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/square_thumbnails\/36c764979f76a33ba7a80046e439a691.jpg"},"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/fullsize\/f24388e22c340d9c7ee0986f3c2b5149.jpg":{"id":147,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","title":"Marker","thumbnail":"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/square_thumbnails\/f24388e22c340d9c7ee0986f3c2b5149.jpg"}}}
