Episode 30: The Dream Mine

Relief Mine

In August of 1894, Bishop John Koyle had a dream that there was an Ancient Nephite Gold Reserve full of gold, records and treasure that would help save the church in the last days. The Dream Mine, or sometimes known as the Relief Mine, is located just above Salem, UT in Utah County. In this episode we interview De Lynn “Doc” Hansen, who firmly believes in the Mine and has spent the majority of his life involved with the Dream Mine.
