Bishop Benjamin H. Bullock's Vision of a Hidden Nephite Mine (c. 1915–1920)

Benjamin H. Bullock ('Ben Bullock'), who served as a bishop in Provo, Utah, reported a vision in which he was shown an ancient Nephite mine located in the mountains south of Spanish Fork, near Salem and Santiquin, Utah. In a dream-vision dating to about 1915 (with a formal account witnessed and signed at Spanish Fork on 11 October 1920, often called the 'plowfield vision'), Bullock stated that he was divinely directed to file the outstanding mining claims and reclaim the mine, and was warned of severe tests ahead from local leaders and others. The account became part of the broader Latter-day Saint 'Dream Mine' (Relief Mine) folk tradition associated with John H. Koyle and has been examined in academic studies of twentieth-century Utah religious identity. It is recorded here as a documented Latter-day Saint visionary experience within that folk tradition.
