This old article tells of a mine that was discovered in the late 1800’s at Pelican Point (West side of Utah Lake). Could it be an old Spanish mine?

There’s a painting in the DUP museum in Salt Lake City that is called something like “Cave at Pelican Point.” It was painted some time in the 1860-1880’s (I can’t remember exactly … but it was dated) and is a painting of the artists sons sitting in front of pictographs that are now gone due to the mining blasts they did.
