Anyone else ever heard of this? I guess some people are "keeping the dream alive."

In 19th century Utah County, a man had a vision of a Nephite mine where he saw layers of earth and ancient treasures that would save the Church during difficult times. The structure is visible from many miles away in south Utah County. Of course, nothing was every found in "The Dream Mine." But it seems that some people are still optimistic.

Here are some links on the topic. I think it's sort of an interesting/crazy situation. I also think it says something about the environment of 19th century Mormonism, where visions were common and maybe even expected for the average member of the Church.
