This article analyzes the efforts of John Beck, a German immigrant converted to Mormonism, and his discovery of a significant silver and lead mining lode in the Tintic Mountains of the Territory of Utah that became known as the Bullion, Beck, and Champion Mining Company. After several years of operation, Beck decided, in part, to facilitate the "redemption of Zion"-by which he meant the Church's return to the land of Zion (Jackson County, Missouri)-by sharing his mine's potential fortune with key LDS Church leaders. A broader purpose was blessing the Church in general. To achieve this goal, he worked primarily with President John Taylor and his first counselor, George Q. cannon. [From the article]
