Very little has been written or published concerning John Koyle's Dream Mine. He himself wrote nothing—not even a journal—so what has been written has come from those who knew Bishop John Koyle or were witnesses to some of his prophecies and their fulfillment. He was instructed by a heavenly messenger never to write or sign anything about this mine, certainly a different policy than for other similar endeavors.
Thus after so many years, much controversy and speculation, both pro and con, have accumulated about the man and his mine. The complete story could easily provide material for a great many books. However, the significance of that man's mission will not be properly recognized and written until that mammoth project is vindicated.
The author of this publication both knew and worked for John H. Koyle at his mine. Being closely associated with Koyle and his family and friends, I ate with him at his table, worked with him in the fields of his farm, labored under his direction at the mine, and knelt with him in prayer. I saw his greatness as an inspired instrument in the hands of God, and also saw a few of his human weaknesses. To those who really knew him, there is little doubt that he was one of those outstanding souls whom the world is rarely privileged to receive in a generation.
John Koyle's Mine, unlike most other mines, became a spiritual project from the day of its inception. In its final destiny it will also blossom into a most sacred work under the direction of Him who has placed a seal upon the treasures of the earth. That mine was never operated as other mines—the workmen were unlike other miners, and its purposes will not be the same as any other mine. Only time shall unfold the mysteries and purposes of this remarkably strange but inspired mining venture.
