On the foothills of Wasatch Mountains, east of Salem, in the US state of Utah, is a mine waiting for a miracle.

The mine was first excavated in 1894, and in the 125 years of its existence, it has produced not even the tiniest nugget of gold. Its seven thousand plus stockholders and supporters are hopeful. They believe that when the time is right, the mine will yield untold amount of gold and treasures enough to see the believers through the worst of times.
