Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us togethe: that has ever been in Morgan County. Mr. Farrell married a daughter of Billa Dickson. Then next was the Standish Mill. It was located on the west fork of Farrell Canyon. The work here was mostly sawing ties. About six hundred feet down the canyon, there was another saw mill named Holdman's. It was run by water power and sawed a great many shingles as well as ties for the railroad. Then came Billa Dickson's mill, which furnished shingles and lumber of all kinds. It was situated about two hundred yards down the canyon from Farrell's Canyon. His mill was powered by water. Below him was a saw mill that belonged to Sam Brough who also sawed shingles and ties. Further down the canyon was the Joseph Taylor saw mill. Jake Arthur had a water-powered mill at the mouth of Authur's Canyon. The last mill in Hardscrabble was owned by Bert and George Turner. After two years they sold it to Joe Carpenter. He moved it to what is called the Black Grove. It was later taken out of the canyon and moved it to the lower valley. The water mills ran night and day because they could get more power in the night than during the day time. Charcoal was produced in the same canyon. This was shipped to the mines at Bingham for smelting purposes. The lumber business brought a great deal of wealth to the people. Mines were also operated in Hardscrabble. One of the mines was operated by Gren Porter and Joe Carpenter. Mortenson also worked with them. As a young lad, Roy Mortenson was sent to the mine at night on horseback to tell Joe Carpenter that his father had died. The horse got away and Roy continued to the mine walking the rest of the way. Exhausted he slept until the men returned from the mine. Joe walked out of the canyon even though he was tired from mining for so many hours. He said if a young boy could walk to the cabin in the dark, that he would walk out. They had what was called the Iron Mine Hill. They hauled quite a lot of ore out of Hardscrabble by team and wagon and sleighs. It was loaded on train cars in Morgan. Some of it was shipped to the cement plant in Devil's Slide. Some was shipped down to the smelters below Salt Lake. It didn't seem to pay off, so they didn't mine very long. Daniel Norchy operated a mine. He and his family lived there. He packed all the groceries to supply his family for a year from Morgan to Hardscrabble. He mined there for several years, but he never had any paying ore out of it. Finally he quit and left. The seven Fowler brothers came to Hardscrabble and set up a mine and were going to smelter ore there, but it fell through. They sold a lot of stock to finance it, but it never paid off very well. John Porter and Joe Carpenter had a mine. They drove a shaft down into the canyon. They were about two hundred feet down. They had good paying ore, but the water came into it so bad, they had to abandon it.
