Description Girl Pioneers of America Band 1 in the mining town of Bingham. Photograph taken at the Highland Boy Community House. Gold, silver, lead, and then copper were mined in Bingham. General Patrick Conner's men from Fort Douglas actually staked the first claim in the canyon. At its peak, Bingham was seven miles long but less than a city block wide. The town was unincorporated in 1971 and demolished to make way for further mining development.
