"The Arkansas company was relatively affluent. Most of its wealth took the form of a large herd of cattle, estimated by various observers to number from three hundred to a thousand head, not including other animals, work oxen, horses, or mules. ... John W. Baker later placed the value of property his father took on the journey at 'the full sum of ten thousand dollars.' Besides animals, some thirty or forty wagons and equipment, members also carried varying amounts of cash..." (Forgotten Kingdom, p. 160)
The reason for this massacre was robbery, and only robbery. They justified the murders as revenge for the death of their prophets:
While the first attack may have been primarily to obtain the cattle, the final attack, on Sept 11th, seems to have been motivated by the Mormon secret oath to avenge the blood of their prophets. Harrison Pearce, my great-great-grandfather, was one who argued for wiping out the wagon train. Western historian Will Bagley recounts:
"After leaving the Fancher party, John Hawley arrived at the village of Washington to find Lee and the other leaders had sent their interpreters to incite the Paiutes to attack the emigrant camp. The town's military and religious authorities sought to inflame the passions of their followers. The first counselor in the local bishopric, Nauvoo Legion captain Harrison Pearce impressed Hawley as the most militant authority. In a public meeting, Pearce said he wished to 'see all the Gentyles strippt naked and lashed on their backs and have the Sun scorch them to death by inches.'
Many, many, many years ago I worked in a Gold & Silver leaching operation. Since Water at these remote Mills was a precious commodity, it was reused as much as possible. After the 'pregnant' Cyanide solution was pumped out, the Slimes (what you see) were shoveled out by hand instead of wasting precious water to pump the Slimes to a settling pond. That is why you usually see the Slimes in piles around the tanks.
Got out to the Epsom Salts Monorail a few years back. But am prohibited from posting my pictures, since it is all on China Lake. The ultimate bucket list California ghost railroad. So Dr. Walt, what is the Mojave Megaphone? Along the T&T between Ludlow & Crucero.

Is this Poeville or The Tanks?
There's a select place for those who blaspheme then hurt my rock art.

What's really amazing is I can remember buying Gas in the late 1960's for only 17 cents a gallon. Talk about highway robbery . . . .
