By John Saltas| Salt Lake City Weekly Verified The first time I saw a mass protest was certainly during one of the many miners' strikes that occurred in Bingham Canyon when I was growing up. It seemed like the strikers always gathered near our home in Lead Mine, site of the precipitation plant ("P-Plant") that never shut down and where—due to the high profitability of the plant—non-striking "company men" kept it operating. That one of Bingham Canyon's most well-known taverns, the Moonlight Gardens, was also in Lead Mine was just a bonus
