Know Your Idaho Mineral Wealth
Idaho leads the nation in silver and antimony production and has produced at least 40 mineral commodities. It ranks second in zinc and lead and contributes much cadmium. Early metal discoveries are traced to Boise Basin placer gold known by a 1844 Hudson Bay Co. trapper with later reports from Stevens and Mullan Expeditions, though mining began later due to Indigenous hostility.

Lost River Country and Its Craters of the Moon
French fur traders An toine Godin were early explorers of the Lost River area, later Butte County, with Godin River as its original name. In 1832 they mapped the region, Godin was killed by Indians, and little history followed until 1870 when Jack Hood opened the first wagon route. A suspension bridge at Arco linked the route to Oregon, cattle trails flourished, and near Arco lies the National Reactor Testing Station, a nearly half billion dollar project. The Craters of the Moon rise from desert sands, with vast lava fields and caves.
