Traditions tell of a hidden Bannack mother lode on Grasshopper or the divide between Big Hole and Grasshopper. Jim Olafson, a Swede, may have found it and died in an Idaho asylum after showing assay results of over $12,000 per ton. The Grasshopper diggings yielded over $20 million in gold dust and nuggets, though the actual vein has never been found.
