Elkhorn Mine Boosts Wood River Boom in 1879
Col J T Lewis, once linked to Montana ventures, secured a thirty day $12,000 bond to buy the Elkhorn mine near Ketchum Idaho. A partner group formed with A M Molter, R Hale, and others. The mine yielded profits of $177,060 since 1879, ore averaging 100 ounces per ton silver and 52 percent lead, with a third of a million dollar offer refused. The Wood River region swells with growth as Hailey line, four smelters, and 5,000 mines unfold along a 80 mile belt.

Reduction in Central and Union Pacific passenger fares proposed
