Rich mining prospects touted in Yankee Fork Idaho camp
A long letter from March 1870 describes Yankee Fork and Jordan creeks in Idaho Territory as rich, promising quartz camps. It highlights veins such as Charles Dickens eight-foot vein yielding about 300 per ton, General Custer and Unknown with high grades, and Montana lode on Exits Mountain with potential of 900 to 10 000 per ton. Notes scattered claims, transport costs, and a push for emigration to the region, with emphasis on experienced miners like T Butler and John Faullner.
