Custer County Idaho Presents Rich Mines and Bright Prospects
A retrospective on Custer County Idaho highlights its mineral wealth and agricultural promise. It traces mining history from early placer events to quartz expansion, lists major districts such as Mackay and Bayhorse, notes 5000 claims and multiple mills, and emphasizes irrigation, stock-raising, farming, and a favorable climate.
