Idaho Prospectors Speak of Lost Packer Boom and New Camps
Clarence Eddy reports from Idaho on expanding mining development led by the Lost Packer and nearby camps. He notes a growing town Ivers with a 100-ton smelter, electrical plants, and rail freight. Cash Box and Casto near Canyon Creek show rich vein finds and strong ore values. The Golden Sunbeam district promises vast enrichment with plans for large mills and new power, while past booms at Thunder Mountain and Buffalo Hump contrast Idaho’s current progress and rival booms in Nevada.
