Warrens placer rush eyed with new state wagon road plans
Idaho mining notes describe two dredges to work the Warrens placer field north of Weiser this spring. John Stearns of Nampa backs a surveying party to map a state wagon road through central Idaho, aiming to locate rich mineral finds and promote local prosperity while Holton and partners form Secession Basin operations near Warrens. The piece also notes mounting interest, local schooling, and community updates across Council and Salubria.
