Pioneer Hugh Curran in Rapid River mining district
Pioneer prospector Hugh Curran traveled from Boise where he served as a witness in the Nathan Toklas versus K D Ford mining case. He recalls 1889 explorations in Rapid River and Black Lake, where he holds several claims reportedly rich with quartz yielding thousands of dollars per ton in assays. He has declined bonding offers, preferring cash sales, and continues to prospect, working his quarts to extract a good daily yield.

Forty Years a Miner Peter Smith Visits City
Peter Smith of Whitebird, a miner for 40 years, is in the city before the local land office about patenting his placer ground on Salmon river. He began in 1858 in California, mined in Idaho county's Miller’s camp for 17 years, and has worked the 60 acre claim eight miles above Whitebird for 27 years. He reports gravel values from 10 to 15 cents per yard up to 1.50, reflecting a life-long career and readiness to retire. He notes westward changes since 1862, mentioning railroads and tents then, versus today’s growth. He plans to return home today and visit Lewiston again in winter.
