on Salmon River.
width east-west; or an area OF
1888 square miles.
On ascending Bayhorse creek,
when about two miles from Sal
mon river, the walls of the can
yon rise abruptly on both sides
to a height above the stream from
1, 500 to 1000 feet. These walls
are built up entirely of a grey
blue limestone of Silurian Age,
which is locally known as the
Bayhorse limestone. No com
plete fossils have been observed
in this lime, but a few imperfect
specimens of Trilobite and other
crustaceans have been uncovered
near its upper stratum, which
would indicate its age. Lying
conformably on this lime, is a
wide development of shale and
slate, probably of Devonian Age,
and locally known as Ramshorn
shale from its greatest develop.
ment on Ramshorn Peak, and
also being the enclosing rock of
the Ramshorn ana nearby mines.
La and between these two forma-
tions all of the principal mines
of the district occur. There is
a shale and calcareous formation
of undetermined width lying be-
meath the Bayhorse lime; It's low
er diversion altered into gneiss,
and resting on a dome of granite
exposed on Nevada Hill. Ores
OF limited extent have been found
within this formation also. This
exposure of granite on Nevada
Hill is the only one known in the
district.
The principal geographic fea-
ture of the district is a great
northsonth anticlinal fold, in
Gliding three or four minor folds
within it, and in which all of the
sedimentary rocks were involved
and uplifted to a great height
just west of the town of Bay
horse. Fully 5000 feet Of strata
have been tilted from horizon
tai to almost vertical position in
their movement. While these
folds were being made by the
uplifting of the granite range
farther to the west, many bikes
and sheets of igneous rock in
trude through the strata and
and along the planes of separa-
ton between the limestone and
upper shale. 1t was this intru-
sion Of volcanic rocks, long after
the limestones and shales had
become hardened, and more or
less broken by fitting that intro
duced the ores of copper, lead
and silver into the channels,
chambers and veins in which
they are now found.
In the Ramshorn shaIe the
veins appear more as assures,
probably bedded, and having
steep dip to the west, with strike
parallel to the main folding,
north-south. These ores are
composed of copper and silver
and are of unusual high grade in
silver. While the deposits of
this nature are apparently re-
stricted to Ramshorn Mountain,
the production of ores from them
have been equal to that of the
other mines, not more in number,
but covering a wider area.
The occurrences of ores in the
Bay horse limestone have been
characteristic deposits. of this
kind. The bodies are enclosed
in the upper stratum of lime, and
directly beneath q sill or sheet

Bayhorse Canyon
At time when the nearest
railroad point was Ogden, Utah,
and few wagon roads had ex.
tended far into the interior oil
Idaho; and before it was consid.
cred safe to travel, other than ia
parties of considerable numbers
for fear of attack by hostile In
dians, the first discovery of ore
was made in what is now known
as the Bayhorse Mining District.
There was a claim called the
Ripple" located by S. A. Boone
and w. A. Norton, September
list, 1873, and covered part OF
ground now known as the Turtle
mine.
From the time this beginning
was made up to 1877 little seems
to have been done in further
prospecting the locality about
Bayhorse. But in the Summer
of 1877 Jack Hood, Geo. Harland,
Bob Beardsley, A. P. Challis and
Sam Blackburn, made many new
discoveries near where the town
OF Bayhorse now stands. AS the
ores they found were very rich
IN copper, silver and lead, the
news Of their discovery spread
rapidly into adjoining Territor-
les, and the Spring of 1873 wit
messed quite a rush of miners
and investors from Utah, Mon
tana and other portions of Idaho.
This was about the time the
placer mines were becoming ex-
hausted throughout this region,
and the pioneer miners were
casting about for anew vocation.
The mining of silver was at that
time just beginning to attract
attention, and, while it was new
kind of employment they under
took it as confidently as they
had made their first rush to the
golden sands of California.
The building and operating of
smelters where coke could not
be had for fuel, and exporting
bullion to market 800 or 400 miles
away, presented q line of expen-
SEES and difficulties they were not
always prepared to overcome.
However, active work was car
ried on for period of 10 years.
When the decline in the value of
silver and lead and the fact that
railroads had not reached much
nearer the camp, were causes
sufficient to compel many of these
mines TO suspend active opera
lions; but not until the Bayhorse
Mining District had production
OF 10, 900, 600 in bullion to its
credit.
For the last 10 years mining
has been carried on in desultory
way, mostly by "leaserso and
small operators, and at such
times when local market for
their ores could be secured at the
shelters. OF late there has been
a marked Improvement in the
production of the camp, and with
the almost certain advent of the
Short Line railroad in 1904, Civ
cheaper transportation to it's
smelling ores, the district will
not only rival its past record, but
far excel it.
The geological limits of the
district extends from Mill creek
on the north to Sink creek on
the south; and from mile east
of the town of Bayhorse to the
lakes, about 4 miles west, max
ing a stretch of country Is miles
long aorth-south by 5 miles in

between the limestone foot walls
and shale hanging wall These
ores do not occur as continuous
beds, parallel with the vein walls
but, frequently fill transverse
cracks or assures leading away
from the porphyry cap for short
distances. This condition has
been the source of much mis-
understanding, and expensive
work, driving long tunnels
through hard rock to intersect
these so-called assure veins. all
of which have met with disap-
pointment. The ancient idea
being, that the ores must come
up from the deep. While the
ores in this instance are contact
occurrences, and limited in their
dip and strike to the upper stra-
tum of limestone and igneous
cap, which is of course always
at right angle to these transverse
openings.
The area over which these con
tact ores may be found extends
from the Dorgan mine four miles
north of Bayhorse, to the Sher-
man mine eight miles south. AS
this part of the district has been
little understood, in the past, it
is probable that it will prove to
be the greater source of ore in
the future. One thing should be
noted in this connection; the best
bodies found so far have been on
the crests of the minor folds, in
cluded in the main fold, which
would allie them to the Saddle
Reefs of Bendigo in nature of
accumulation and arrangement.
The working out of these
peculiarities will undoubtedly
lead to the discovery of many
more valuable mines in the time
to come, and the field is still
largely open to the miner and
investor.
1t seems in place to add few
observations on the action OF the
Quaternary over the field in
question. In the first place tie
Silurian rocks were laid in hori-
zontal position and rested nndis-
turbed until the close of Paleozoic
time; then great breaking up
of the deep took place and high
mountains were liftel out OF this
Ancient Sea. Prodigious can
yons were worn down in places,
as the volcanoes now filing them
up along the Salmon, above
Challis, attest. Following, in
Tertiary time, there came a per-
iod Of subsistence, and again the
seas encroached, and crept to
the SUBMITS of the highest peaks.
At this time, were deposited the
coal shales found on the high
grade below Bayhorse bridge
and again at the head of Sawmill
gulch, z miles southwest of Bay
horse. 1t was that period of
elevation at the close of the Ter
tiary, and beginning of the Quat-
that lifted the great an
t:clinal fold at Bayhorse several
thousand feet higher than the
surrounding country east and
north. Up to his time, meme of
the many veins had reached the
surface, but were buried deep
with states and volcanic illusions.
Then the glaciers came and at
tanned unusual development on
the plateaus andenclrcling range
to the west, and sent glacier after
glacier down to the valleys that
scored out the deep canyons on
the west side of the river. It'll
was these missions made deep
into the limestones that first ex-
posed the ores of the district.
Along the foothills, and reaching
high on the mountain sides may
yet be seen, great angular bould-
lers of drifts torn from their
parent beds and carried miles
