In the death of William B. Knott
who died in Boise hospital re-
Gently, there passed one of the
most picturesque characters in Ida
he. Knott was one OF the earliest
of Idaho's prospectors, and had he
the properties he owned at one
time he would have left millions iu-
stead of dying practically pauper.
Knott was the original discoverer
of gold on what is now the property
of the Trade Dollar company in
Owyhee county. The Trade Dollar
is one of the richest mines in the
state. Knott at one time owned
seven of the claims in the Trade
Dollar group. He was offered as
high as S2S0,0OO for his holdings.
at the time he was penniless, but
he refused to sell and lived to see
his mines pass into the hands of
others without his realizing
cent for them. 1t is said that
shortly before he finally lost all
claim to his mining possessions he
was offered 100000 for one of his
claims, and that though he was
then without money, he refused to
sell. 1t was through a variety of
legal complications that Knot lest
his claims. 1t is said that after
he had discovered the rich ledge of
gold ore that made the property
valuable he neglected to protect
by filing on the outcrop-
pings; that other parties filed ON
them, and then by setting up the
claim that Knott was working on
their ledge, succeeding in dispos-
'essing him. 1t is said that he lost
other claims when he failed to do
he assessment work on them. Knot

'ectors in the country. He was a
nan who reused to allow others

poken, fearless characters of the
