  • LOCATION of IDAHO's TERRITORIAL CAPITAL Number 344 December 24, 1964
    344 IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES LOCATION OF IDAHO'S TERRITORIAL CAPITAL Number 344 December 24, 1964 On December 24, 1864, Boise became the capital of the territory of Idaho. But although the act of the territorial legislature was clear and simple, the situation was not, and the story surrounding it is typical of politics of that day. When the territory of Idaho was established by Congress, March 4, 1863, the law provided that the first territorial legislature should select a permanent capital. Originally, before the new territory was set up, the weight of population had been in the north and the principal city there was Lewiston. When the first territorial governor, William Henson Wallace, reached the territory in July, 1863, it was logical for him to establish his office in Lewiston and proclaim the organization of the territory from that town. It was also to Lewiston that he summoned the first territorial legislature in December, 1863. But for a little more than a year the center of population had been shifting. Gold had been struck in the Boise Basin in the summer of 1862, and the new mines had drawn population from north to south. When the census, on which apportionment was based, was taken in September, 1863, the area around Boise already had far more people than did the northern mines around Lewiston. The trend continued in coming years. That first legislature in Lewiston in 1863 did not face the issue of locating a definite territorial capital. Thus all through 1864, Lewiston was the temporary seat of the territorial government, but there was no permanent capital.

  • Contributions to Economic Geology, 1930
    CONTRIBUTIONS TO ECONOMIC GEOLOGY, 1930 PART 1. METALS AND NONMETALS EXCEPT FUELS A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF METAL MINING IN IDAHO By CLYDE P. Ross ABSTRACT In this paper the mining history of Idaho is reviewed by means of three statistical charts which show that there was considerable placer mining in the sixties, that a depression in all mining occurred in the seventies, that lode mining started in the eighties, and that the mining of lead-silver ore soon became the dominant factor in the industry. Improvements in ore dressing have recently caused some increase in the production of zinc. The production of copper, never large, reached its peak in 1907 and has since been declining. Shoshone County has been the outstanding producer almost since the first discovery of the deposits of the Coeur d'Alene district and in 1926 produced nearly 94 per cent of the total for the State. Boise and Idaho Counties were the dominant producers in the early placer days but have since been relatively unimportant. Blaine, Custer, and Lemhi Counties had large production in the eighties, and each has had a revival since 1900. Custer County, the least productive of the three in the early days, has had the most encouraging revival, but the formerly famous Blaine County had the smallest and most delayed re­ vival of the three. Owyhee County had an early placer boom, followed by active production from lodes in 1867 to 1876 and again in 1889 to 1914, the longest period of mining prosperity anywhere in Idaho outside of Shoshone County. Production in each of the counties, except Shoshone County, has been governed primarily by discovery of ore and only secondarily by economic factors, and in most counties the quantity found in any one period was small.
