10. Palouse Prairie Section
10. Palouse Prairie Section Section Description The Palouse Prairie Section, part of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion, is located along the western border of northern Idaho, extending west into Washington (Fig. 10.1, Fig. 10.2). This section is characterized by dissected loess-covered basalt plains, undulating plateaus, and river breaks. Elevation ranges from 220 to 1,700 m (722 to 5,577 ft). Soils are generally deep, loamy to silty, and have formed in loess, alluvium, or glacial outwash. The lower reaches and confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers are major waterbodies. Climate is maritime influenced. Precipitation ranges from 25 to 76 cm (10 to 30 in) annually, falling primarily during the fall, winter, and spring, and winter precipitation falls mostly as snow. Summers are relatively dry. Average annual temperature ranges from 7 to 12 ºC (45 to 54 ºF). The growing season varies with elevation and lasts 100 to 170 days. Population centers within the Idaho portion of the section are Lewiston and Moscow, and small agricultural communities are dispersed throughout. Outdoor recreational opportunities include hunting, angling, hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing. The largest Idaho Palouse Prairie grassland remnant on Gormsen Butte, south of Department of Fish and Moscow, Idaho with cropland surrounding © 2008 Janice Hill Game (IDFG) Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Idaho, Craig Mountain WMA, is partially located within this section. The deep and highly-productive soils of the Palouse Prairie have made dryland farming the primary land use in this section. Approximately 44% of the land is used for agriculture with most farming operations occurring on private land. -

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. -
The Unsung Trapdoor Rifle
http://rockislandauction.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-unsung-trapdoor-rifle.html The Unsung Trapdoor Rifle Written by Joel Kolander at Rock Island Auction Company, Friday, October 25, 2013 - http://www.rockislandauction.com/ Reprinted on the VGCA website with permission of Joel Kolander and Rock Island Auction Company. All photographs are courtesy of Rock Island Auction Company. In terms of American military long arms very little attention is given to a predecessor of the much heralded M1903 and M1 Garand, the Springfield Trapdoor. The Springfield Trapdoor was produced for over 20 years and would experience many changes throughout its life. The rifle would take its place in history just after the Civil War, despite the justifiable hesitation of many military personnel who were all too aware about the superiority of repeaters and magazine fed rifles. It would kill buffalo by the thousands as America expanded westward and would also play a role in the wars against the Native Americans. Militarily it represents the watershed transition for U.S. forces from the musket to the rifle. Today we find out a little bit more of this rifle, its origins, the question of its performance, and its role in history. Lot 3507: Rare Early Springfield Armory Model 1873 Trapdoor Rifle with Rare Metcalfe Device Origins After the Civil War, the War Department wanted a breech-loading rifle. To be specific, they wanted a breech-loading rifle that would chamber a self-primed, metallic cartridge. This led to the formation of an Army Board who, in 1865, would host trials of different rifles by makers both foreign and domestic. -
