Should be interesting to research and see if it developed into anything big.

I've spent a lot of time in the Bruneau country of Idaho....if there's gold there, I've never seen it. There were some minor gold strikes on the Bruneau in northern Nevada near Rowland...the Gold Basin Mining District, but they never amounted to much. That is some really rough and remote country....not for the faint-hearted.

Bruneau country, as it was called a century ago, has been know for sporadic, but rich, pockets of gold. A few working mines did spring up from Rowland to Jarbridge, on both sides of the border. Most shut down within a decade when the veins pinched out. Others, including many of the mines near Jarbridge, lasted longer, but were shut down during WWII.

Based on my limited study of the area, I believe that modern exploration techniques could open up the area once again. I seem to remember that some limited drilling was done a few decades ago near Rowland, but I do not know what the results were, or who completed the work.

Too late for more coffee.
