Kellogg's Jackass
Kellogg's Jackass
With a grubstake of one jackass and $18.75 worth of flour, bacon, and beans, Noah Kellogg came here prospecting in 1855.
Not far from here, his jackass strayed away. Kellogg finally found his wandering burro grazing on a tremendous outcropping of galena on the hillside above Wardner, about two miles south of here. Such was the discovery of the world famous Bunker Hill mine, which has produced over 28 million tones of lead., silver, and zinc---and the is not yet in site.
