More than a century ago, Rocky Bar, Happy Camp, and a number of other South Boise mining towns flourished in a remote mountain wilderness 30 miles northwest of here.
Discovered early in 1863, they were so hard to get to that the could not be worked successfully for more than 20 years. But wealthy investors from New York and London finally put up enough capital that large mills and unground tunnels produced more than 6 million dollars. That gold now is worth more than 120 million.
