In the extreme north part of the county in T34N R114 and 115W is the Horse Creek prospects. In the northwest corner T37N R116W at the mouth of Pine Creek, on the South side of the Snake River, is the Pine Bar Diggings. The Pine Bar Diggings is barren on the top 8 foot of soil, but you will find gold on bedrock below the overburden. On a Terrace at the mouth of Pine creek 50 feet above the water level and about 600 feet wide you will find some productive placer ground. On the east side of the Snake River, from the Mouth of Bailey Creek .5 miles north, in SW 1/4 T38N R116W is the Davis Claim. The gravel bars of the Snake River and its tributaries contain very fine flour gold. On the area terraces you can find fine placer gold.
