Historical Notes
The Doukhober discovery tale names extraordinary silver values from a 1929 find in northern Stevens County. As with many ledge legends, the discoverer could not return to the exact outcrop amid rugged northeast Washington terrain. Legends of America groups it with Robbers' Roost and Colville highgrader caches in Stevens County.
