OWYHEE AVALANCHE, Silver City, Idaho, April 5, 1873
* Very rare title from territorial Idaho
This is a quite rare newspaper from 17 years before Idaho became a state. This is an interesting issue containing a wide variety of news items and other tidbits.
Some of the articles are headed "A New Homestead Law"; "Improving the Race"; "The Cuban Struggle" and more, including many advertisements.
Complete in 4 pages, very good condition.
Silver City is a living ghost town located in southwest Idaho. It is not a tourist town, but a place where visitors can get a feel of what the West might have felt like in its booming days. Silver City even had a brewery and a bottling plant. Some of the mines produced ore well into the millions of dollars during their lifetime. Silver City started its decline about 1889 when the inevitable began to appear. Even at that time the city still had six general stores, two hotels, a newspaper, two lumber yards and several doctors and lawyers.
