All but about 4,000 ounces of Shoshone County’s 450,000 ounces of gold was mined in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains. The mineralized area can be best located from the town of Wallace. Besides its great gold production, the area has also had large deposits of lead, silver and zinc reported. Mining activity is minor in the area at this time, but the placers are occasionally worked.
West of Calder, in the St. Joe District, there are many area mines in the Shoshone part of the district. Most were lode mines that produced a by product of gold. Along the St. Joe River, in T45N R3, 4 and 9E, many area mines produced lode gold.
