In 1855, Noah Kellogg came prospecting with a grubstake of one jackass and $18.75 worth of flour, bacon, and beans. After his jackass strayed away not far from here, Kellogg found the wandering burro grazing on a tremendous outcropping of galena on the hillside above Wardner, about two miles south of here. That discovery led to the world famous Bunker Hill mine, which has produced over 28 million tons of lead, silver, and zinc, and the end is not yet in sight.
