IDAHO. 



The territory of Idaho embraces an area of 86,294 square 

 miles, and had a population in 1870, of 20,583, of whom 10,618 

 were whites and the rest Indians and Chinese. Idaho is moun- 

 tainous throughout nearly its whole extent ; many of its mountain 

 ranges are lotty and snow-capped. The only plain or prairie of 

 note is that extending- along the Snake River south-east from the 

 Payette and Sandtooth Mountains. Most of the rivers, of which 

 there are a large number, have fertile valleys, which constitute the 

 most valuable agricultural lands in the territory. There are sev- 

 eral lakes of considerable extent, all of which, with the rivers, are 

 supplied with the usual varieties of fresh water fish. The moun- 

 tains and forests abound in many varieties of large and savage 

 game, including bears, wolves, panthers, etc., while buffalo, moose, 

 elk, several species of deer, with smaller game, and many varieties 

 of fur bearing animals are found in great plenty. The birds in- 

 clude ninety-five species, and are generally abundant. The means 

 of communication are confined to wagon roads and trails. There 

 are no railroads in the territory though several have been pro- 

 jected. The nearest approach by rail is via the Ogden and Frank- 

 lin Branch of the Union Pacific. The inaccessibility of the coun- 

 try has greatly impeded its settlement and hence the sportsman 

 will find here vast tracts of undisturbed game ground, where 

 weeks and months may be spent in successful sport. 

 Ada County — 



Boise City, is a central point for expeditions into the game regions of Ada 

 County and those adjoining. The route is similar to that of Idaho City. (See 

 Boise County.) The game in the mountains includes elk, antelope, mountain 

 sheep, deer, bears and small game. The streams furnish mountain and salmon 

 trout, white tish, and other varieties.
