famous Salmon R iver gold rush, and the
settlem ent of future Idaho, were given im ­
petus when an' old prospector heard a Nez Perce
Indian say: “ One night, with two of my people,
I slept in a canyon, deep and dark. H igh in one
of the rocky sides, we saw an eye of light. It
watched us all night. In the m orning we looked
for it. It was fast in the rock. W e could not
move it. It was great medicine, and we left it
there. ’ ’ T he gold h unter spent years of searching
for that “ eye of light. ” A lthough his search was
a fruitless one, it nevertheless heralded the open­
ing of the golden trail to Idaho and the later de­
velopment of that State.
