The lost Wheelbarrow Mine is claimed to have been located about 10 miles (16 km) from Potlatch in Latah County, Idaho.[1][2][3] The reported location is 3,871 feet (1,179.9 meters) above sea level, at the coordinates 46.9975° N, 116.7833° W.[4][5] The mine, believed to have been dug prior to 1890, was said to have produced $20,000 in gold, before a falling-out between its operators led to its abandonment.[4] One of the operators later returned to the area to find the mine again, but was unsuccessful.[4] In June 1939, miners with the Fitsum Mining company uncovered an abandoned mine matching the description of the Wheelbarrow mine, containing human bones, presumed to belong to the other operator.[4]
