Squaw Creek District

Commodities: copper, silver

This district, also known as the Bodie, about 15 miles from Emmett on a branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, contains the old Liberty group. a past producer of copper-silver ore, with an 1100-foot tunnel and other workings, but no other information is available in regard to it. Presumably the deposits resemble those of the West View district
