1898 Dewey Owyhee County Idaho
Dewey, Owyhee County, Idaho, 1898.
is a ghost town in Owyhee County, settled in 1863 and named "Booneville", after its first inhabitant, Captain Boone. Booneville was at first very prosperous, but then fell into decay. In 1896, the property at Booneville and its hotel were purchased by Colonel W.H. Dewey, superintendent of the Florida Mountain Mining Company. Dewey's company erected a mill, and a mine was located nearby. The town had a butcher shop, general store, steam laundry, livery stable and barn, and a large hotel, the Hotel Dewey. "Nothing had been neglected in the way of making the town complete as to conveniences for its inhabitants".
A post office was established in 1897, and was named "Dewey".
Within a few years, there was a decline in mining, and the hotel had burned down. The town was soon abandoned. All that remains of Dewey is a large cement powerplant building, and the mine dump.

The nail picker
"In the 1930s, the farmers would sometimes drive on the highways with their rickety hayracks, and some racks had nails that were half way out of their holes.

"Also, remember that some of the gravel highways were quite washboardy," which, he says, jiggled the nails loose.

But the highway department's machine picked up more than nails. "There were wrenches and pliers and other things that fell off tractors and threshing machines," Allen says.

The newspaper story says the machine traveled more than 1,100 miles around the state during the year. It picked up from 4.7 pounds of metal per mile to 18.6 pounds, the latter being the stretch of highway between Jamestown and Fargo.

"Pieces of springs, tools and bolts formed a large share of the metal collected," the article says, "although hundreds of nails and tacks were taken from the roads."
