Episode 200: Who Owns The Treasure, Part 2

A wandering donkey helped lead Noah Kellogg to one of North Idaho’s great mineral discoveries. But finding a fortune and owning it turned out to be two different things. In Part 2 of Who Owns The Treasure we follow the Bunker Hill claim from the hillside above Milo Creek into an Idaho courtroom.
Kellogg and Phil O’Rourke had a stake in the discovery. So did the two men who supplied Kellogg’s grubstake—and the donkey.
Their disagreement raised a question worth asking even today: What happens to a promise when keeping it becomes expensive?
We hear both sides of the dispute, uncover the court’s surprising decision, and see how a patch of gray rock helped shape the Silver Valley. There’s history, a little courtroom suspense, and a donkey named Bill who may have done the most memorable work of all. My donkey, Solomon, meanwhile, is reviewing his legal options.
