In the late-nineteenth century, silver was discovered in northern Idaho and mining quickly became a thriving industry in the region. The town of Wallace, Idaho, was established to meet the needs of the incoming miners to the area. With this influx of young, single men there was a perceived “lack of women.” The few women that were there provided many services to the miners such as laundry, cooking,and sex work.
Prostitution was not officially criminalized in Wallace until the early 1990s.
Of all the mines in the Silver Valley the Sunshine Mine, located between the cities of Wallace and Kellogg, is perhaps the best known. Over its one-hundred-and-ten-year history, the Sunshine has produced millions of tons of lead, zinc, and copper; and over 360 million ounces of silver.
