Kellogg is located near the Sunshine Silver Mine, the largest silver mine in the United States.
The founding of Kellogg: 1885 -- In 1885 a man named Noah Kellogg, and his donkey (burrow) founded Kellogg, Idaho. Noah was a hopeful gold prospector who lived in Murray, Idaho. He was always trying to find someone who would give him a grub stake (A business deal where a wealthy man gives the prospector goods to go mining, so the wealthy  man will get a percentage of the riches). To Noah's luck two men by the name of Mr. Peck and Mr. Cooper loaned him tools and grub (food), and a donkey to carry them.  Noah started out down the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River. Soon he came to the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River. He crossed it and headed south up present day Milo Creek, and finally stopped at the site of the Wardner city hall. One morning Noah awoke to find his donkey had wandered off. He proceeded to search for it, and upon finding it he realized that it was grazing on top of a large outcropping of galena (lead ore), and thus Kellogg was founded.
