A view from 1939:

PIONEER, is the small group of cabins built in the spring of 1862 just before the Gold Creek diggings were abandoned for those at Bannack. Because of the lack of transportation, the miners had trouble in obtaining tools with which to work, and yields of metal were low; James and Granville Stuart made only $17.60 on their best day here.
