Abstract
"The Nez Perce Chief was built at Celilo to run in connection with the steamer, Oneonta from The Dalles to Upper Cascades, north bank. Captain J. H. D. Gray was her commander. Her route was to Lewiston and she made good time in passenger service but was too light for a freight boat. During the Salmon river excitement beyond Lewiston she carried the most valuable cargo ever brought down the river. The value of the gold dust on her manifest, Oct. 29, 1863 was $382,000."
