After the separation of the partnership of Hunt and Hart, W. P. Hunt continued to operate as an express service in the same general area of Warren, Idaho Territory. This express is believed to have operated between the Warren mining area and the river towns along the Salmon River. It may have established a run to Lewiston, Idaho Territory by a river and overland route. In 1872, the express was sold to the Baird Brothers.
