PLACER PROPERTIES.

LIGHTNING CREEK SECTION.

One placer lease extending up Grub Gulch from its mouth is held by
Ennerdale F. Freeman and J. Hind, of Stanley. Hydraulic equipment was
Placer (37). installed in 1989 and operations began in 1940. Since then the pit has
been advanced southerly up Grub Gulch for about 900 feet from
Lightning Creek. Water under a head of about 80 feet was obtained from Van Winkle
Creek through about 2,000 feet of flume and ditch. The height of the bank has
increased with the southerly advance of the pit and in 1945 had reached a height of
about 110 feet. In order to obtain a higher head of water, a new dam was built in 1946
on Grub Gulch about 1,200 feet south of the head of the pit. Water from Van Winkle
Creek will be diverted through an old ditch whose intake is about 5,000 feet up from
the mouth of Van Winkle Creek.

In 1945 three north-easterly trending fault-zones in a width of 100 feet were to be
seen when bedrock was exposed in the bottom of the pit. In the faults there was a
considerable amount of granulated quartz which, although well mineralized with pyrite,
assayed: Gold, trace. The assays of galena pebbles obtained from concentrates from
this pit are given in Table I, Group 4, page 27.

The gold production of Grub Gulch is listed in Table IV and the gold fineness in
Table VI.

Two placer leases on the upper part of Perkins Creek are held by

Estman Mrs. C. Estman, of Ladner. A small hydraulic plant was installed,
Hydraulic using the small flow of Perkins Creek. Bedrock is overlain by about
(34). 25 feet of gravel and boulder-clay. The hydraulic pit was advanced up

the creek and by 1941 was almost to the north boundary of Lot 10734c.
Since then no work has been done.
The working lies about 3,000 west of the Perkins veins on Burns Mountain. Pre-
sumably some of the placer gold may have been derived from the erosion of those veins.
The recent gold production of Perkins Creek is listed in Table IV and the fineness
of the gold in Table VI.
Six placer leases on Houseman (Eagle) Creek and on Lightning Creek
Eagle Creek near the junction of Houseman Creek are held by Mr. and Mrs. Leroy
Hydraulic Biggs, of Stanley. Bedrock gravel in Houseman Creek was drifted by
(44). Otto Muller to a point about 1,200 feet up-stream from the junction
with Lightning Creek. In 1926 the Cariboo Eagle Mining Company,
Limited, built a storage-dam and installed a hydraulic system to use water from House-
man Creek.
