Several days ago a letter was received from
Mr. Joel Wing who once lived a mile past
Quartz Rock Creek. As the following exerpts
will show, Mr. Wing is looking for pictures and
information on his former home. It would be
both interesting to readers and helpful to Mr.
Wing if some information on earlier days in
the area, and some pictures could be pub-
lished in the Asbestos Sheet. People who have
some pictures or know some stories of the
early days can share them with the rest of us
by sending them in to the Asbestos Sheet, at
the Reception Office in Cassiar.

“When | came away from Quartz Creek the
last time in 1932, there was not more than
one man living upstream from us. That would
have been Claude Irvine. And Dan Keene
down at Snow Creek. | have been trying for
the last half dozen years to get some pictures
of the two cabins, about six miles down the

road from Cassiar — they belonged to my
family and later to Bob Wilms — but always
with negative results. And now | understand
that they were destroyed for road improve-
ment. | do wonder if the big ‘Quartz Creek
Nugget” is still there. The big granite boulder
that was about 20 yards down-trail from the
nearer cabin. It will be appreciated if you can
run a brief story telling that Joel, one of the
two remaining sons of the late Dave Wing,

is trying to learn the location of the Whip
Saw, handles, etc., that Bob Wilms acquired
from Dave Wing about 20 years ago. If pos-
sible, I'd like to buy it and give it to our local
historical society and museum.”

Wouldn't it be a source of pride and achieve-
ment if Cassiar could start its own historical
society and museum. Numerous old relics of
the gold digging days are scattered around the
area. Think of the nerve-tingling tales that
surround the old mine shafts and gold pans.
The long winter nights ahead of us are just
the time to start the ball rolling.
