Report: Grasshopper Placer, No.1 & No.2 BE004310 Once again, this may be a case of a general name applied to placers located along Grasshopper Creek. Patented placer claims line the creek bed and adjacent land but surrounding land is largely BLM. According to Gilbert, 1935 and MBMG Memoir 20 (1940), 150 cubic yards of gravel was moved in 1934 at six unpatented claims and $4,000 total production came from the Grasshopper placers as of 1939.
