Agency: BLM Region District: BUTTE Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020004 Forest or Resource Area: DILLON Owner: M Impact: U Report: Sahinen (1950) "Several shafts have been sunk into the deep gravel of Klondike Creek along the northeastern margin of the Gilfoy Hills, and some sluicing has been done. Although popular reports claim a production of many tens of thousands of dollars in gold, the extent of the workings and the existing tailings are too small to substantiate these claims. These deposits were first worked in the nineties (1890's)." |
