Report: This site was visited on 06/06/01 by MBMG geologists; it is in sec 8, T12N, R24W on the White Mountain 7.5.-min. quadrangle. A tributary of Cache Creek that enters from the northwest had been placered as observed in the steep cut banks downhill from the Cache Creek Trail No. 317, off of the South Fork of Fish Creek. The main Cache Creek showed no obvious signs of placering. It was listed as developing in 1974 (Lawson, 1975).
