This river and its tributory creeks were very thoroughly prospected for gold in the early days of the Klondyke rush, and many owners of clafiins got fair returns. Some miners who bad worked in the South African gold fields were struck with ifs similarity to the rich "blanket" deposits of the rand. Subsequent examinations show- ed that the ore ran from $1 wo $200 ton.
