Found Gold in Every Pan

"On September we estimated that there were 5000 miners inches of water in Palmer Creek. There is a good fall to the creek, about a six or seven mile current and plenty of timber. especially at the lower end for all mining purposes. It is To- cated in a good looking placer coun- try, good high rolling we'll worn gravel benches, and the formation is right for placer gold, mica shist porphry and slate with a sprinkling of we'll worn granite and quartz boulders. The bedrock is soft and 1t should be an easy creek to work. We banned from the mouth to the head of the creek and got coarse gold ev- erywhere. It seems to be very even distribution of values, and while we did not find any nuggets. we did find gold in every pan that we banned. Some of our pannings were fairly coarse and all of the gold shows up round and rough under glass.
