Work scheduled to commence June 24th and be completed by July 8th but was extended slightly to try to complete the project. The claim is in good standing until January 26th 2017. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION The Chew Tung Hydraulic claim is approximately 3km south of Wells on Cow and Richfield Mountains and is just over 1302 hectares. It is easily accessible by 4x4 vehicles or ATV, during the dry season, by the Jack of Clubs Creek Service Road located approximately 4km west of Wells off Highway 26. The current project area lies south of Jack of Clubs Lake, situated within the Quesnel Highlands on the eastern edge of the Interior Plateau. The topography is moderate, rising from about 1200m at Wells to just over 1700m on Cow Mountain. The climate consists of cool summers and cold winters due to the moderately high altitude of the Wells area and is wet throughout the year, with a mean annual precipitation of 100 cm that includes a significant amount of snow, especially at the higher elevations. The area does experience Chinook conditions during the winter months and the climate becomes very mild for brief periods of time. Snowfall in the area is moderate to heavy. In the summer the area experiences fairly consistent rain in early and late summer with extended dry hot spells in between. Summits in the immediate area are generally rounded, having been glaciated by continental ice sheets during the Pleistocene Epoch (Holland, 1976, Hart, 2001). Ice direction is generally to the northwest near Wells and glacial till is the most widespread surficial deposit in the area. The Wells area is generally well forested. Hillside slopes are dominated by spruce and sub-alpine fir, accompanied by alders and other deciduous foliage on lower wetter slopes flanking river valleys. GEOLOGICAL SETTING The geology of the Cariboo gold mining district has been presented in reports and maps by Bowman (1889, 1895), Johnston and Uglow (1926), Hanson (1935), Sutherland Brown (1957), Struik (1988) and Levson and Giles (1993). The Chew Tung Hydraulic Project lies within the Kootenay (Barkerville) Terrane, part of the Omineca Belt of the Canadian Cordillera (cf. Struik; 1986; 1988) The Barkerville Terrane consists of a Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic sequence of continental shelf and slope deposits developed adjacent to the craton of Ancestral North America and includes clastic sedimentary rocks along with lesser amounts of volcanic rocks and carbonates. It is structurally the lowest exposed stratigraphic sequence in the area and is more deformed and metamorphosed than adjacent terrains. Rocks of the Snowshoe Group in the Wells area have been metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies, generally of lower metamorphic grade than other sequences in the Barkerville Terrane. Rocks of the Barkerville Terrane were subjected to an early period of ductile deformation that resulted in westward directed, asymmetrical folds plunging shallowly to the northwest. Post metamorphic open folds with upright cleavage are superimposed on earlier structures. During Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary time, the terrane was disrupted by northwest trending dextral strike-slip faults such as the Willow Fault, a major strike slip fault of unknown displacement that has been mapped through Mount Tom, Island Mountain, Cow Mountain and Richfield Mountain in the Wells area (Struik, 1988) A wide spread mantle of glacial drift overgrown with trees and vegetation, limits the, outcrop of bedrock largely to the tops of ridges, divides and individual mountains and along steep slopes of the more prominent rivers and streams. Outcrops of bedrock are not extensive even along the ridges and mountain tops. Local bedrock outcrops are found in the bottom of some of the incised streams and along the steep north side of Cow and Richfield Mountains. The remainder of the area contains a fairly thick mantle of glacial drift. Stratigraphy The Cariboo group, which underlies the area of the claim, is composed of clastic rocks with lesser amounts of carbonate rocks. The rocks have been subjected to a low-grade regional metamorphism and intense deformation. The deformation has impressed a marked secondary foliation on most all the clastic rocks and some carbonate rocks. Despite the effects of deformation and regional metamorphism, the rocks still commonly show original bedding and other sedimentary features. Many of the rocks are difficult to name accurately because of their original sedimentary and subsequent metamorphic character. Many clastic rocks of the Cariboo group are composed of poorly sorted sediments of grains much larger

Signed by the final examining committee: Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski Chair Dr. Eric H. Reiter Examiner Dr. Gavin Taylor Examiner Dr. Wilson Chacko Jacob Supervisor Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date Abstract Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills Miners’ meetings were a customary legal practice from California that was imported to British Columbia during the Fraser River gold rush (1858). To date, there has been limited recognition of this practice’s influence on the development of British Columbia. The historical works that do exist on the subject argue that the practice was not established in the colony owing to the Colonial Government’s allowance for Mining Boards, a representative institution, by The Gold Fields Act, 1859. To the contrary, this thesis looks at the different ways that miners’ meetings and miners’ customary law were expressed and adapted to conditions in British Columbia before and after the passing of The Gold Fields Act, 1859.

  • Gender, Race, and the Politics of Leisure in Colonial British Columbia, 1860–1871
    Civilized, Roughly: Gender, Race, and the Politics of Leisure in Colonial British Columbia, 1860–1871 Alice Gorton* Introduction n late August 1865, Judge William Cox arbitrated a case that took place between three men and a woman in a Cariboo bar named Collins’ Saloon. The altercation occurred when a white miner, William Stewart, attacked a Chinese man who was tending bar I 1 in place of Collins. Adjudicating the case, Cox chastised Stewart for his behaviour, but, at the same time, he made it clear that “men have a right to go into a public house and are entitled to civility. Saloon keepers are bound to keep proper attendants in the bar, and a Chinaman is not a proper barkeeper.”2 This example, which illustrates one way in which white men used discourses of civilization to shape access to drinking culture, sheds light on a broader phenomenon characteristic of Cariboo mining society. For many white miners, being a man in the Cariboo meant drinking, gambling, and sparring, but equally, they held dear the idea of their unique “civility,” an aspect of mining culture that has often been overlooked by historians who focus on miners’ disreputability. By invoking discourses of civilization, these men created an idealized culture that merged roughness and respectability. In attempts to shore up the ascendancy of this image, they worked to maintain and reinforce hierarchical social systems through their clear and repeated efforts to * Special thanks are due to the editors and anonymous reviewers at BC Studies for their invaluable comments and feedback on this piece.

  • The Cariboo Gold District – the History of Forgotten Riches
    The Cariboo Gold District – The History of Forgotten Riches Ask anybody over the age of 30 who walks by to name some old-time gold rushes and they will likely answer California and the Klondike. And yes, those were major events. California was the first gold rush wave, attracting a quarter million fortune seekers to the gold fields near the Sacramento River from 1849 to 1853. Then there was a huge gold rush in Australia. After that came the Yukon gold rush in northern Canada, which pulled hundreds of thousands of miners to the bitter cold of the Klondike to pan for riches in the dying years of the 1800s. These storied gold rushes spawned characters and tales almost too dramatic to believe. And there’s only so much room in the world of historic folklore for gold stories. So, it’s no surprise that gold rushes outside of these top three get forgotten. But there were others. And they were also intense and exciting and wildly profitable. And central British Columbia hosted two of them. Gold was discovered in the gravels of the upper Fraser River in 1858. Three years later, just as out-of-luck miners from both California and the Fraser needed another opportunity, gold was discovered in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. 1 The Cariboo Gold District – The History of Forgotten Riches The Cariboo gold rush offers all the same incredible stories of fame and fortune as these other famous gold rushes. Within a few years there was a saloon with dancing girls, in this case a troupe of Dutch and German girls called the Hurdy Gurdies.
