WILD HORSE CREEK
The 4 Chinese companies on Wild Horse are cleaning up for the season. So far, one of the companies had cleaned up 1 flume out of 4, getting over $1000. Mr. Griffith, the only white man operating on the creek is hydraulicing, and has not cleaned up for 3 years. He will not make a cleanup this year. He thinks he has between $15,000 and $20,000 in his flumes, and has picked up several good nuggets this summer, 1 of them being worth $50, 1 $15 and 1 $11.
