Placer-1. Gold is still there. They are reworking the old diggings.

There are a lot of working diggings all along Olive creek reworking the old dredge tailings and once in awhile getting into an area where they didn't go.

Placer-2. Reworking old tailings

This is a little South West of Granite coming down from Olive lake. The area was worked with a bucket line dredge and now it is being reworked with modern machines. The old dredges missed anything over 1" and the real fine stuff. So there is a lot left.

Red Boy-1. Between Granite and the Fremont powerhouse.

The Red Boy mine was one of the stories that make Gold prospecting fun. It was one of the Big producers till it petered out and everyone left. But I'll bet there is still Gold down there for the taking.

Red Boy-2 Tailing pile across from the rockworks.

We were on the road standing looking at the tailings pile and if you look close at the center of the photo from left to right and just above center up and down you will see someone working the tailings.

Red Boy-3 Part of the remains of one of the richest pockets in the area.

At the top left you can barly make out a headframe that was part of the Red Boy and we thought Mark would make a good measuring stick to see the size of the rockwork.

Susanville-3 The Road into Susanville.

When we were going into Susanville we were wondering if someone still lived there. We saw a couple cabins that were not falling down and looked from the outside habitable. The ones that are down probably date from the 1880's

Susanville-4 The old mill from the creek side.The mine portal is in the cut behind the building.

Susanville-2 The old Mill Site

This is the old mill site and the portal is just behind me. Some of the old cabins seem to have been in use or are still in use and some of the area is under claim and being prospected. We did not see any sign of a working mine.

Susanville-1 This is the mine opening. Looks pretty bad.

We went to the end of the road that we were on across from the falling down mill and here was the portal to the riches they were getting.It may have been worked as late as 1940.
