50 YEARS AGO — APRIL, 1938 CARIBOO PROMISES LODE REVIVAL

The Cariboo district of British Columbia, famous for its colorful and prosperous gold rush in the middle of the last century, now seems to be entering a new period of mining activity. But whereas the old-timers recovered, by crude methods, million of dollars worth of gold from the streams, in placer deposits, the greatest possibilities of the district are now seen as lode mining. However, the placer wealth is by no means exhausted. Reprinted from The Northern Miner, April, 1938.
