Edited Summaries From 1902 BC. Annual Report, Atlin Mining Division
Overview: During previous 1901 winter considerable drifting was done on Pine, Spruce and Boulder Creeks which, on the whole paid very fair wages, and the work was so encouraging that the recent winter there was much greater number of men operating on the streams mentioned. It is estimated 600 to 700 miners are actually mining the Atlin Creeks in 1902. There have been no stampedes this year, no new discoveries, no labour troubles, yet labourers were reported as scarce. No winter drifting work is reported on McKee Creek.
Pine Creek. Ground on this creek is pretty well exhausted and the creek proper is practically worked out, but good pay was obtained by the various crews who operated benches during this season. From 60 to 70 men operated in this summer, but the greater part of unworked ground has passed into the hands of the hydraulic companies, some of whom have demonstrated they may secure very satisfactory results.
Spruce Creek. During the past winter about 70 to 80 men were employed drifting on this creek, and making good wages. About 150 miners then operated on this creek during the summer, most of them with very satisfactory results to themselves. The greatest trouble on this creek is the scarcity of water for sluicing and lack of dump room for tailings. Many derricks and hoists are in operation on this creek for the handling of boulders and pay dirt, and from one to two ounces per day per man were, showing that this is a rich stream. Several hydraulic concerns are endeavouring to operate on this creek, but with indifferent success as owing to the lack of water and room.
Boulder Creek. This is the “banner creek” of the district from the individual miner's standpoint. From 100 to 125 men were operating by ordinary placer mining methods during the best part of the season. It is reported these miners paid a combined $70,000 royalty to the claim owners. The present creek bed proper is pretty well worked out. Considerable drifting is being done this winterwith very satisfactory prospects indeed.
McKee Creek On this creek about 20 placer miners operated during this season, with results equal to the best ever obtained from this singularly rich stream. From two to three gold ounces per diem per man seems to have been the order wherever bedrock was reached, and many goodly nuggets have been casually picked up besides. The miners here deserved their success, for the creek is difficult to work, and open cuts over 30 feet in depth were made, in some cases through very hard material and among very large boulders. The results, however, show they were amply repaid for their perseverance.
