Important Note About Dredge Density Levels

DREDGE DENSITY LEVELS: No more than 10 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Klamath River. No more than 8 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Scott and Salmon Rivers. No more than 3 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed on Elk, Indian and Thompson Creeks. Dredges are permitted on a first come, first served basis, but they must be operated to maintain a position along our claims.

E-5 - Elk Creek Claims
at Sulphur Springs

E-5 ELK CREEK CLAIMS AT SULPHUR SPRINGS - can be located by driving up Elk Creek Road three miles beyond the 10-mile bridge. Follow the signs leading to Sulphur Springs-which is located at the lower end of our claims. Because Sulphur Springs is a popular area for other outdoor recreation enthusiasts, we ask you to not camp or mine in the immediate special staging vicinity. There are several access roads and camping areas further upstream. The upstream boundary is posted one mile further up the road from Sulphur Springs. The lower boundary is posted on a tree near the staging area at Sulphur Springs.

PROSPECTS: Several members have spent substantial time dredging on these claims and have been finding gold nuggets on the bedrock. The bedrock is shallow in places, and is accessible by rolling one layer of boulders back. You are looking for hard packed streambed in and around the boulders. Our first Group Dredging Project was done on this claim. You can read about it at http://www.goldgold.com/newsletter0208.htm.
