"The only significant gold rush to take place in Washington State occurred when gold was found in Swauk Creek in the central part of the state in 1873. Although prior reports of gold in the region existed as early as 1860, it was the rich deposits of gold on Swauk Creek that caused interest in gold mining in Central Washington. The first prospectors to rush into the area were the local farmers of nearby Kittitas Valley, but as word of the discovery spread, people from all around the surrounding area came to the area to search for gold. Miners continued searching for gold deposits in the nearby area, and soon found that Williams Creek also held rich gravels that produced significant amounts of gold. Rich pockets of gold were found up and down both drainages, and mining camps in the early days of the discovery were routinely moved to accommodate miners. Named for one of the early miners to the area, the mining town of Meagherville was established at Williams Creek. Extensive explorations into the surrounding mountains did not yield overwhelming results for prospectors seeking new gold deposits. Unlike many of the larger gold districts across the west, it was quickly realized that although there was gold to be found throughout the Cascade Mountains, by far the richest gold deposits were in Swauk and Williams Creeks, with lesser discoveries found at Boulder, Negro, and Baker Creeks." from wikipedia 1) Favorite Gold & Silver Mining #357 i/u to BE Smith 1903 2)American Goldfields #89 i/u to HE Fink 1908 3) Black Rock Mining #115 i/u to Ida Christie 1896 4)Columbia River Gold Mining #1190 i/u to E Fink 1902 5)Copper Bell Gold Mining u/i 6)Ethel Consolidated Mines #2674 i/u to ?E Freund 1903 7) First Thought Gold Mines #15 i/u to William Kobe 1924 8)Lone Prize Suprise u/i 9) National Gold Corp. #462 i/u to Edgar Smiley 1928 10)Pearl Consolidated Mining u/i 11) Pyragyrite Mining #776 to George Shaw 1914 12)Western Mining and Power #1937 i/u to JE Huking 13) Young America and Cliff Consolidated Mining i/u to L Morgan (Al Adams Gold Rush Memorabilia Collection) HWAC# 58918 Date: Location: Washington
