200 tons of gold from one mine. Good lawd. That whole area is so undeveloped and wild that there has to be more gold waiting to be found. I've hunted deer in that area my entire life and know how wild it is.

Mr.Barley must have been an awesome teacher...he has me on the edge of my seat listening

Thanks for posting > Bill Barlee the Best - Great treasure story 🌄🌅🙂

Audio on the right channel only. Doesn't detract from the enjoyment of this program, except that I spent 10 minutes checking cables and thinking my amplifier was broken!

Hmm. Maybe a hike near Steff creek is in order. I believe Jolly Jack found some riches in that hood. Maybe even the same pit? Hmm…😎

What a great guy Bill Barlee. Taught me much

Great tv series.

Great episode! I watched a documentary on the Frank slide, turtle mountain was considered by the First Nations, talking mountain and stayed away from it ! Still can’t get enough of of gold trails and ghost towns!

I was born in Bralorne and my father was a miner there!!!! He told me about the STEEL DOOR and the 2000 oz per ton!!!!

Ive been there and the road I will never forget

went to school in Beaverdell 69-71 teacher was Mrs DeYaeger, no grid power, gravel road in and out. great memories bobsleding behind my house, the road up to the mine

Apparently quite a few artifacts have been found.

Great stories back then especially about bc

the anchor of the ss alpha is at the ferry landing west side denman island ,u can still see some of Her between denman and chrome isle

I lived in a house that had the the main wood stove from the mine. It actually held about 9 1e inch trees 4 feet long. It was in the Pemberton valley. Best days of my life in 94 to 96 .❤

thanks a lot. I have some of barleys magazines and read them from time to time.

Went to a few of barley's gold panning courses in vernon in the 70;s. He was a fantastic story teller, but never taught us gold panning ha ha. Was a great historian that helped me understand the history of B.C.

Man finding these old shows on this channel was a great find. I really wish there was something like this for the States. They're probably is I just ain't found it yet. 😅

My right ear really enjoyed this video

Back in 70s we would take that cable tram over to North Bend back into the Nahatalatch River valley,some of the best steelhead fishing this side of the Thompson. Pine mushrooms was a big thing back then as well, you could make a good $ picking and selling to the buyers in North Bend . Ahhh the good old days are gone for that once peaceful Valley . 23:47

Terry Reksten’s book truly is terrific! I’m in the thick of it right now. Her publications of More English Than The English and Rattenbury are also excellent!

Wish I had known nore of the history of Ainsworth when I lived there..I remember old man Fletcher who had the JB Fletcher store,he would give out small pieces of hard candy to us youngsters then remind us to tell our parents to stop in to buy the basics like flour,sugar,sewing needles and thread,,sweet syrup(Rogers)among many other items he sold.

Whatever shithead posted this need to turn up the volume

Sucks you can't even hear it

Watching this, after having an uneasy feeling that shtf is about to happen in between Nov 2024 to Summer 2025. A grid down scenario, spawns Lawlessness in the big cities. Self sufficiency, and away from big cities.... Oh well.

He married my great great great great (? not sure about how many greats) Aunt.

Rayman 1971 I used to have a t shirt that said that. Grew up in Cranbrook, had a girlfriend in moyie

in the story that a young miner named Ed Lucas has left us, something in Kate’s generous nature inspired generosity. After he reached into his pocket to show her the cache of gold nuggets he had worked so hard to obtain, he said that with no forethought he found himself offering one of them To her her. She chose the largest. During her first year in Dawson alone, she accumulated $30,000, a small fortune then. One reason for her popularity must have been that she shared a great deal with the miners. Like them, she had known hard times, and like them, too, she loved the exhilarating mood of the Klondike. Since she arrived before the railway had a line into Dawson, she had come by boat up the five rapids. But because the river was thought to be dangerous for ladies there was a law against women taking this ride. Thus to avoid the Mounties, she dressed in boy’s clothes and jumped just as the boat pulled out, hitting the water before she was pulled aboard. Still, she found the journey, she said later, “perhaps the most exciting trip I ever made.” A tomboy as a girl, she loved driving her team of dogs over the frozen snow and in the summer months riding “wildly” on horseback out into the meadows. From her famous flame dance, it is easy to guess that there was some- thing else Kate must have shared with the miners. The elation that per- vaded the Yukon had another cause, more subtle, but still just as powerful as the desire for money. Gold is an old alchemical symbol. Perhaps because of its shine and the labor required for retrieving it, the metal is a metaphor not only for all that is superior but for the process of becoming better. Indeed, even the wish for a fortune is, on one level, the desire for a metamorphosis. Once wealthy, you believe, everything will change Your spirit finally will glitter, too. This would have been the vision Kate evoked as the drinking min- ers, tired from their work but happy to be in town, watched while she emerged from her cocoon, gauze suspended above her like wings, and cheered while they imagined divine grace had coupled with them, their spirits charged by the belief that they, too, were in the midst of transformation, their wildest dreams airborne

Talk about strange happenings in a small world… I watched this video last night after having moved to Merritt a year ago. I work landscaping and part way through this season we picked up a contract to care for the Nicola valley ranch office areas, which is old Nicola town. Today I’m weedeating around the small gift shop building when I was approached by an older couple of which the wife’s great grandfather and great uncle were pioneers of the town. Was so interesting being able to interact with a descendant of the little ghost town I’ve been drooling over the last couple months!

Imagine that fellows mules hauling him across that bridge. What history.

there's no known cure for GOLD FEVER

WOW

In 2003 a wildfire swept through the Myra-Bellevue protected area, destroying 12 of 16 wooden trestles and damaging two steel trestles. It cost $17 million to rebuild the destroyed trestles which was completed in 2008. However, the rebuilt replica trestles may look like the originals but they are not capable of handling trains.

4:17 my parents knew Bill and Lena Shaw of Shaw Springs and I remember us stopping in there when I was a kid in the 1960s.

Thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge . Is there any information about the Coal Creek area , specifically the # 9 mine up Coal Creek near Fernie ?

Love this snippet of our local history. Been there and this program answers many questions and opens many more . Thank you.

hahahaha..."a Chinese fellow came to his rescue and Beat Him Off..." hahahahahaa

Priceless. Thanks for posting.

well no one has hit it yet but people are still finding good gold there to this day

Was in Sandon last week. Very cool place to visit if you are into history. Great scenery, great history, great food (there is a food truck restaurant), and really nice people.

I have been in that valley many times we did fined some fine gold here and there we were just panning

I was in Frank in 1989 and it is unreal how big some of the rocks are and yes stopping there you get an uneasy feeling it was really something to see and I use to watch this show when it was on tv

Just remember gentlemen that the Okanogan overburden is the result of the worldwide Noah's Flood! Those two Ogden tins are chicken feed compared the Glories of Christ! He is the Motherlode! Cheers..
