English: Man panning for gold at Blewett Pass, Washington, ca. 1919 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Around 1860, gold was discovered on Ingalls Creek, near Blewett Pass in Washington's Wenatchee Mountains. This started a gold rush to the area. Over the next fifty years, Blewett district mines produced about $1.7 million of gold. Even years later, people continued to try their luck in the area.
This photo shows a man panning for gold in a stream near Blewett Pass, Washington in about 1919. Some prospectors pan for gold first, to help them decide where to dig. Other miners may just pan for the gold which has been washed out into streams.
