K-12 UPPER SEIAD CLAIMS

LOCATION

RIVER:Klamath River

COUNTY:Siskiyou County

STATE:California

Are located 1.2 miles up river from where Hwy. 96 crosses Seiad Creek. The Hwy. 96 bridge crosses the Klamath River on this claim, approximately 100 yards up river from the lower boundary. Approximately 3/10 of a mile up river on Hwy. 96 from the Klamath River bridge, you will see a river access road extending off towards the river. There is a sign posted there. That toad will lead you to a gravel bar, river access location. The upper boundary sign is located just upriver from the river access. There is some private property between the river access and Hwy. 96, and the owners are very fond of their privacy. There has also been some equipment stolen from this location so be sure to protect your equipment.

PROSPECTS

This claim has gone, for the most part, untested. However, the prospects look promising because rich gold deposits have been dredged from the river during recent years from the claims located just up and down river. I dredge behind the old bridge metal piece that can be seen from the bank and did not have very good results. Gravel was deep and never hit bedrock. Gold was very fine.
