Riders To Folax<—

Steps of Miners
In August Trip

VICTORIA — The Cariboo
Trail Riders Club, and anyone
else interested, will ride 100
miles this August along the 100-
year-old route gold prospectors
took from the Fraser River to
storied Barkerville.

The ride starts Augnst 9 near
Quesnel, where Indians 100
Years ago disclosed to prosper-
tors that there was gold in the
waters to the east of the Fraser

- and the great Cariboo
stampede was on.

It ends August 13 at Barker-
ville, all but a ghost town now,
where the ancient, sagging
cabins speak of a heyday of gold,
saloons, dance-hall girls, gamb~
ling men and the thud of picks
in the hands of men with a
dream of riches.

Seventy-five percent of the
Centennial trail ride will be
through virgin country; along
the atitient French Road, for a
start, off which somewhere lies
a lost mine. The Lost Dragon
Mine, reputedly richer than any-
thing so far discovered. in
Cariboo, has been a legend for
a century. :

Beaver Creek, whose gravels
have been worked_and_re-
worked by Chinese and white
miners, is on the way, Then
comes the ride up the Hydraulic
Road, overgrown now with pine,
spruce and balsam, where on
every hand lies history told by
old moss-covered cabins, rotted
sluice boxes, rusky picks and

the

shovels.
Riders will go to Keithley
Creek and from there to the

ghost town of Antler, where the
gravels were rich and .“ Fancy

miners with three-card monte
games.

Race Track Creek is one of
the last stops along the way,
where Governor Douglas and
others often watched horses from
France, Ireland, England and
the United States race for purses
of gold nuggets worth $25,000.
