“Lost Creek Mine”
May Have Claimed
One More Victim
■* $
NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C.,
(jP)—Legend has it that 20 men
have died hunting for a fabulous
“Lost Creek Mine” in the moun
tain wilderness 45 miles north of
here.
Was Alfred Gaspard the 21st?
R.C.M.P. Constable John Dow
sett and guide Stan Zepeski set
out Wednesday to find out.
This much was known: Gas
pa rd, 60 - year - old prospector,
packed his gear 15 months ago
and headed for the upper reaches
of the Pitt River. He has not been
seen or heard from since.
Gaspard himself had a premon
ition that he would become a part
of the fateful legend. He left a
note saying: “By the time you
read this I will have passed to
the great beyond.”
That note, left with friends,
was opened in February.
Dowsett and a guide made an
aerial survey of the area but the
snow had wiped out any clues
Gaspard might have left.
The deep snow finally left the
mountains in June but heavy fol
iage covered the trail.
The leaves have fallen now and
in wet, overcast weather, Dow
sett and Zepeski started out by
boat. When they reach the head
of Pitt Lake they will strike into
the mountains on foot. They ex
pect to be gone two weeks.
The legend of Lost Creek Mine
goes back more than 60 years.
The gist of it is that an Indian
named Slumach appeared in New
Westminster with a hefty poke of
gold. He made several trips back
; into the bush, returning each time
I with a sackful of yellow dust.
He was hanged in 1892 after
confessing he had murdered eight
women. His secret died with him.
On each trip to the mine, he had
taken an Indian woman. None
returned.
I
Since then, according to the
legend, 20 men have died in the
search for the lode. One old pros
pector stumbled out of the moun
tain country with a poke of $10,
000 but died insane.
