          2000.23.1.077 · File · 1978-1989
          Part of Audrey Smedley L'Heureux fonds

          File consists of research material relating to the Omineca Gold Rush which was a gold rush in British Columbia in the Omineca region of the Northern Interior of the province. Gold was first discovered there in 1861, but the rush didn't begin until late in 1869 with the discovery at Vital Creek. There were several routes to the goldfields: two were from Fort St. James, one of which was a water route through the Stuart and Tachie Rivers to Trembleur Lake to Takla Lake and the other was overland, called the Baldy Mountain route. A third route came in overland from Hazelton on the Skeena River and a fourth route used the Fraser River and crossed over the Giscome Portage to Summit Lake, through McLeod Lake, and up the Finlay River to the Omineca River. Materials include one large photograph from the BC Provincial Archives of Machanry of the SS Enterprise at Tremblay Lake in June 7th, 1913. Other materials include newspaper clippings and two photographic negatives of the machinery of the SS Enterprise.
