Stewart Spring
One South
It's a dream many men have...
To go out into your backyard and pan at the shores of the river, starting out the day with an easy pocket full of gold. The dream of fortune sitting just a few feet from your home waiting to be collected is an opportunity not many men have...
But this claim might be "the one" for those dreamy men! A California 20-acre mountain gold placer that's as close to your backyard as you could possibly ask; nestled in-between the pines but mere miles from the town of Weed and Mt. Shasta, California, the Stewart Spring property takes gold from Park's Creek as it snakes its way downtown. Surrounded by campgrounds and mountain lakes, Steward Spring is as much a vacation spot as it is good gold-hunting ground!
With gold-laced quartz stones falling off China Mountain and into Park's Creek, the opportunity to find new gold comes back every year. Further, the property is strewn with quartz-laden boulders, ready to be cracked open like a golden egg.
Park's Creek water flow is said to stay strong year-round, and finding itself next to well-maintained, paved mountain roads, access and mining potential for this claim may well be year-round!
Stewart Spring One South Ore Body
The Klamath Mountains are as rich with gold as much as the Sierra Nevadas are. Particularly around China Mountain, gold, silver, and copper can be found in the ultramafic peridotites that have been strung up with quartz. Within those quartz veins is gold, and many other unique treasures to boot around China Mountain: tricky, golden chalcopyrite formations to remind you the real gold is just another pan away; treasured, light-blue chalcanthite crystals forming in the prospect holes and adits you dig; and if you're lucky, shiny black pearls of chromite too.
Only a section of the claim touches the river for panning and water access, but plenty more of the property lies over the China Mountain, in a place left untouched by any spade or dozer. An uncut mountain is an unexplored mountain, and most of the the Eastern side of China Mountain has been ignored by the public - until recently. Seemingly next door to the property, the railroad companies of old found this spot to be very interesting.
Time and weather have taken their toll on the land since then, and maybe nature has revealed more of what precious material those railroad hounds were looking for? Only a keen eye can tell...
Here are some other features of the "Stewart Spring One South" claim at a glance:
- The trinity of treasure - Gold, silver, and copper flows off of China Mountain and flows into the many tributaries that flow off it - including the easy to reach Park's Creek!
- Ease of access - The paved road ends less than 1/5 of a mile from the primary features of this claim. The final stretch of dirt road is easy to navigate; no 4x4 required!
- Close to town - Only eight miles from the town of Weed, this claim is practically like panning in your backyard! With camping and fishing available at nearby campgrounds and lakes, it's a dream!
- Highly mineralized area - Large boulders containing the mountain's treasures lie scattered on and about the property and give a window into what lies inside the local river.
- Little to no development - Claimed but unworked, these lands have been preserved by mother nature for years.
- Year-round potential - Locals say this spring often flows all year -- if the winter is dry, you could work this all year!
