APPENDIX A
CLAIMANTS ON COAL CREEK AND WOODCHOPPER CREEK, 1900-1951

WHO FILED CLAIMS?

Where an individual's name appears as initials, an abbreviation, and a full given name, each occurance has been listed. In a number of cases, the spelling could not be determined based on the handwritten original entries. In these cases, the names appear as variants (i.e., Adamik and Adamvik).

Alluvial Golds, Inc. is the only company name listed as the claimant in the Location Notices books although Gold Placers, Inc. predated Alluvial Golds, Inc., no claims were located under this name.
