Ophir Gulch Placers | |
Mining District and MinesGreaterville Area Hughes Gulch In Hughes Gulch, which heads 2 miles west of Greaterville, just south of the Yuba mine, and extends north of Granite Mountain, a narrow channel, rarely over 6 feet wide from its head to mouth, was found productive at 2 to 6 feet below the surface2 Ophir Gulch: Ophir Gulch, which heads northeast of the Yuba mine, contains no placer deposits above its junction with Hughes Gulch. Below Greaterville, however, a channel 200 feet wide was found to contain gold as far down as the mouth of Sucker Gulch. The bedrock is rather deep here and little work has been done.2
