Hi Lawrence, My only knowledge of Lightning Creek is via my Dad, who spent time at Wingdam while his parents cooked for the miners. The mine at Wingdam was dug under Lightning Creek, which worked well till the day the creek came crashing down into the mine. Dad says the miners in there at the time came running out to safety, but that ended the mining there at that time.
