That is what some of the old timers said also... a post script to the article.. "Later, at a time when Jack Harryman was U.S. Ranger at Unity, we discussed the possible location of the mine. Using the story told me by the old emigrant, plus other known facts, together with our intimate knowledge of the country, we diecided that the famous old Blue Bucket mine must have been either Jeff Davis Creek at Prairie City or Canyon Creek at Canyon City. Both streams were known by the nuggets found in them by early prospectors in this area"...irma [email protected]
