The Tillamook
Indians Lost Gold Mine
Where: Oregon
Coast Range
When: 1850-1900 (Store
reports below)
Evidence/stories:
-
Gales Creek traders would
get payment in gold nuggets from local Indians.
-
A store east of Forest Grove
owned by Colonel T.H. Cornelius would receive payment in practically pure
gold for credit given to the Indians. The Indians would disappear into the
hills for a few days than reappear to pay their account.
-
The settlers would try to
follow the Indians into the hills but the Indians would loose the settlers
west of Gales Creek.
-
A white prospector was able
to surprise an Indian and his son carrying a heavy load of gold dust from
the mine. The prospector murdered the Indian and his son. Another Indian who
worked in the mine was murdered in a Saloon brawl this lead to the thinking
that the mine was cursed by evil spirits this left the Indians with a fear
of the mine.
-
An old Indian woman was ill
and being cared for by a white lady when she revealed that it was the ill
woman’s husband and son who had been killed by the prospector. The Indian
woman was poor and wanted to pay the nurse, so she wrote the directions down
and asked her nephew to go to the mine and bring back some gold to pay the
nurse. The old lady’s nephew did not go to the mine.

Along a creek on the West
Tualatin Plains, Indians would camp on Sol Emerick's 160 acre farm. Sol was
able to obtain some of the big nuggets and had them made into rings for his
wife and himself. One day one of Emerick's old friends was dying and she
gave Emerick directions: “Where water runs into a lake in a black canyon,
you will find it.”
