MngerLiddrfto Offer available at participating Kentucky tui Chicken restaurants, Horsefly museum recognizes community's gold-mine past By HARRIETTE KRICKSON HORSEFLY The Jack Lynn Memorial Museum in Horsefly opened for the season on June 25. The museum celebrates the mining origins of the town. The first gold strike in the Cariboo was at the Horsefly River in 1859. Many miners moved through the area on their way north during the subsequent years but some chose to remain and continue to work the Horsefly River. Thaddeus Harper came into the area in 1884 and obtained sizeable leases on which to mine.

In 1887, he started the first hydraulic mine and began a second gold rush in Horsefly. Other mines were pushed into production and much gold was mined between 1892 and 1902. Hard times followed the closing of the mine but many of the early pioneers stayed on to ranch, trap and build roads. Three students will be employed at the museum this summer, sppnsored by the Young Canada Works program. In addition to acting as guides, the girls will continue the work on transcripts of an interesting oral history collection and catalogue an extensive photograph collection.

The Horsefly Historical Society welcomes you at the Jack Lynn Memorial Museum, which will be open from Tuesdays to Sundays, between 1 1 a.m. and 4 p.m..
