Company property comprised 34 placer mining leases, aggregating over 2,500 acres, for a distance of about 10 miles of auriferous (gold-bearing) gravel deposits along an ancient river channel. Consolidated Cariboo’s water supply system used canals constructed from water sources at Bootjack Lake, Polley’s Lake, and Moosehead Lake, at distances from 10 to 19 miles from their mines at Bullion.
