Chief Isaac's Mining
Claims
Between 1904 and 1919 Chief Isaac staked four placer mines. He may have
filed these claims to protect his cabin and subsistence sites. These
claims were located on Moosehide Creek near Moosehide Village, on Cary
Creek (just below the mouth of the Fortymile River), on the South Fork
of the Sixtymile, and on Pine Creek which flows into the Sixtymile.
