When we first acquired the mine on quarts creek the previous operator gave us a tour of the the mine. He pointed out places that had been worked, placed he thought there was gold and this spot.  We all stopped here and just took in the very amazing spot, while we were looking around the operator tells us that this was his lunch spot.  He and his dog would have lunch here whenever he was working the mine.  “The spot just helped me relax,” he said.  Then he says, “you see that pile of rocks there.”  He pauses for a second and then finishes his sentence with,”That is where I put my dog, under those rocks.”  We just left the pile of rocks and the dog, right where it was, and we now call this spot”Dead Dog Point.”
