Excerpt from page 65 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: At Fall Creek, a small tributary of Monashee Creek we followed the trail up the creek we reached a flume used for recovering gold from the gravel of the creek banks. A "riffle" made of small poles is placed in the bottom of the flume to catch the gold and, after the water has been turned in at the upper end, the gravel is shovelled into the flume.
