Caption: (1), (2), and (4) Hydraulicking at Lovett Gulch - The First hydraulic mine upstream from the mouth of Bonanza Creek and the only one on the left bank of that creek. Ernest Schink owned a small (undersized) claim on Lovett Gulch and gave the "Guggies" what was called a "lay" on it. They hydraulicked the claim along with their contiguous operations and gave him a settlement based on relative cubic yardage of gravel mined on their property and his.
