Note on early French name for the Bridge River
[edit]The article as I've written it so far mentions the Rivière du Font origin of the "Lower Fountains" context of the Bridge River Rapids (aka the Six Mile Rapids, as the are six miles from the "Mile 0" post on Lillooet's Main Street. I've often pondered whether this was not a half-error based on a faulty transcription of Rivière du Pont from the original Simon Fraser expedition journals but have yet to see that form on a map or in a journal; if it ever was the case the widespread use of "the Fountains" (Upper and Lower Fountains, that is) lends itself to the du Font account. Frontier diarists made valient attempts to transcribe the St'at'imcets name for the Bridge River, though - Nxo'isten, Hoystein, and a few other variations close enough to Xwisten to pass, given the lack of phonetic-transcription sciences in those days.Skookum1 18:21, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Maps Maps Maps
[edit]A map would be really good with this page... sfs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.76.183 (talk) 02:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

resources for mining history
[edit]Other than Lewis Green's excellent book The Great Years: Gold Mining in the Bridge River Valley, a starting point for work on Bridge River goldfields (Bridge River Mining Camp is a possibility; Bridge River Gold Rush would refer to early periods only, and there's more than one) is here on MINFILE.Skookum1 (talk) 02:35, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
