Meadow Lake

From: "Jim Kluksdahl" jkluksdahl@earthlink.net

I'm searching for photos of Meadow Lake in your excellent archive.  Can you give me a link please?  

It's north of CISCO.

    I am also doing some research on meadow lake, the only good thing that I have found is a book by Paul Fatout, called Meadow Lake Mining District. Do you have any material to pass on?

    [Above] is a ... scan of the Houseworth CPRR #1288. You do not appear to have this one, so I am forwarding a scan of the one I recently acquired.

  4. Dana Scanlon has devoted a great deal of energy and time, as well as treasure, gathering photos of Meadow Lake. You would be well served to chat with him. g j graves
