In the bend of Rich Gulch near its junction with Ash Hollow five miners worked the winter of 1849-50, with the use of a log hollowed out to make a rocker. The rich pocket yielded five pounds of gold per day. The gulches in this district proved to great account. News of the strikes led to the rush in 1850 that brought a thousand goldminers to the Trinity River country. Miners founded the town of Weaverville by July, 1850
