Chipmunk Tunnel
My memory of the exact location of the Chipmunk Tunnel is rather vague, for I was quite young around 1902, when a man by the name of Swift from, I believe, San Francisco, California, was prospecting for gold along Camp Creek.
Swift dug a tunnel in a hillside near the left fork of Camp Creek.
I was at the tunnel around forty years ago with my father looking for cattle, but I have forgotten the exact spot.
C.F. Moore told me several years ago that it was on a hill side in the brush near the right hand gulch branching off the left fork of Camp Creek, or at least that is the way I remember the way Moore told me.
I remember the old timers telling me, and hearing people talk about, Swift finding gold colors there in his tunnel and along the left fork of Camp Creek.
Probably there is not any one around any more who remembers where it is, and very few at this time ever heard of it.
How it got the name "Chipmunk Tunnel", I don't remember.
