Description : Caption on back of card reads: 'the lower town of Wells, built on old tailings from Lowhee Gulch. Below the arrow on the Point Bench they discovered a rich dig (missed for years) where we found $5.00 nuggets = to $60.00 at 1998 Can. Price. D. Bellinger.' View of Wells townsite from just above and north east of the hospital. The large house in the middle foreground was said by Louise Gilbert to have been built by Hub King (barrister). The hillside was completely forested according to Louise as her family harvested trees from there to heat their home. Note that the Wells Apartments - or, the married quarters have flat roofs and that the one (in 1998) facing the Lowhee is not present.
