Geocache Description:


·       In November of 1889  a farmer named William Moor made a gold discovery while prospecting atop a mountain ridge above Lake Ickta (now Havilah Lake).
 
·       The lot on which Moor made the original gold discovery may have belonged to his neighbour, Alexander Murray. Moor’s gold find resulted in a land ownership dispute that lasted until 1892 when American investors organized the Ophir Gold Mining Company and settled the dispute by purchasing the land.
