When on August 17, 1862, prospector Billy Barker struck major gold
deposits at the head of Williams Creek, he culminated probes of
others who had come to the area as early as 1859. The 50 miles
surrounding what would become Barkerville contained the greatest
and richest gold deposits in the history of British Columbia. Thus
began the "Cariboo" gold rush. The Cariboo gold region was 400
miles beyond the head of navigation on the Fraser River. It was
located northeast of Fort Hope / Yale area, which was the scene of
the "Fraser River" gold rush of a few years prior. In 1862, Francis
Jones Barnard established a one-horse pony express with himself as
sole rider, serving the Cariboo from Yale, where he met with Dietz
& Nelson Express that provided services between New Westminster and
Yale. $1 per letter carrier or delivered

handstamp ...mehr From Todd's Express Office Sonora. Blue so-called tombstone handstamp (Thomas TOE-104) on brown cover to San Francisco with manuscript "With 30 ozs Dust" and "CC" at lower left (Todd's designation for Carson Creek, the origin of this cover); slight wrinkling and staining at left, F.-V.F. Estimate; $200 - 300. Charles A. Todd purchased all the assets of Reynolds, Todd & Company and continued to operate from San Francisco and Stockton serving the southern mines. Todd made inroads along the Sacramento River to points above Sacramento, but faced tough competition from Adams & Co. in that area. At first, Todd connected with Gregory’s Express, but later shared an office in San Francisco with Wells Fargo and connected with them for services to the Eastern States. Todd sold his operation to Wells Fargo in Sep, 1853, giving them control of the routes to the southern mines, where they began to compete with Adams
