Looking for a Chetco River Claimholder

HI,
I am interested in talking to someone that has a decent gold claim in the Chetco River area. I have an editor from the Pilot interested in going prospecting. I no longer have a claim so I am looking for someone that will let us onto their claim for a day or so. I would love to have the man find some gold, enough to get him very interested in prospecting. I would not allow him to put down the location of the claim, too many people out there that might not like the idea of dredging. If you have a claim in this general area, I would appreciate a note back and thank you for your help.
If you have not seen it, there is an article in the Oregonian about blocking dredging and all new claims on the Chetco. I will be sending a letter to them and hope to see it published. Most of those people have never seen our river, let alone ran a dredge. They are probably afraid of the bears and snakes and lizards out here in the wilds.
Anyway, I am looking for a claim to use for a short time. We have a 4 inch dredge and a 2 1/2 inch high banker dredge. I would prefer an area that is accessible without needing a 4 wheel drive. (We do have a 4 wheel drive, but want the editor to realize that gold is within reach of many people.)
Thank you to everyone,
Dianna Blazo
