| The mining in the areas covered in this volume-the East Central Cascade Mountains and the Wenatchee Mountains-played out much more successfully than their western counterparts and until fairly recently even saw commercial mining on a huge scale. And yes, for each of those big strikes there are hundreds of smaller mines, everything from little glory holes to small working mines that actually showed their owners a profit. Plus, the mining activity in these areas predates the mining farther west.
