Don Waite found this story in the Lethbridge Herald of 26 February 1950. Click on the image to enlarge. Duncan E. McFadden was the gentleman to whom we owe (through Don) a transcript of the court records of the preliminary hearings of the Slumach case on 3 November 1890. The originals seem to be in Ottawa. Click here for more about that.
Nature does not need a ghost to guard a mine.
In 1891,in New Westminster BC, an elderly Native man was hanged for murder. Today, legends of epic proportions link him with rich gold findings in the mountains around Pitt Lake and multiple killings. What do we really know about this man and where did the legends come from?
Award Winning Web site
The Slumach site received the Web site Award for 2008 from the British Columbia Historical Federation and David Mattison
Memorable quotations
A gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar on top.
Gold makes a fool of us all the time. Nature does not need a ghost to guard a mine.
Gold is where you find it.
