Ever since October Rob Nicholson is producing new issues of his fascinating B.C. Prospector Magazine. The December issue (No. 3) is just out and it is as an interesting read as the previous issues. I have found a place for his publications in the right-hand column of this blog. Just click on the issues to download. Issue No. 1 is free and the following issues are just US$3.25 a copy!

On my wish list for quite some time was the August 1973 issue of Saga Magazine, True Adventures for Men. Recently I did get hold of a copy of this manly magazine. Here is the cover and I thought you'd like to see the back page as well. The Slumach article, written by a Robert A. Davidson (about whom I know nothing yet) is posted on the Slumach Web site. Click here.

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?

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.
