The Maple Ridge Historical Society invited Brian Antonson to reveal the secrets of Slumach's gold for their members. His talk tonight -- witty and informative as always -- attracted a full house of listeners eager to learn more about the mysteries of the lost gold mine of Pitt Lake. The picture taken this evening shows Brian in the centre with Don Waite on his right side and Fred Braches to his left.
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.
