Chatham Reach -- Lower Pitt River

Thanks to Sheryl MacKay, host of CBC's North by Northwest I could at last find that elusive song about Slumach's mysterious gold. The song is called Chatham Reach and it is on Tiller's Folly's latest  CD "Stirring Up Ghosts."  Click CBC Radio 3Go and in the right-hand colums MUSIC  you'll find the song. Thanks also to Ron Sutherland who took the trouble to tell  me that the song was played on North by Northwest a few weeks ago.

On March 5th Dean Russell let us know that he'd been in contact with Rob and now the man himself sent me an e-mail telling me that he is "not feeling well at all and is misssing the "energy to do much right now" but that he hopes "to make a comeback soon." 

Brian Antonson in Maple Ridge

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.

Gun for Hire - Waite Gold Escorts Inc.

Donald E. Waite has taken up a new career. He figures that at today's gold prices (heading for $1200 US) anyone finding the gold will need protection. We've heard of at least three expeditions heading in next summer so he might be right...it will be found!

Videos Galore!

"Keep in mind I am a amateur film maker this was my first video ever," writes gold hunter and adventurer Daryl Friesen inviting to watch his videos on YouTube. Looking at these videos and those of Evan H's I am always glad that it is not me who has to crawl into black holes, get wet and cold and out of breath climbing yonder hills, and stumble around in wilderness around us to find my treasures. Libraries, archives and the Internet are more my hunting grounds. Please do go and have a look.
