Jack Mould and the Curse of Gold
The story of the author's search for a hidden treasure of gold, and the legendary curse that surrounds it. Moments before he was hanged for murder, Slumach placed a curse on his gold mine. An estimated fifty-five people have disappeared trying to find his legendary mine. The lure of the lost mine has drawn Jack Mould to the mountains. He has lived his life as a rouge. From prison and divorce to love and high adventure, it is not surprising that he is so closely tied to the infamous lost gold mine - holding riches beyond anyone's dreams, yet offering death to anyone who attempt to retrieve it. This is the tale of one man's search and discovery of one of BC's most infamous mysteries, Clumach's Lost Creek gold mine.
