- Gold discovered in a creek here in 1897, and the world and his wife came to get a piece of the action.
- Still mining here today. Town preserved in traditional architectural style.
- Interview 90 year old miner and town historian, John, and his wife, Madeleine, having tracked them down in the phonebook and knocked on their door.
- Am becoming a TV researcher of the scary-stalker variety.
- Great interview, great folk.
