Letter Warns Against Rainy Lake Gold Boom Venture
Hugh Steele reports from Rainy Lake country in March 1894 that mining is virtually inactive, towns are poorly supported, and many settlers are being swindled by townsite promoters. He notes a few dubious prospects with small quartz yields, a planned bank building, and a nonfunctional stamp mill, advising readers to avoid spending money there. He concludes that timber is scarce, farming on Rainy River exists, and urges caution to would‑be investors.
