Centennial notes recount Graettinger Iowa becoming The Gold Mine City after a May 21 1921 gold discovery. The Thomas J Dee Co confirmed $26.92 per ton sand from the Bernard Smith farm, sparking field sampling by landowners along Jack Creek and Dea Molinos valley, tailed by telegrams and national attention before the fever faded by year end. A 1923 gold club formed to hire a miner, who found little gold, while 19 gold machines later teased more promise on the A G Horke farm southeast of Graettinger.
