Gold Rush Mania Sweeps Red Lake and Mojave Desert
Widespread gold fever drives prospectors from Canada and the United States to Red Lake in Ontario and to Kramer Hills in the Mojave. Lorne Howle’s camp near Red Lake explodes with 1600 claims as tunnels and veins of gold are tested amid extreme cold, dog teams, and early air routes.
