Local Gold Rush Of 1921 Sparks Graettinger Fever
Don Buchan chronicles Graettinger’s 1921 gold fever sparked by sand tests near the Bernard Smith farm. Analyses from Drake University and a Chicago firm showed trace gold and silver, with a 40 mesh reveal indicating free gold worth about 2.20 dollars per ton. Despite promising findings and a planned trial mining machine, the deposit proved too diffuse for profitable extraction, though the legend persists and a future discovery remains possible.
