Retired miner catalogues the past
Donald Parrott a longtime Red Lake resident and former miner has published a 150 page book The Second Gold Rush to Red Lake dedicated to George Whitney Campbell who discovered the Campbell Red Lake Mine. The Red Lake district produced millions in dividends and hosted a boom era with 3000 people staking 1200 claims and a busy air traffic route from Hudson to Red Lake. Gene Campbell widow now lives at Hell's Acres with a large salt and pepper shaker collection and preserves her husband’s legacy while selling Avon.
