Jack Mould and Spanish Gold | 9

Passed down to a young Jack Mould by his father Charlie, were tales of Spanish explorers mining for gold in the mountains high above the icy waters of Bute Inlet. For decades father and son searched Bute Inlet and the surrounding wilderness for lost gold mines.  Over time, his search for Spanish gold entwined with a search for Slumach’s motherlode, and a fear of curses wouldn’t keep him away. One day Jack disappeared. Authorities searching for him found his vehicle, a gun resting against it, two empty water bottles, his dog nearby, and a pair of boots down river. But no sign of Jack Mould.

In 1931 On a night cold enough to freeze your bones, a larger than life prospector, in search of a legendary lost gold mine in the wilderness of British Columbia, disappears without a trace. Known for his solid gold teeth and team of black stallions, he was a force of nature. So was he murdered? Did he fake his own death? Or was he the latest victim of a curse? 40 years earlier Slumach was accused of murder and from the gallows it is said that set a curse on anyone who searched for his hidden gold mine just before he was hanged. Since then many have sought his fortune and have met their demise.
