Book excerpt: Round Mountain was little more than a speck of a town about sixty miles outside of Tonopah, Nevada, when Cal Owens first visited the property in the late 1960s. People had been trying to get gold out of Round Mountain since the early 1900s. Back in the early prospector days you simply pulled out your pick and shovel to dig up a little dirt and then found a bit of water for your pan as you teased those precious gold flakes and nuggets out. The early miners were able to get to the ore at and near the surface. People and companies continued to come and go through the 1950s; they extracted gold, but encountered more problems than their efforts were worth. So what made Cal Owens, an airline flight engineer, and Elwood Dietrich, a mining promoter, think they could successfully mine this property when so many before had given up? The interest was there, the determination was there, a few investors were there, the work ethic was there, and even the gold was there. All that remained was getting the gold out of the ground. Ordrich Gold Reserves Corporation (Ordrich) was born as the group of investors grew larger. Buying the property was one thing, but what to do next? With Elwood Dietrich recovering from a stroke in Arizona, Cal Owens had no other choice than to figure it out as he talked to as many people as possible and learned as much as he could each step of the way. He had the ability to ask questions and listen to experts, a trait that goes a long way in this world. Holding down a full time job and raising four children with his wife Viki did not consume all twenty-four hours in a day, so he thought he still had time to find a way to get the gold out of Round Mountain. How hard could it be? You simply had to get that pretty yellow "stuff" out of the ground and then mill the gold and refine it into gold bars. Cal quickly learned just how difficult it could be. Mining precious ore took knowledge, expertise, deep pockets, and a willingness to dig into those pockets. The Ordrich partners could have lost their investment time and time again if it were not for the tenacity and stubbornness of Cal Owens.

Without a plan for the first time in her life, Mia moves back home with her dad. After being rejected by the handsome local jewelry store owner who seems way too familiar, she takes a barista job while she determines her next steps. Orphaned at a young age, Ross Manasse finally finds peace when he inherits his grandfather’s jewelry store. It’s been a tough road, and Ross is looking for quietness and stability. When his former high school tutor—someone Ross once thought of as a friend—barges into his shop looking for a job and doesn’t recognize him, his safest option is keeping her at arm’s length. Mia’s determined to make something in her life work, but in rekindling a relationship with the grumpy jeweler, she digs up more about their shared history than they expect.

Book excerpt: No event in our history is more legendary than the Yukon Gold Rush of 1896. On August 16, when rich gold deposits were discovered in Bonanza Creek, 100,000 prospectors set off for the newly created Dawson City in search of instant wealth. Hungry miners hoped for the one big strike; others, for prosperity in this instant boom town; some, for the adventure of a lifetime. Charlotte Gray, one of our best writers of non-fiction, tells the story of the Gold Rush through the intimate lives of six extraordinary people: the saintly priest Father Judge; the feisty entrepreneur Belinda Mulrooney; the struggling writer Jack London; the imperious British journalist Flora Shaw; the legendary Sam Steele of the Mounties; and the prospector William Haskell. Brilliantly interweaving their stories, Gray creates a fascinating panorama of a frontier town where desperados, saloon keepers, gamblers, dance hall girls, churchmen and law-makers were thrown together in a volatile time. Beautifully illustrated with period photographs and documents of the Gold Rush, Gold Diggers is a colourful and entertaining journey into a world gone mad for gold.
