A Canadian Legend
Flat prairies give way to rolling foothills with mysterious
mountains looming up. White capped and
covered in hazy blue, the mountains hide secrets that are tangible in the
air. Canada is considered to be a new,
vibrant country, but there are many unexplained complexities in those shadowy
mountains especially. Searching for gold has always created men and women who
lose sight of right and wrong. The obsession of gold brings out the best and
worst in many.
The Canadian Blue Rockies have gold, hidden and often
difficult to find. Much of the gold
hasn’t been discovered even today. Somewhere in the Canadian Rockies, in or
around Crowsnest Pass in Southern Alberta there is rumored to be more gold than
was found in the Klondike of the Yukon.
Two men, Blackjack and Jack Lemon, found gold and decided to
go register their claim before someone else found it. Jack was struck with gold-fever and didn’t
want to share. In a fit of greed, Jack
killed his partner, splitting him open with his ax.
Two Indian braves, from the Blackfoot tribe of Southern
Alberta, witnessed the gruesome killing. They rushed back to tell their
chief. The Chief placed a curse on the
gold. ‘Whoever touches the gold will suffer dire consequences’.
Jack Lemon became crazy, wandering around the foothills,
searching for the mine. Others searched and fought to gain possession of Jack’s
map. They too were found dead, burned to death or driven mad. To this day, no
one has found that gold in the Lost Lemon Mine and lived to tell the story.
