Gold mines have often been closed down and then re-opened after a couple of decades. But McFarlane had noticed that some mines that had been closed for 20 or 30 years held “blossom rock” on outcrops or ledges, sitting right out there in plain sight, and that some of that rock held small amounts of gold. McFarlane was in the gold-mining business all his life and knew his stuff. He was also a solid citizen credited with saving the Central City opera house and designing a top-notch gold stamp mill among other accomplishments. [High Country News by Forrest Whitman]. "Grown Gold" by Peter McFarlane. 48 pages. "Many disastrous mining ventures have been launched that might have been avoided." ""Its author had no further purpose in its publication than to impress the miner with the need of greater preliminary care in the method followed in sampling a mine."
