Romance once held high carnival in the land and the electric news of gold discoveries in California drew thousands around the Horn or across Panama to the Pacific and thence to the diggings. As a pic ture of this feverish time when men dared all to win or lose a fortune, "GOLD" will remain unforget table, the very restraint of its realism giving au in delible quality to the exciting and many colored life of the mining camp.
