Gunnar's Mine
Gunnar's Mine opens in a
newly-discovered mining region in southwestern Colorado,
near Telluride. Jethro Spring is befriended by a forlorn and aloof hermit, a little
Swedish emigrant, who has an isolated claim in the
district. Gradually the younger man understand that his benefactor's claim may be key
to development of the district by a ruthless international mining octopus. By then
Jethro Spring is committed by his admiration and
love for his innocent and near-helpless friend. Despite being joined by a fiery and
violent former Mexican army officer, it's a
perilous contest -- even more unequal than the one Jethro faced during New Mexico's
recent "Lincoln County War." There's a lot going
on inside and out at

placer panning to bitter hardrock mining. So it was with Gunnar Einarssen and
his Nordic Summer dream.
