Gold fever is spreading into Minnesota after a rich Canadian gold deposit was recently discovered about 200 miles from Minnesota’s northeastern tip. State officials say parts of northern Minnesota are geologically similar enough to the Canadian gold strike area to start a wave of prospecting. The spirit of small-town America was present in Two Harbors yesterday during the season’s final concert of the Two Harbors City Band. The outdoor concert in Thomas Owens Park was dedicated to Paul Gauche, who led the band for 35 years.
