CARONI GOLD; Venesuela's River of Wealth

The author of Devil Mountain (Hastings House, P. 529, 1/1/43 bulletin) tells of more adventure in Venesuela, again hunting gold, finding it, and diamonds too. In narrative form, this is the story of a ""South American Klondike"", where prospecting is dependent on the good will of helpers, natives of the villages, and outwitting any competitor, where fever, a river's eccentricities, primitive ways and strange tropical happenings make for excitement and thrills. Fair game for the willing.
