Silver belt. Topilin V.S.

Golden fever at the turn of the century, overwhelming Eastern Siberia and prolonged hundreds and thousands of people - geologists, Cossacks, peasants, foresters - continues to collect bloody harvest. Each new season opens fresh gold mines, where luck hunters rush, often - for their destruction and very rarely - for happiness. So in the summer of 1904, when the news spread to the next find of the scattering gold - in the Olkhov tract at the Key, the Silver Belt, a dispute arose between the prospectors: who is the first to get the treasured, damned metal? And, as always, people, leaving for the taiga, forgot who is actually the master here.
