There is gold in the Cypress Hills Just south of there.

ags.gov.ab.ca

That will be $100.00, (One fifth of a ounce 4 nines) a chicken steak dinner (I don't eat beef), wheat toast, a carafe of beaujolais and free internet for one week.

Plus a carton of Bazooka Joe bubble gum.

"The whole of the country which I have travelled from the Columbia to the westward is auriferous; there was hardly a creek of any importance in which more or less gold cannot be washed. This has rendered the prices for all articles of clothing, food &c. enormous, [...] Articles of clothing and food are the only pay with which you can engage Indians for a journey. Money cannot circulate in the country owing in a great measure to the absence of coin."

(Palliser 1860, 16)
