Northland Notes on Saginaw Creek Gold and Local Mills
Quartz finds on Saginaw creek between Battle and French prompt interest. A new eighteen dollar per ounce gold dust currency aids Central City trade. Locking up the Cunningham and Dorrington road causes teamster contention. A new ten stamp mill building completes with Yankton machinery due soon. Bogle's mill runs well under Captain J M West. Ratler Lode ore testing near Lead City exceeds regional quartz quality. Deadwood claims Number 1, 7, 8 pay well and 9 changes hands to Seeland, Tabbets, Watts as owners rework gravel for wages and spring sluicing.
