Preference Given In Mineral Claim At Gold Creek
United States land Office in Helena grants priority to Carl Bergstrand's Elkhorn placer claim over Carl Schreiber's homestead entry near Pioneer on Gold Creek. The decision cites Bergstrand's 1893 location and continuous possession in a historic placer district. Schreiber's claim is canceled for conflicting with a valid mining location. The site recalls Granville Stuart's 1861 Montana gold discovery and held a Deer Lodge hearing on October 19.
