Skull Found Near Ruby Creek Prospect Hole in Rocky Mountain Dig Site
W H Rideout reports Geo Benton, a renowned prospector, found a bleached skull near an old prospect hole at the head of Ruby Creek’s west fork in the Big Hole basin. A single bone, ore, a six to teeth skull, a rotted pick stamped Beile Bros, and a possible fatal blow point to a death in a long-ago dispute between two men. The scene suggests two prospectors quarrelled, one killed the other, and fled, leaving ore and tools behind in a remote spot unknown to settlers.
