Ferguson Leads Prospecting Rush on Dolan Creek Site
A. B. Ferguson, dubbed the Lone Pine of Democracy, returns to Dolan Creek with the Ruby Creek association crew after reporting a promising gold pay. A bedrock groove to bedrock yields gravel pans, with two 76 cent finds amid a 100 foot shaft near Ruby mouth. Partners include Ed Rusk, Edger, Louis Rothman, Martin Lonstadt, and Tom Williams, backing a vigorous drilling effort along a Donlan Beach pay stretch about three quarters of a mile long. Nearby the Othello claim, held by Charles Worden, Cole McDougall, Walley Owens, Mace Farrer and others, is also being prospected as new finds emerge in the Kuskokwim region.
