New Townsite Near Ruby City Opens Ahead of Rivalry
Arrivals from Ruby describe a fresh townsite near the bluff below Ruby creek at Short creek mouth. A stakeout was laid in late April by Harry Hamburger, Eddie Lewin, Joe Sterling, Joe Green and others with a few cabins and tents but little evidence of a competing town. Fred Rhind planned for N C Co to use it though water front rights at Ruby creek’s mouth limit improvements. Captain Jack Green sails the Pup delivering boilers and outfits while Captain Smythe plans to cart the Florence S up the Salama to Trail creek’s mouth.
