Goldbug Gold Prospecting Tale From Kentucky Frontiers
The article recounts the founding of Goldbug along Grub creek in the Elephant Rock district. Kentucky Bill and Bier Pol stake a claim after a harsh trek in 1896, building a cedar cabin at Valentine and panning for gold along Grub creek with notable nuggets found. The original cabin later decayed, and by 1931 miner Clarence located the site, the cabin now gone to brush and ruin.
