Old Farmer Schooge and the Dinner Bell Rescue

MaltaMontana residents dismiss stories of gold in Fort Peck Dam tailings while plans for a gold plated highway in Phillips County stir interest. Estimates claim five million dollars in gold in the dam tailings versus about thirty cents per yard for the proposed road surface. The 3,600,000 cubic yards of tailings in Ruby Gulch are cited by sources, with broader notes that European airlines receive government subsidies.
