Yeakel, George M. - 1881

Struck A Bonanza.--  George M. Yeakel, son of Reuben Yeakel, of Lexington, who about a year ago went to Colorado, has been in luck.  In prospecting some time ago near Irvin Ruby Camp he discovered three silver mines, one of which is a very good one.  He has also found iron and zinc.  He believes he has struck a bonanza and intends to hold on to the mines until he can sell to advantage.  He says “it makes a poor devil like me, feel good to strike a good mine.”  We hope he may reap a fortune.
