Tom Wilson

Tom Wilson and Nick Silvers were working on a bar four miles below Densmore and Hughes on the Yukon River in 1886. They were making $50 a day but the bar was almost worked out. A number of men worked there all summer but did not strike anything to pay. These bars are situated near the Salmon River.1)
