Shel's/ Ruby/ Alaska// Worth/ 25c/ In This Store. R250. The discovery of gold in 1906 on Ruby Creek brought many prospectors to the area. Following the discovery of gold on Long Creek in 1910, about 30 miles south of Ruby, a gold rush began. As discoveries were made on Greenstone and Poorman Creeks, Swift Creek, and Moose Creek, Ruby became the supply center for mines in the area. Total gold production for the Ruby area until 1960 was about 390,000 ounces.
