Former Idaho cowboy and restaurant owner Fred “Fritz” or “Snuffy” Rowland (he was known by both nicknames) moved from Idaho to Beatty, Nevada, late in life to try his hand at prospecting. Fritz found uranium and gold, but nothing amounting to a big strike. His story was shared in the July/Aug Westerner Magazine in an article titled “Death Valley Gold Digs.”
