The editor of the Laramie Boomerang was Bill Nye, a well-known humorist of the 19th century and author of several books which I find genuinely funny. On slow news days he filled his columns with imaginative humor.
It would take imagination and a certain type of humor to come up with a story of gold, diamonds, rubies and turquoise all occurring together in the same vein. I hope that no one is spending their time looking for it.

In this case I agree more. I could not find a mountain range called the snow mountains. Nor any record of Arthur Bethanny. Some time editors created made up fill in stories and reused them when there was gaps in their newspapers to fill.
