 In 1900 he joined the stampede to the golden sands of Nome where he remained until 1912. He was in and out of several small fortunes.
 Ashby returned to Juneau in 1913 and took over the Dream theater and Opera Bar. Prohibition put him out of business so he returned to prospecting the Taku country. Montana Creek and Chichagof Is- land.
