Dr. William Denton came to Randsburg in 1916 at the invitation of the Yellow Aster Mining & Milling Company. He was instrumental in saving many miners during the flu epidemics of 1918 and 1920 with his concoction of "black capsule." It was a mixture of aspirin, salicylic acid and activated charcoal. Dr. Denton's wife was a school teacher, one son, Robert, went on to become a doctor in Bishop, California, while another son, Edward, became a Mono County Superior Court judge. Dr. William Denton went on to become the medical director in Trona in 1931, moved to Bridgeport in 1943 and passed on in 1952.
