Back to Watson Lake Information Main Page Yukon College, Watson Lake Photo: Earl Brown Early in 1897 , American (Lake Tahoe) Frank Watson at the age of 14 left California and headed north with his father to seek gold in the Klondike. They worked two claims on Bonanza Creek until sometime after the flood of 1903 when he headed to the Upper Liard River area. He was the first white man to travel over land to this area, most traveled on the rivers. He married Adela Stone and they settled on the shores of Fish Lake, later to be known as Watson Lake and led a life of a prospector and trapper. He moved his family a few miles north to Windid Lake as more people started to settle in the area. He died in 1938 after contracting pneumonia while in Lower Post. He died in route to Fort Saint John after being airlifted out on a mail plane. His children and grandchildren continue to be an intricate part of the Watson Lake community. Airport construction A cairn was erected in 1992 in dedication to the pilots who flew into the Watson Lake area during the war.

Jay Armitage / Special to the Post-Intelligencer Mother lode of Yukon history, beauty, thrills By JEN EDWARDS SPECIAL TO THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER A trip to Dawson City, Yukon, always spells adventure. This unique little town at the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush was built on it. . The adventure started during the stampede of 1898, when just getting to Dawson meant surmounting an eternal obstacle course of wild rivers, mountains and muck. . What was once the misery of more than 30,000 gold seekers has since become an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. And Dawson City, with its ideal location and historical significance, serves as the perfect starting point from which to begin your journey. . Still a frontier town of mud streets, boardwalks, ramshackle buildings and saloons, Dawson City's streetscape offers the visitor a satisfying balance of vigilant preservation and quiet decay.

12. Law Of The Yukon: Yukon News Review The police history is inseparable from yukon history. As the author says, reallifeMountie history in the Yukon is `better than Hollywood any day. '. http://www.yukonweb.com/business/lost_moose/books/law/yukon_news.html

Reviews Law of the Yukon Mountie Facts Beat Fiction by Jane Gaffin, News Correspondent Helene Dobrowolsky's new pictorial history, Law of the Yukon , was produced specifically to coincide with the Year of the Mounties. But the striking, 192-page, large-format book reaches far beyond the RCMP centennial concept. The police history is inseparable from Yukon history. And Law of the Yukon documents both. In 1895, the North-West Mounted Police Force was on shaky ground when sent to the Yukon. The majority of the force's 20-year lifespan had been under a Conservative government. The Liberals, who viewed a federal police force as a needless expense, formed the government in 1896. And the force's existence was in jeopardy. However, the NWMP proved its worth by quickly gaining authority and respect in the North. The NWMP fiercely asserted Canadian sovereignty when thousands of Americans poured across the disputed Canada-U.S. boundary during the Klondike Gold Rush. If not for the Mounties' stanch determination, the Yukon would have ended up as part of Alaska. The police also accepted responsibility for administrative control and kept order among 60,000 Klondikers during the chaotic 1898 gold rush.

16. Mining History In Yukon-Charley In Alaskan and yukon history, the best known period of mining historyis the great Klondike Gold Rush which took place in 1898. http://www.nps.gov/yuch/Expanded/mining_history/mining_history.htm

In Alaskan and Yukon history, the best known period of mining history is the great Klondike Gold Rush which took place in 1898. By the time the thousands of prospectors landed at Dawson City in the Yukon Territory they found all the valuable ground staked. Consequently, many of them either returned to their homes empty-handed or fanned out into the surrounding country hoping to find new areas where they could make their fortunes. Many continued down the Yukon River to the already established Fortymile mining district and some further on to the Eagle district. Approximately 150 miles further down the river lay the town of Circle, the heart of the Circle district. Although the strikes in the Klondike are the best known, previous discoveries were made and production began in tributaries along the upper Yukon in the mid-1880s with discoveries along the Fortymile River. Following these, in 1893, two Creoles, named Pitka and Sorresca made additional discoveries in what later became the Circle Mining District. Their initial discoveries were somewhere on Birch Creek. News of the discovery started an influx of prospectors into the area and in the following spring (1894) discovery of the placers on Mastodon Creek. As prospectors continued to probe the drainages surrounding Birch and Mastodon Creeks, gold was also discovered on Independence, Miller, Deadwood, and Boulder Creeks all within what eventually became the Circle mining district.
