Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Klondyke and Yukon Guide: Alaska and Northwest Territory Gold Fields; Where They Are, How to Get There, What to Take Along, When to Go and What to Do to Secure a Claim The wonderful gold fields now known the world over as the Klon dike diggings, are situated on a branch of the Yukon river, in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Gold was discovered in the Yukon basin in 1881 on a tributary of the Lewis river, during the next few years considerable mining was done on the Hootalinqua, which flows out of Teslin' lake and into the Yukon. Since then gold has been found in paying quantities on Stewart river, Forty-mile creek, Glacier creek, Birch creek, and last but by no means least, the creeks tributary to the Klondike. Forty-mile creek is for the most part in, Alaska; the headwaters of Sixty-mile creek are also in United States territory; Miller, Glacier and Birch creeks were once thought to be in Alaska, but are now known to be in Canada, and of the wonder fully rich Klondike there has never been any doubt of its being in Can ada.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Klondike: The New Gold Fields of Alaska and the Far North-West For most of them were rich, and had grown rich quickly. In every man's pocket there was a bag of virgin gold. In all this queer make-shift baggage there was more of it. It had been gathered in a wilderness where none but savages, and few of them, had ever lived, and where there will never be a farm, a factory, a college. How much wealth they carried ashore that day will never be precisely known, and already they are scattered and have been individually forgotten.
