Canadian Gold Rush Continues! RELAYED TEXT STARTS HERE: Headline: Canadian Gold Rush Continues! Source: Down to Earth Date: 8/30/96 In our last issue we described how Indonesia, and especially Kalimantan's gold belt has become a honeypot for Canadian companies. They are hoping to strike gold in a big way, like Bre-X Minerals Ltd, which has discovered a massive deposit now estimated to contain some 40 million ounces of gold. Busang ranks alongside other mega-mines like Freeport/RTZ's Grasberg world-beating deposit which has proven reserves of 50 million ounces. It throws RTZ's nearby Kelian mine of 5 million ounces into the shade. According to the Far Eastern Economic Review, the mine at Busang is likely to be a low-cost, open-pit operation with a tributary of the Mahakam River and existing logging roads serving as supply lines. The area comprises three concession lying over logged over foothills, it reports. The previous gold rush in Kalimantan was dominated by Australian companies, (an Australian company Montague Gold actually explored Busang in

May 8, 1998 Canadian Heroes of the Klondike Gold Rush Listed by their native Province Alberta: Jim Wallwork - A cowboy from the foothills, Wallwork's claim to fame was hauling a small steamboat, the Daisy Belle, over the mountains from Edmonton to Dawson City. It was a North Saskatchewan sternwheeler. He dragged it over the summit from Shacktown to the Bell River, aided by thirty Indian sled-dogs. The little craft finally reached the Yukon and there, unable to face the swift current, ended its days. Wallwork transferred the eight horsepower engine and the boiler to a York boat and continued upstream to Dawson. No doubt it was enough for him that he had made it, for those who set out from Edmonton to seek their fortunes counted themselves truly fortunate if they reached their goal. British Columbia: Captain William Moore - During the late 1880s, Moore owned a mansion in Victoria and his fleet of five steamboats had earned him a fortune in the Cassiar stampede. Bankrupt by 1887, his possessions were auctioned off by creditors. Long before George Carmack's strike, he was convinced there would be a gold rush to the Klondike. He became determined to build a boom town at Skagway and in 1888 built a cabin at the foot of the White Pass. When the influx came in 1897, newcomers ordered him off his land to build a thoroughfare. He fought this in the courts for four years, in the meantime building a mile-long wharf that would again earn him a fortune. Finally the courts awarded him 25% of the assessed value of all the lots within the original townsite.

Expect Canadian gold rush at Olympics by Kim Krett the Carillon Tomorrow, the XVIII Olympic Winter Games will open in Nagano, Japan. 80 countries and 3000 athletes will converge in this Japanese city to compete in 14 sports. These games will also see the debut of three new sports Ñ snow boarding, women's hockey and curling. The outlook for Canada and its performance at these games has been likened to the days of the Klondike Ñ a gold rush! So today I am going to do what no journalist has the guts to ever do Ñ I am going to predict where Canada is going to win some medals, and I'll even say what kind Ñ gold, silver or bronze. In hockey it shall be a golden sweep with both the men and women winning the gold medal over those blasted Americans. I also see another clean sweep, literally, in the sport of curling. With three time world champion Sandra Schmirler, and the underdog Mike Harris (and I'm not talking about the Ontario Premier) walking in as the undisputed favorites, I'd be very disappointed if we do not destroy the competition and win the gold. In figure skating there are two real contenders for medals. Elvis "the King" Stoyko will shoot for the gold that he was denied in Lillehammer in 1994.

Canadian Gold Rushes El Dorado Fever When the paddle wheeler Commodore arrived at Fort Victoria from San Francisco on April 25, 1858, the 450 passengers on board more than doubled the size of the town that had no hotels or other public buildings to accommodate them. This did not really matter, however, as those arriving were eager to seek their fortune up British Columbia’s Fraser River in the biggest gold strike since the California Gold Rush of 1849. In the next three months an estimated 27,000 gold seekers sailed from San Francisco to Victoria. Another 8,000 travelled overland through the Oregon Territory to seek their fortune. Their first main stop was at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser rivers. Then, in the 1860s, it was on to the Cariboo district until the dramatic discovery of gold in the Klondike brought worldwide fame to the Yukon in 1898.... Barkerville grew up around the 50-foot shaft sunk by William Barker whose gold discovery along Williams Creek in 1862 yielded some $600,000 by 1866. The northern terminus of the Cariboo Road, Barkerville was inhabited by 10,000 stampeders by 1863. So much gold was being discovered in the region that some miners hired agents with guns, as this 1865 Barkerville photo demonstrates, to assure safe delivery of gold nuggets to Victoria. [Photo, courtesy National Archives of Canada/C-088917] 2. Although British Columbia’s Cariboo district was mined into the 20th century, the spectacular discoveries were made in the early 1860s. Claims even then were feverishly reworked, redug, and rediscovered. This Grouse Creek sluicer from near Barkerville was still pocketing gold when Frank McLennan photographed him in 1867.

Short and Sweet: Tips for living the abundant life All the credible scientists told Frobisher's financial backer, Michael Lok, that the black rock was worthless 'fools gold'. But Michael Lok, being an early stock promoter of the less reputable kind, ignored their advice and instead consulted an Italian alchemist, Giovanni Agnello, who used 'black magic' to discern that Martin Frobisher's rock was indeed gold. The English business community, backed by Queen Elizabeth I, became so excited about the first Canadian Gold Rush, that they sent 15 Ships to Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island. The Queen even lent her own 200-ton ship AID. Gold Rush fever brought together the largest Armada of English ships ever assembled until World War II.

April 24, 1998 Before the Klondike Gold Rush by Ken Spotswood When gold was discovered in the Klondike 100 years ago, the Yukon was widely regarded as being a vast, empty wasteland of unexplored, uncharted wilderness. It was a blank spot on maps. The same people also believed that North America wasn't 'civilized' until it was 'discovered' by Christopher Columbus in 1492. They couldn't have been more wrong. For thousands of years Alaska and the Yukon was home to many native societies of Inuit and Indian people. The earliest inhabitants were the Inuit who occupied the Arctic coast of Alaska and Herschel Island. Indians appeared later. The oldest traces of man in the Yukon show evidence of hunter-gatherer societies going back about 11,000 years in the Porcupine River area, and earlier around Old Crow. Archaeologists have established that native Indians were living in the Yukon about 8,000 B.C. They inhabited the shores of Kluane, Aishihik, Dezeadash, Kusawa, Tagish, Marsh, Laberge and Teslin Lakes. Inland Tlingit, related to the Tlingit Indians of the Pacific northwest coast, lived in the area of the southern lakes. The Athapaskan peoplesthe Kutchin, Han, Tutchone and Kaskacovered much of the territory.

Historical Context Seattle's prospects promised to rise, however, with the completion of a second railroad line, the Great Northern, from St. Paul to Seattle, in 1893. The completion of this second line, however, coincided with a severe economic panic, followed by a severe depression that lasted until 1897. At the moment that the railroad promised to open more and distant markets for Northwest timber, fish, and wheat, the national economy bottomed out. Unemployment soared in the Northwest, and around the country. Banks closed, and businesses failed. Even this increasing gold-related trade did not promise Seattle anything in the way of a basis for sustained economic growth. In 1890, Seattle had a population of about 42,000 people. The city's economy had diversified in the 1870s and 1880s to include not only a small gold mining segment, but also coal mining, farming, wheat and fruit shipments, small manufacturing, dairy production, and a fishing industry that had moved north to include halibut and salmon fisheries in Alaska. But the timber industry, including a crucial shingle-production sector, remained the mainstay of the Washington, and the Seattle, economy.

Fee Information In 1897 news of a gold strike in the Canadian Yukon reached Seattle, triggering a stampede North to the Klondike Gold Fields. From 1897 to 1898, tens of thousands of people from across the United States and around the world descended upon Seattle's commercial district. While in Seattle, the hopeful miners purchased millions of dollars of food, clothing, equipment, pack animals, and steamship tickets. The final outcome of this great stampede helped shape the Seattle we know today, bolstering the city's reputation as the Queen City of the Pacific Northwest. Home Accessibility Activities Facts ...

Sarvant The Klondike Gold Rush Other Search Options ** Keyword uses implied AND between words. To perform phrase searching select 'Other Search Options' above. On August 16, 1896 Yukon-area Indians Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie, along with Seattleite George Carmack found gold in Rabbit Creek, near Dawson, in the Yukon region of Canada. The creek was promptly renamed Bonanza Creek, and many of the locals started staking claims. Gold was literally found all over the place, and most of these early stakeholders (who became known as the "Klondike Kings") became wealthy. Since the Yukon was so remote, word of this find spread relatively slowly for almost a year. On July 17, 1897, eleven months after the initial discovery of gold, the steamship Portland arrived in Seattle from Dawson with "more than a ton of gold", according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. With that pronouncement, the Klondike Gold Rush was on! Within six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon. Only 30,000 completed the trip. Many Klondikers died, or lost enthusiasm and either stopped where they were, or turned back along the way. The trip was long, arduous, and cold. Klondikers had to walk most of the way, using either pack animals or sleds to carry hundreds of pounds of supplies. The Northwest Mounted Police in Canada required that all Klondikers bring a year's worth of supplies with them. Even so, starvation and malnutrition were serious problems along the trail. The story of the Klondiker who boiled his boots to drink the broth was widely reported, and may well have been true. Cold was another serious problem along the trail. Winter temperatures in the mountains of northern British Columbia and the Yukon were normally -20 degrees F., and temperatures of -50 degrees F. were not unheard of. Tents were usually the warmest shelter a Klondiker could hope for.
