22. 1858 Gold Rush - British Columbia - Canadian Confederation Toronto WJ Gage Ltd., 1957. 55 p. Marshall, Daniel P. Fraser River gold rush . canadian encyclopedia year 2000 edition. Ed. James H. Marsh. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/2/18/h18-2951-e.html

1858 Gold Rush - British Columbia There were several gold finds in British Columbia in the 1850s, but the largest and most important discoveries were made in the sand bars along the Fraser River. When the first consignment of Fraser River gold reached San Francisco on April 3, 1858, the Fraser River Gold Rush was on. Tens of thousands of people flocked to the area, increasing the population of Victoria from 500 to more than 5000 people; thousands more moved to the mainland. Almost overnight, gold prospecting eclipsed the fur trade as the major industry in the region. In 1858 Britain formalized its hold on the coast by establishing the colony of British Columbia, sometimes known as the "gold colony". The economic boom lasted into the early 1860s, when British Columbia and Vancouver Island lapsed into a recession.

THE 2005 CANADIAN ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS GOLD RUSH TRAIL 3 DAY JULY 14 TH TO 17 TH WILLIAMS LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA The Orienteering Association of British Columbia and the Williams Lake and Greater Vancouver Orienteering Clubs welcome you to the forests of the beautiful Cariboo region for three days of orienteering competition in classic BC Interior terrain. Williams Lake, a city with a population of 30,000, is located in the heart of this historic part of British Columbia. Gold was panned on the bars of the Fraser River in the 1850s. Adventurous treasure seekers headed out from the Fraser, like some ancient orienteers, to search for the motherlode up the rivers flowing into the Fraser from the east. With little more than sketches for maps, alluvial gold was discovered at Quesnel Forks on the Quesnel River just east of Williams Lake. Then, in 1862, gold was discovered a bit further north in the rocks around Barkerville - the rush was on! And still without real maps. The Cariboo “Waggon Road” was constructed in 1864-65 and many stopping houses were built along its length to service the gold seekers. The present Highway 97 follows the line of the old Gold Rush Trail, joining the many small communities that have grown up in the intervening years. Today you can follow the Gold Rush Trail from Vancouver, up the Fraser to Hope, then north to Lytton and Cache Creek on the Trans Canada Highway. Here Highway 97 follows the historic Gold Rush Trail to Williams Lake, Quesnel and Barkerville. A journey through history and stunning scenery for about 540 kms.

This story ran in The Seattle Times on January 7, 1996 By Sharon Boswell and Lorraine McConaghy Special to the Times Crowds jammed Seattle's docks, headed for the gold fields of the Yukon River and its tributaries the region of Alaska and Canada known to adventurers and residents alike as the Klondike. Backed by local newspapers and the Chamber of Commerce, Seattle became the West Coast portal to the Klondike. Photo Credit: Seattle Times. I N 1896,"DOWNTOWN SEATTLE" WAS JUST A FEW BLOCKS OF DENSE URBAN CONSTRUCTION between First and Third avenues, on either side of Yesler Way. Respectable commerce moved north up the avenues away from the heart of the city in Pioneer Place, now known as Pioneer Square. Saloons, gambling dens and brothels stretched to the south. When newcomer Alden J. Blethen bought his first stake in The Seattle Times that year, Seattle was raw and broke a frontier seaport on the long downside of a boom-and-bust economy. Recent completion of the Great Northern Railways transcontinental track to the city revived hopes that Seattle might become the commercial hub for a great hinterland of timber, wheat and coal. But the town still suffered the after-effects of 1893s national panic, when distant investors withdrew their funds from local projects. Seattle couldn't meet its own payrolls, and a stream of jobless men abandoned the city in search of better prospects. Overnight, everything changed. On July 17, 1897, the steamer Portland docked in Seattles harbor carrying 70 ordinary men who had brought back a million dollars in gold from the streams of the Yukon River. Their fantastic stories coursed through the city streets.

She first flew in September 1923 and was based at Lakehurst, N.J. On September 2, 1925 she left her home base bound for the Midwest on a public relations mission meant to build support for the Navy’s air service. Within a few hours of her departure her flight turned into a disaster that took 14 lives and jeopardized the Navy’s air program. Flying over Southeastern Ohio in the early morning hours of September 3, the airship encountered turbulence so severe that the she was lifted rapidly above her pressure height only to be dropped and raised again. The ship was totally out of control, at the mercy of air currents that repeatedly raised and lowered her like a bobbing cork. The stress broke the ship in two, plunging the external control cabin to earth and the officers and crew inside to their deaths. The bow was separated from the rest of the ship and the crew miraculously brought this section safely to the ground by flying it as a free balloon. Twenty-nine of the crew survived the ordeal.

E-mail this page to a friend Return to the main CCPA web page THE DESTRUCTIVE AFRICAN GOLD RUSH: Canadian mining companies set to destroy Ghana's forest reserves By Asad Ismi Under pressure from Canadian and U.S. mining companies, the Ghanaian government seems ready to pass legislation that will open the country's protected forest reserves to mining. The companies' bulldozers are ready to raze thousands of hectares of rainforest in the Ashanti, Eastern and Western regions if the government gives them permission. The targeted areas include the Subri River Forest Reserve (the biggest in the country), the Supuma Shelterbelt, the Oppon Mansi, Tano Suraw, and Suraw Extension Forest Reserves. Mining has already destroyed so much of Ghana's forest cover that only about 12% of it remains. At independence in 1957, Ghana's forests covered about 8.3 million hectares, but today only 1.2 million hectares are left. Some 10 to 12 thousand people depend on the forest reserves directly for their food and livelihood. Rivers and streams in the reserves feed into major rivers that supply water to many villages, towns and cities. Mining's required use of toxic chemicals will destroy the water bodies that provide drinking water for millions of people. The forest reserves are also considered globally significant for their biological diversity; they contain over 700 types of tropical trees and many endangered species, including 34 plants, 13 mammals, 23 butterflies, and eight birds.

Careers / Recruiting Provinces- Alberta British Columbia Manitoba New Brunswick Newfoundland N.W.T Nova Scotia Nunavut Ontario - NCR-Ottawa P.E.I. Quebec Saskatchewan - Training Academy Yukon Origins of the RCMP Klondike Gold Rush While the Force in Alberta and Saskatchewan was adjusting to the growing tide of settlers, a new frontier was opening up to the north along the banks of the Yukon River and its tributaries. Little was known of the Yukon prior to 1886. A sudden flurry of activity there focused attention on the Fortymile River. A gold strike on this small Yukon tributary, just inside the Canadian border, set off a chain reaction attracting a sudden modest influx of gold seekers. Local traders, conscious of the new market, now turned their attentions to these fresh customers. The increase in population created a need for a more stable regulative authority: major commercial interests looked for some form of order; the Anglican clergy sought to protect the Indian population from indiscriminate liquor traders; and even the miners worried about possible future disorder. The Canadian government's solution to these problems was "something for everyone". There would be no immediate show of force which would risk a violent clash with the miners and traders over government regulations, but the government wished to ensure that the region would remain Canadian.

Within the next two years 100,000 people would seek their fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush. There were three routes the prospectors would take to get to the Yukon Territory. Skagway and Dyea,situated on the land/sea route, would grow quickly in population as people stampeded to get a share of gold.
