Gordon Ballentine with Paul Stoddart Excerpted from the Raincoast Chronicles I n 1937, in the fall, the Zeballos gold rush got heated up and Canadian Airways started to get busy. Zeballos had been a prospecting area for a long time before that, but in '37 they struck enough gold to make a town out of it, a real gold rush town. At that time Canadian Airways had one pilot in Vancouver and one airplane: Molly Small and a Balanka Pacemaker. I pestered Punch Dickens, who was the General Manager in Winnipeg, for a job. Employment with Canadian Airways was the goal for all the pilots because it was the biggest bush company in Canada, therefore the most stable. I got the job and we ran a regular schedule back and forth, Vancouver to Zeballos. When we first started going in there was no dock, no floats to the shore, no nothing. You anchored off a long, shallow, sloping beach and you learned to wear hip-waders. A fellow by the name of Major Nicholson, the postmaster, and his son used to come out and piggyback everyone ashore. It was a very busy period and there was a lot of competition and a lot of bad weather. It rained like hell over there, and there was mud up to our knees, which meant that everything in town was muddy and gritty. The first hotel in Zeballos was the Pioneer, whose proprietor was Les Browne. It had some rooms, but if I had to overnight it was usually in the ram pasture, just rows of iron beds with gray blankets on the wide open second floor. Then a new hotel the Golden Gate, was built right on the waterfront. It offered real luxury. Toilets in the rooms, even. But the Zeballos mud soon had the floors all gritty.

Introduction The Northern Review [College Home] [NR Home] [back to issue contents] In memory of John F. Davis (The end of each page in the original has been noted (end p. x). This permits citing this web document as though it were the original, published one.) The Klondike Gold Rush in International Perspective In the nineteenth century, two Scots left Dumferline to seek riches in North America. Andrew Carnegie headed for the United States and made his fortune in steel. James Dodds left for the Klondike in 1898, and his letters back to his parents do not suggest that he made a great success. "This is a very strange country," he wrote from Dawson City, "from the surface down . . . ." Nonetheless, for a brief time in the late 19 th and early 20 th century, the Klondike was synonymous with wealth, opportunity and freedom. It was hardly surprising that would-be gold miners from Scotland to New Zealand and from across North America would decamp from the routines of everyday life and head for the gold fields in the Yukon. One hundred years after the news of major gold strikes in the Klondike region reached the outside world, it is time to take stock of the continuing allure of this, the last of the great gold rushes. New perspectives have developed, and old ones have been revisited in the attempt to assess the broader context in which this major event took shape. This interest springs from continued curiosity about this profoundly important event and from growing interest in the impact of the gold rush on the Yukon Territory. The passage of time has created distance from the events, without diminishing public fascination in the remarkable stampede into the far northwest of North America.

64. Wrangell, Alaska - Attractions And Activities - History And Culture - Gold Rush Stikine River gold rush Alexander Buck Choquette, a former Hudson s living in Wrangell today, found gold on the Wrangell and on into the canadian Territory. http://www.wrangell.com/visitors/attractions/history/goldrush/

Gold was a driving force in the early development of Alaska bringing thousands of fortune seekers north. Because of gold strikes, many communities experienced sudden prosperity, followed by equally rapid depression as areas were mined out. Beginning as early as 1861, and spanning four decades until 1898, Wrangell played an important role in three major gold rushes: the Stikine River, Cassiar and Klondike Gold Rushes. These gold rushes transformed this small subsistence community to a bustling supply center for the miners with warehouses, hotels, dance halls, saloons, equipment and food stores and the first of many churches in Alaska. Stikine River Gold Rush Alexander "Buck" Choquette, a former Hudson's Bay Trader, with descendants still living in Wrangell today, found gold on the upper reaches of the Stikine River in 1861, causing a feverish stampede through Wrangell and on into the Canadian Territory. At this time, Wrangell was known as Fort Stikine and was leased by the Hudson Bay Company from Russia. Buck's Bar, however, was a minor find when compared to the gold strikes that were to follow. Cassiar Gold Rush Klondike Gold Rush In the late 1890's, Wrangell once again became the base of operations for prospectors travelling up the Stikine River to strike it rich in the famous 1898 Klondike gold rush. There were three different routes to the Klondike. The first was the Stikine River route which already had been the site of two rushes. Wrangell was advertised in newspapers as the easiest and the all Canadian route to the Klondike, prompting thousands of miners to go to Wrangell in 1897. Another later route was from Skagway and over the White Pass, and the last was from Dyea up the Taiya River and over the Chilkoot Pass. From 1897 until 1900, Wrangell was a vital supply point for miners heading to the Klondike.

Home Gold-Rush Ghost Town Gets a New Alaska Yellow Cedar Bridge by Frank W. Muchmore Skagway, a picturesque restored gold-rush town, is located in a spectacular fjord at the head of Lynn Canal, the northernmost end of Alaska’s Inside Passage. The city of Skagway, responding to increasing visitor and tourist traffic, recently decided to improve access to the old abandoned ghost town of Dyea. Dyea is located about five kilometers from Skagway “as the crow flies,” but it is 15 kilometers over a narrow gravel road that winds around two deep fjords. Dyea and Skagway were the booming, thriving gateways to the Yukon gold fields at the beginning of the fabled gold rush in 1898. Thousands of stampeders crowded into Skagway and Dyea by ship from the “lower 48 [contiguous states]” There, they began the grueling trek up the infamous White Pass from Skagway or up the shorter, but still brutal, Chilkoot Pass from Dyea to Lake Bennett. At Lake Bennett, they built boats to float down the Yukon River to Dawson City, site of the fabulous gold strike. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, stationed at the summit of Chilkoot Pass, would let no one into the Yukon (Canada) unless he could sustain himself with more than 900 kilograms (at least 2,000 pounds) of supplies — all of which had to be carried up the last steep slope of the pass, “The Golden Staircase,” on men’s backs, about 25 kilograms (50 to 55 pounds) at a time!

Welcome to THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME An Adventure Game exploring the 1860's Goldrush in British Columbia In the decade of the 1860's, the Colony of British Columbia came to the attention of the world. GOLD had been discovered on Fraser's River and in Cariboo - land occupied by Salish and Chilcotin Indians, as well as by fur trappers and traders. The search for gold was a major force in opening British Columbia for settlement and in shaping our landscape, our government and laws. The story of the Cariboo Goldrush is an exciting chapter in the history of Canada. In THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME, join goldseekers along the Cariboo Trail and learn how the goldrush shaped British Columbia. The Cariboo Trail begins in Fort Victoria and heads north 500 miles to the goldrush town of Barkerville. It is a hard trail. Many never return.
