Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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. 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. 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.

The federal government sent agents into the Northwest Territory to define and take control of its new property and exercise the jurisdiction of the Crown. First to arrive were surveyors for the Geological Survey of Canada, mapping travel routes and mineral riches which the Survey hoped would encourage mining to "develop" the north. The Dominion Land Survey followed in the early 20th Century by university professors and their students.

Extractions: in the Washington Public Schools The enclosed curriculum materials consist of a variety of original documents related to the Klondike gold rush and Seattle and a set of maps of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. These materials are intended to provide students with an opportunity to learn about and investigate a specific topic in Washington history: How the Klondike/Alaska gold rush played a role in Seattle's economic growth and its rise to a position of economic dominance among Northwest cities. The materials also allow for the investigation of other topics as well, including the experience of men and women in the gold rush itself, in both Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Combined with a few other resources, these materials provide teachers with a focused curriculum unit on the Klondike and Seattle that combines history, geography, and literature, and adds an in-depth focus to the broader consideration of the history of trade and economic growth in the Pacific Northwest II.

http://www.angelfire.com/mi/cariboogold/page2.html

Extractions: Early miners followed fine gold on sand bars up the mighty Fraser River with the feeling that they would find the source area and coarser gold. From 1858, the miners followed the trail north along the Fraser, then along the Quesnel River to Quesnel Forks. Good paying creeks like Kiethley, Cunningham, and Antler were found from here. Then in 1861, "Dutch Bill" Dietz crossed a divide with his partners and prospected on a creek that they named William's Creek in his honour. Although William's Creek is named after him, "Dutch Bill" never struck it rich. The creek did not pay well until it was discovered that the layer believed to be bedrock was indeed cement hard clay and that upon breaking through the clay good paying gravels were encountered. Even then the pay was not as good as some other creeks. It wasn't until August 17, 1862, that Billy Barker went downstream and sunk a shaft 52 feet deep to get through the clay and hit the richest ground ever seen in the area. This discovery focused attention on William's Creek and the town of Barkerville was created. As time progressed, easy diggings disappeared and many sold out to large mining companies. Hydraulicing was conducted well into the 1900's on many creeks in the area. As accurate production records weren't kept until the 1870's, the total production can only be estimated. William's Creek is estimated to have produced at least $400 million Cdn. alone with the total area producing towards $1 billion in placer gold. Total recorded production from the area is 540,000 ounces or approximately $300 million Cdn.. This is declared gold on which royalties were charged and this wasn't initiated for more than 10 years after the rush started. The actual numbers will never be known and the above ones are based on reading historical accounts.
