Document 67: Letter home from John H. Lindsay, Fox Gulch, April 3, 1899.


Bonanza Creek is crowded with travellers going up and down....There is a great many men here out of employment and they keep running around from one creek to another trying to get something to do but there are more men here than there is work for them to do and in the creeks they will soon have to stop work on account of water running in on them....

—John H. Lindsay, letter home to Halifax, 3 April 1899, from Fox Gulch, Yukon Territory. —Yukon Archives, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, MSS 12, Acc. 82/173
