Alaska Tour - Dawson City, Yukon Terr - Stop #9 - Panning for Gold
Today we made the 330 mile trek from Whitehorse to Dawson City -- home of the Klondike Gold rush!! To get there, we stopped for a break at the Braeburn Lodge and had one of their famous HUGE Cinnamon Buns!
In Dawson City we started with a walking tour that included the SS Keno a retired sternwheeler, an original bank & post office from during the gold rush, a poetry reading from Robert W. Service, and finished with a play at the Palace Grand Theater! The next day we toured Jack London's cabin, saw Dredge #4 (largest gold dredging machine every built), and saw the original Discovery Claim spot that started the whole gold rush!
My favorite part though, was being taught how to gold pan, and actually doing it a couple of times in Bonanza Creek! After all was said and done, Jeannie and I came away with multiple pieces of small gold nuggets!!

Downtown Chicken, Alaska
Chicken is a community founded on gold mining and is one of the few surviving gold rush towns in Alaska. Gold was discovered in the Chicken area at Franklin on the 40-Mile River in 1886 and on Chicken Creek in 1894, prior to the famous Klondike gold rush. At the present time there are still several active gold mines in the Chicken vicinity. The gold taken from this area comes from cat mining, suction, dredging, and for the tourist there is gold panning in pay dirt direct from mining operations.
Yukon Gold - Marty Knutson Biography
Born in North Vancouver, BC, 54 year-old Marty Knutson is a highly respected self-made gold miner. He arrived in Dawson City in 1980, met his wife Maryann there, and has built a successful life for himself in the Yukon. He and Maryann have four children - Tyson, Karl, Tamika, and Aurora. Over the past few years, Marty has started to give Karl more responsibility at his Sulphur Creek mine. This season, Marty is more hands off than ever, allowing Karl to make decisions on his own as he wraps up the operation at Sulphur Creek and prepares to move to a new site at Last Chance Creek. But Marty’s never too far from the action, and is always ready to offer his expert opinion.

The Square Inch of Yukon gold rush territory land Deed in every box of Quaker Oats scam
Once upon a time there was an advertising executive called Bruce Baker, in a City called Chicago. His job was to make children yell, “Mommy, I want Quaker Puffed Rice!”
For many years, this man told the children his cereal was shot from guns. This helped his sales. But other cereals had talking tigers and gave away prizes in every box. This hurt his sales. What could the poor businessman do?
He needed a new idea. Or else he would need a new job. He had to think of something catchy and simple and it had to do with the cereal’s radio show about a Mountie in the Yukon. Suddenly, the man knew! Sooooooooooo…..
The Quaker Oats bought 19.11 acres of land in the Yukon Territory of Canada for the price of $1000 USD and printed up 21 million deeds for one square inch of land. On advice of counsel, Quaker Oats set up and transferred the land to the Great Klondike Big Inch Land Company to make the company the registered owner and manager of the deeds.
Starting on January 1955, 93 newspapers across the United States ran advertisements that read Get a real deed to one square inch of land in the Yukon gold rush country and, You'll actually own one square inch of Yukon land.The promotion was tied to the Sergeant Preston of the Yukon radio show which Quaker Oats was sponsoring at the time.
The promotion instructed people to mail a form along with a box top from either Quaker Puffed Wheat, Quaker Puffed Rice or Muffets Shredded Wheat to the Quaker Oats company. In turn, a 5 by 8 inch deed to one square inch of land in the Klondike was sent back. In February 1955, Quaker Oats was blocked from trading the deed for a box top by the Ohio Securities Division until it received a state license for the sale of foreign land.
To get around the injunction, the company stopped the trade-in offer and instead put one of the deeds in each box of cereal produced.
Since none of the deeds were actually registered, the documents were never legally binding and owners of these deeds were never actual owners of any land. The deed excluded mineral rights on the property.
Due to $37.40 in back taxes, the land was repossessed by the Canadian government in 1965, and the Great Klondike Big Inch Land Company dissolved in 1966. The land is now part of the Dawson City Golf Course.
To this day, Yukon officials receive letters and phone calls about the deeds. The land office of the Yukon currently contains an 18 inch thick file folder of correspondence regarding the promotion.
Story Time with Aunt Phil, Cordova Iceworm, Dec. 29, 2017
In this segment, Alaska author/historian Laurel Downing Bill shares how the idea for Cordova's Iceworm, which led to an annual festival in that Prince William Sound community, stemmed from the Klondike gold rush era. This episode of Story Time with Aunt Phil first aired on Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA Channel 11 on Dec. 29, 2017.
Cordova’s iceworm, created during the winter of 1960, was a fitting descendant of that famous invention first born full grown from the fertile mind of Dawson City’s pioneer newspaper man E.J. “Stoller” White. His invention was the result of a dearth of news and a demand from his editor to go out and rustle up some news that would make headlines and sell papers.
As White pondered what sort of news might attract readers, a huge storm hit the Canadian gold-rush town. That’s when a great idea hit the newsman – he announced that new creatures had emerged after the storm: iceworms.
White described them as cold-loving creatures that had crawled out of their holes in a nearby glacier following the unusually chilly storm and their chirping was interfering with the slumbers of Dawson’s residents.
Soon the town was abuzz with talk of these worms and sales of the Nugget soared. People traveled on expeditions to find the elusive creatures, listening carefully for their chirps. Bartenders even created drinks called Iceworm Cocktails, complete with iceworms (pieces of spaghetti) pulled from blocks of ice.
Cordova’s iceworm, the brainchild of Ohmer Waer, was a gallant effort to attract tourists to Cordova and combat midwinter doldrums. Waer, manager of the historic old Windsor Hotel, looked around the empty lobby one fall morning as he drank a cup of coffee.
“What this town needs is an iceworm,” he told his wife.
Waer and several businessmen got together and bandied the idea around, then formed the Cordova Visitors Association and collected money for the project. Cordova’s first iceworm was made from wooden hoola hoops, aluminized cotton cloth and cardboard.
When the first festival got underway that February, children screamed as the more than 100-foot dragon-like creature undulated its way down the street. It took eight legs belonging to local teens to carry the head and many more for the body. Then and there, Cordova’s iceworm became an inseparable part of Cordova’s history and the annual Iceworm Festival was born.
The length of the Cordova Iceworm has grown since the creature’s first debut. I understand that those who participated in weaving it through town over the years still look at old photographs and gleefully point out which legs are theirs.

Yukon Gold - A Second Chance In Atlin
In 1989, prospectors Fritz Miller and Kenneth MacLaren hit the mother lode on Pine Creek near Atlin, BC. For thousands of miners who journeyed to the Klondike only to find the best claims staked, Atlin was a second chance. The population of the small town jumped from 75 to over 10,000 in months.
North by Northwest Territories (Pt. 2) - Stop-Over/Tour in Whitehorse, Yukon
November 8, 2019 - I'm spending one night with friends in Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon - and before the sun sets, I wanted to get out and visit the historic downtown core of this beautiful city on the banks of the Yukon River.
From Erik Nielson Whitehorse International Airport, high on the bluff overlooking the city, right down to the banks of the Yukon River where the S.S. Klondike rests, let's check out some of what this city has to offer, including Main Street, the Vistors Centre, the Yukon Legislative Assembly, some of the local shops, and of course, let's wrap it up at a local brewery, the Woodcutter's Blanket.
And a special guest appearance by Marge Simpson for some reason!
