Discovery was the beginning of one of the largest gold rushes in North America history, but the Yukon prospects succeeded in keeping the discovery a secret for one year.
In the first year, George Washington Carmack, with Skookum Jim and Tagish Charley (Camaac Indian brother - in - law), was assisted by explorer Robert Henderson. A gold deposit was discovered together. Other local prospectors of Yukon filed suit against the tributaries of almost all tributaries of the Klondike River and the Indus River. In the first year, the sharp rise in secret money in the Yukon region made a lot of prospects wealthy.
As with all secrets, this story was finally resolved when explorers who accumulated wealth returned to families in other parts of the world. When the Seattle Post-Intelligence Department described the discovery of "1 ton of gold" in July 1897, the urge in the north continued. And the prospecters from all walks of life went for Yukon for wealth.
When they traveled in the water, wealthy prospectors first arrived at the golden lands. The rest of the 100,000 prospects drowning in Canada and Alaska traveled through the steep lane trails and rivers and occasionally reached the destination over two years. Closed in 1898
In the final estimate, the prospect seeking their wealth in Klondike Gold Rush is believed to have spent $ 50 million (£ 32,715,000.00) on the Klondike Gold Trail. This amount is almost the same as the amount of gold found within 5 years since sand deposits were found in rabbit creek.
In the 19th century, many gold rushes in remote areas of the world, such as California Gold Rush, Victoria Gold Rush, Klondike Gold Rush in 1849, caused migration of large scale miners. Witwatersrand's gold discovery brought about the second Boer war, which ultimately brought the establishment of South Africa. Carlin trend of Nevada State in the United States was discovered in 1961. According to official estimates, the world's total gold production since the start of civilization is about 6,109,928,000 troy ounces (190,040.0 tons), Nevada state total gold production is 2.5%, Nevada state is the major gold production area on Earth One of them.
This story took place during the Klondike Gold Rush which began in 1897. This was in the Sutter mill in California for nearly half a century since the first North American gold rush. The Klondike River is a tributary of the Yukon River passing through a corner of the Yukon region in northwestern Canada. By 1898, tens of thousands of promising miners gathered in the area, arrived in Alaska's Skagway, traveled hundreds of miles along the sidewalk, then went on a boat to the gold mine around Dawson Creek, Canada It was. . Many miner workers are not ready for physical and emotional preparation to deal with the situation they encounter. Many people lost their packaging animals, their wealth, and even their lives. Only about one-third of the people Klondike river started to finish the trip - although Klondike became very wealthy, most miners were very disappointed.
The last "big gold rush" was the Klondike gold rush of the Yukon in Canada (1896 - 1999). This gold rush is immortal in Jack London novels and Charlie Chaplin's film "Gold Rush". Robert William service is full of talent in his poetry, especially in the 1998 trail of the trail, depicting the dramatic events of the gold rush. The main gold mine is located near the confluence with the Yukon River near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada in the south of the Klondike River, but to exploit the relatively new Alaska land in the US for exploration Also useful. And solved and promoted the discovery of other gold discoveries
