		The Klondike is a tributary of the Yukon River, and flows for 150 km (93 mi.) from its source in the Tintina, east of the Klondike Highway, into the Yukon at Dawson City.
		The legendary gold-rush in the Klondike began when George Washington Carmack and his two Indian brothers-in-law, Tagish Charlie and Shookum Jim, registered their first claim which they had made in Bonanza Creek, a branch of the Klondike River, on August 17th 1896 in Fortymile.
		By 1903 the rivers and creeks of the Klondike had yielded gold worth about 96 million dollars, at an average price of 20 dollars per ounce (31g), but there were very few whose dreams of great riches came true.

	Klondike - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Klondike district is a dissected peneplain with low ridges of rounded forms rising to 4250 ft. above the sea at the Dome which forms its centre.
		The richest gravels were worked out before 1910, and most of the population had left the Klondike for Alaska and other regions; so that Dawson, which for a time was a bustling city of more than 10,000, dwindled to about 3000 inhabitants.
		Gold is practially the only economic product of the Klondike, though small amounts of tin ore occur, and lignite coal has been mined lower down on the Yukon.

	Klondike River 1898 - ExploreNorth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This stream is a tributary of Alaska’s largest river, the Yukon, and was called by the Indians Throndink, which means "river full of fish." It is a small, shallow stream about 40 yards wide at the mouth, with clear blue water, in which salmon is abundant.
		The Indian name has been corrupted by the miners into Klondike, which is now the accepted name of the river and the region around it.
		It is believed that they knew of the existence of gold in that country, though they did not suspect the richness of the deposits, and, because miners would have disturbed the animals from whose furs the Hudson Bay Company received a large revenue, they said nothing about the precious metal.
