Canadian Gold Rushes El Dorado Fever When the paddle wheeler Commodore arrived at Fort Victoria from San Francisco on April 25, 1858, the 450 passengers on board more than doubled the size of the town that had no hotels or other public buildings to accommodate them. This did not really matter, however, as those arriving were eager to seek their fortune up British Columbia’s Fraser River in the biggest gold strike since the California Gold Rush of 1849. In the next three months an estimated 27,000 gold seekers sailed from San Francisco to Victoria. Another 8,000 travelled overland through the Oregon Territory to seek their fortune. Their first main stop was at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser rivers. Then, in the 1860s, it was on to the Cariboo district until the dramatic discovery of gold in the Klondike brought worldwide fame to the Yukon in 1898.... Barkerville grew up around the 50-foot shaft sunk by William Barker whose gold discovery along Williams Creek in 1862 yielded some $600,000 by 1866. The northern terminus of the Cariboo Road, Barkerville was inhabited by 10,000 stampeders by 1863. So much gold was being discovered in the region that some miners hired agents with guns, as this 1865 Barkerville photo demonstrates, to assure safe delivery of gold nuggets to Victoria.

Claims even then were feverishly reworked, redug, and rediscovered. This Grouse Creek sluicer from near Barkerville was still pocketing gold when Frank McLennan photographed him in 1867.

Expect Canadian gold rush at Olympics by Kim Krett the Carillon Tomorrow, the XVIII Olympic Winter Games will open in Nagano, Japan. 80 countries and 3000 athletes will converge in this Japanese city to compete in 14 sports. These games will also see the debut of three new sports Ñ snow boarding, women's hockey and curling. The outlook for Canada and its performance at these games has been likened to the days of the Klondike Ñ a gold rush! So today I am going to do what no journalist has the guts to ever do Ñ I am going to predict where Canada is going to win some medals, and I'll even say what kind Ñ gold, silver or bronze. In hockey it shall be a golden sweep with both the men and women winning the gold medal over those blasted Americans. I also see another clean sweep, literally, in the sport of curling. With three time world champion Sandra Schmirler, and the underdog Mike Harris (and I'm not talking about the Ontario Premier) walking in as the undisputed favorites, I'd be very disappointed if we do not destroy the competition and win the gold. In figure skating there are two real contenders for medals. Elvis "the King" Stoyko will shoot for the gold that he was denied in Lillehammer in 1994.

Welcome to a place where the fun's pure gold - Historic Barkerville - just east of Quesnel in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region of British Columbia! It's living history in a spectacular natural environment. In 1862, Billy Barker found gold at Williams Creek, a discovery that started a rush of fortune seekers to the Cariboo from all over the world. In its heyday this was the largest town in the Canadian West. Over 100,000 people traveled the Cariboo Wagon Road (named 'Eighth Wonder of the World') to converge on the goldfields, and the bustling boomtown of Barkerville. Today Barkerville endures as a town of discovery, a unique streetscape with over 125 heritage buildings, the Theatre Royal shows, exhibits, stage coach rides, entertaining street theatre during the summer, and unique shops filled with Victorian-era merchandise. You can also celebrate Halloween with a "Ghostly Town Tour" in Barkerville and in mid-December there is decorated displays and home baking in the Wendle House. The Goldfield Bakery and many of the Barkerville businesses are open for Christmas, there's Carol singing at St. Saviour's Church, special Christmas displays, and events throughout the month.
