It is a parable, in melodramatic form, about greed, violence and race relations. Through the characters of Priscilla and the Hurdy-Gurdy Girl, who dances at the Wake-Up Jake saloon, Lambert also comments on gender and class relations. The moral of the story is that generosity, tolerance and kindness enable human beings to live happily together as equals. Women are as feisty and capable as men; Indians and ex-slaves have high moral values, and Americans are evil. The North of the Cariboo is constructed as a potentially paradisal space that, if Canadians are not vigilant, will be disrupted by the violence and greed introduced by foreigners from the South. Moreover, gold is condemned as a fatal substance that brings nothing but grief. Billy DeLuxe delivers this message in the song with which he closes the play:

On August 16, 1896, George Carmack and his two Indian friends, Skookum Jim and Tagish Charlie, struck gold on a little stream deep in the interior of the Yukon. Test samples showed so much color that they realized immediately that they had made the big strike. At the time, the trio couldn't even begin to imagine how big it would turn out to be The news of the rich gold strike spread speedily throughout the several hundred prospectors who happened to be on the Yukon River at that moment. They rushed to the site. After only a few weeks the entire watercourse and its tributaries had been claimed. Bonanza Creek, as the location of the strike came to be named, flowed into the Klondike River. At the place where the Klondike River flowed into the mighty Yukon River, a little community quickly arose which went by the name of Dawson City. The news of the find at Bonanza Creek didn't reach the outside world during the first winter. But when the two steamers Excelsior and Portland arrived in San Francisco in the middle of July 1897 and the bearded, filthy goldminers came down the landing planks carrying valises packed with gold, the Gold Rush news broke and spread across the whole world! In Seattle the businessmen quickly perceived that they didn't need to journey up to the gold fields in order to get rich. The most profitable business in their situation was selling supplies to the prospective goldminers who, in addition, needed lodging and transportation. It is calculated that the businessmen in Seattle sold $25 million worth of equipment to the goldminers during the first six months of the rush alone. It would take three years before the gold fields up in the Klondike returned that much money.

:Back To Cedar Creek Gold Rush John Wilkinson Leland Baseline The discovery of gold and the ensuing stampede into Mineral County's Cedar Creek gulch took place more than 100 years ago. [Time has dimmed much of the story, but it is known that Cedar had all the elements of greed, violence and rowdiness found in gold mining camps.] [To give this synopsis at the gold rush a more personal character, the story of one Cedar couple, J.W. and Mary Leiand, has been added.  Some information and stories about them have been provided by their grandson.  Jay Leiand of Billing..] Louis Barrette and Adolph Lozeau The fall of 1868 found French-Canadian Louis Barrette disgusted with his luck in the Northern Idaho gold fields and looking around for better prospect enroute to the largely French-Canadian settlement of Frenchtown, located along the Mullan Road, Barrette rode parallel of the St. Joe River to its headwaters in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. As he followed along the summit trail, he spotted a basin on the Montana side that looked promising, to his gold prospector's eye.  Barrette resolved that he would return to the area after wintering in Frenchtown.  It was possibly on this trip that he met Adolph Lozeau, another French-Canadian. Lozeau operated a ranch about five miles east of the mouth of Cedar. His Forty Mile House had been a wayfarer’s stop along the Mullan Road for two years.

Some examples were: Lion Mines - 1975 price $0.07 / 1980 price $380 YES that's right it's not a misprint you could of bought 10,000 shares of lion mines in 1975 for around $700 dollars and if you held on for the whole 5 years January 1980 you could have netted a total profit of around $3,799,300. Not bad hey!!!!! A few others were Bankeno - 1975 price $1.25 / 1980 price $430. Wharf Resources - 1975 price $0.40 / 1980 price $560. Steep Rock - 1975 price $.93 / 1980 price $440 Mineral Resources - 1975 price $.60 / 1980 price $415 . Azure Resources - 1975 price $0.05 / 1980 price $109. No question about it, that was one of the biggest financial opportunities in history. I don't know of any other time in history, not even the dot.com bubble where in only a 5 year time span you could have turned so little money into so much wealth. "You only need to make one good investment decisions in your whole life to be super successful". I believe we are now at that same juncture as we were in 1976-78 , but only this time the fundamentals are even better for gold and silver than they were back then.

Canada Travel Services A compendium of outfitters, tour operators and travel guides in Canada Meet our Partners in Exploration and Discovery Dyea, now a ghost town was once the last supply outpost when Klondike fever struck stampeders heading out over Chilkoot Pass on the Alaska-British Columbia border bound for Yukon's gold fields. Tens of thousands climbed the "Golden Stairs" at Chilkoot Pass. The year's worth of supplies required by the Canadian government for those heading for the gold rush could mean 40 trips to the summit. (Yukon Archives/3626) This is where treacherous adventure began for more than 30,000 gold-seekers starting in the summer of 1897. And this is where the trek begins today for modern-day hikers. Of the almost 900 kilometres that needed to be travelled to get to the Klondike, the 53 kilometres from Dyea to Lindeman and Bennett lakes were the only ones crossed by foot the remaining lengthy stretch was travelled by small boats down the Yukon River. But the trail and especially the images of the human chain of men lined up the now famous Chilkoot Pass have become lasting symbols of the gold rush. The Chilkoot Trail is now an "international" historical park and is often referred to as the world's longest museum. Hundreds of artifacts can be seen along the trail relics of the bygone days of the gold rush. An old boiler and large cast-iron stove are rusting away at what used to be Canyon City. Wagon wheels, coffee pots, old shoes and canvas boats line the trail and remind us of the harsh conditions under which the stampeders were travelling quite a contrast with today's light hiking shoes, GoreTex jackets, compact stoves and down sleeping bags that make the trip a little more manageable. The trail is a four- to five-day trip for modern hikers, but the stampeders actually had to travel back and forth on the trail for over a month to move all their gear from Dyea to the lakes.

History Gold, discovered in 1896 on nearby creeks, caused the Klondike Gold Rush which turned this native summer fish camp at the junction of the Klondike and Yukon Rivers into the "Paris of the North". (The natives moved downstream to Moosehide.) The town was staked out by Joe Ladue and named after George M. Dawson, Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, who explored the region in 1887. In 1898, Dawson was the largest Canadian city west of Winnipeg (40,000 people) with telephone service, running water and steam heat. Elaborate hotels, theatres and dance halls were erected, with Andrew Carnegie donating $25,000 towards the building of a library in 1903. During 1899 the stampede for gold came to an end, and 8,000 people left Dawson that summer. By 1902, the population was down to less than 5,000. In 1902, Dawson was officially incorporated as a city. It was the seat of the Territorial Government from 1898. Major mining operations took over most of the Klondike gold beds in the years following the Gold Rush, but production declined after an all-time high in 1911. Higher gold prices caused a minor boom in the 1930's, but the last dredge was shut down in 1966. The Yukon's economic centre shifted to Whitehorse, which became the capital in 1953. Whitehorse was more accessible than Dawson due to the building of the Alaska Highway and cessation of riverboat travel. Today, tourism and gold mining are the major inductries, both taking place during the summer months. Approximately 60,000 people visit Dawson City each year.

Welcome to THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME An Adventure Game exploring the 1860's Goldrush in British Columbia In the decade of the 1860's, the Colony of British Columbia came to the attention of the world. GOLD had been discovered on Fraser's River and in Cariboo - land occupied by Salish and Chilcotin Indians, as well as by fur trappers and traders. The search for gold was a major force in opening British Columbia for settlement and in shaping our landscape, our government and laws. The story of the Cariboo Goldrush is an exciting chapter in the history of Canada. In THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME, join goldseekers along the Cariboo Trail and learn how the goldrush shaped British Columbia. The Cariboo Trail begins in Fort Victoria and heads north 500 miles to the goldrush town of Barkerville. It is a hard trail. Many never return. On your adventure, you will meet many historical characters. Sometimes they speak a different language, or in dialect, or they use words or phrases differently than we do today. Pay attention to their stories and advice. Choose your partner carefully - his character can help or hinder your adventure. Gain all the knowledge you can; take care of your health and keep track of your wealth. There is danger and hardship at every turn of the Cariboo Trail, but a wise goldseeker could strike it rich in Cariboo! TEACHERS In THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME Web site students use reading-comprehension and problem-solving skills to relive the Cariboo Goldrush of the 1860's - a significant event in the settlement of the Canadian West. Teacher's Corner provides information and lesson plans to help you use THE CARIBOO GOLDRUSH ADVENTURE GAME in the Classroom.
