note: THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY EARLY DAYS ON THE YUKON f LO^c<^<®2^< EARLY DAYS ON THE YUKON & THE STORY OF ITS GOLD FINDS BY WILLIAM OGILVIE D.L.S., F.R.G.S. WITH 32 ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON: JOHN LANE, THE BODLEY HEAD NEW YORK: JOHN LANE COMPANY TORONTO: BELL & COCKBURN: MCMXIII /ILLIAM BRENDON AND SON, LTD., PRINTERS, PLYMOUTH TO MY WIFE k PREFACE AFTER many years of service in the Yukon Territory, Mr. Ogilvie acquired an intimate knowledge of its peoples, its geography, and its resources.
