McDougall's story is ting in that it relates directly te the ery and shows that even Hendersor was not the first man to take placer goldiout of the creeks that have their source in the Dawson Dome His story that the finding of gold at Dawsen was not an accident, but the outcome of observa tion, following a working Gut of gold location theories in the Cariboo dis tget of British Columbia; Circum, stances deemed important at the time prevented him from making the trip into the: Yukon. Had he carried. out his origional inteniion he might vot only have made the discovery but much money besides. Mr. McDougall has resided on the Pacific coast thirty years and is a successful contractor, residing af No. 2163 Napier street, Vaneouver When quite young into the Cariboo after gold, and we quired claims on the Jack of Clubs creek, which he is now developing. He went to trouble to study the principles of gold loeation and notic ed that the best placers in Cariboo were located just north of the highest groupd in the district, not far from Barkerville. Furthermore (he gold steatum seemed to run in a north westerly and south-westerly direction. These observations were of particular importance, for on them he based de- ductions which had a bearing on the finding of the first gold near the pres- ent city of Dawson in the summer of 1895. the dis- istrict CCL McDougall, of hand- {worge this connec eurly interest discos shows, moreover, McDougall went some had a bear- Port eon- An incident which also ing on the discovery occurred at Hownsend, Wash. After suffering siderable financial loss in the fire which destroved Vancouver in 1386, McDon- Fpatt-enpaged-- in contracting, and hr 1889 obtained the work of improving the streets of Port Townsend. While there he met one of the older inhab- itants, who told him in a moment of reminiscence of an old time Mexican miner who weed to pan out gold on the water front, making $1 to $2.00 a dav. it was thought that the gold was washed in from a reef in the bay. McDougall was satisfied that it came from an auriferous - streak of gravel above the sand in a big bluff in which he wae making a cut. At one Lime part of this bluff had slid down to the shore of the bay, but as grass had grown over it the slide was not ticed, Meflougal demonstrated theury w correct, amd the discov ery great excitement at the time Lad caused The early 90's on the Pacific coast wera Very, dull.

On the same boat was William 8. Lansing, a prospector from Montana, who had gone north in 1383 and had | struck gold up the Stewart river.

He was told of the workings of French-Canadians | at the head of Sixty Mile and at the head of Forty Mile, these two creeks | coming almost together at their sources, When he was told by Lansing that the workings on the Stewart were twor--hundred--miles--in--a-southeasterly direction from the head of the Forty!

Eventually he got Lansing to draw on the bdliard table in the Occidental Hotel at Juneau a rough map of the Yukon river, with its tributaibes, the Stewart, the Forty Mile and the Sixty Mile. 'Lhis showed the Moose Pasture close to what was then known as Reindeer Creek, and almost on the Yukon river. This map wai much studied by the litile party of argonauts at Juneau, where they We delaved 5 month-wwaitiog. "Aor late snow-storms on the pass to cease, : "When we wo in," McDougall said to his partners, "we ih prospect, there, drawing a<semicircle on the north side of the Moose Pasture. It is a remark- able fact that this semicircle included the best paying ground of the late Yukon discoveries, At Juneau at the time brothers engaged in halibut fishing who had been in Port send when McDougall had located the gold in the blufl.

In the remaming summer months of 1995 they pannéd out about $2,000 and went back to Forty Mile. This was the first gold taken out of the Klondike Both men drank, and delighted, when under the influence of liquor, to boast of their displayed the map whenever occasion offered, At Forty Mile they met George Carmack, who bought game for disposal. Car mack saw that his camp was in the Pheart-- of the. semicircle, on Rapid (Bonanza) creek. Other ' prospectors also saw the map and heard the tale Among them were Robert and a man named Hunker, When the spring. thaw came Hart out of money, accepted the offer of Me Questen, a steamboat "man, to go down the Yukon river and fix up a steamer.
