Clary Craig, post office worker list of people dying or leaving Klondike
Name Date Address
SPINNEY, DA MAY, 1904 Fairbanks, AK
(Benjamin F. Craig
(13,852 records)
Benjamin F. Craig was a post office worker in Dawson City. He maintained a list of people leaving the Klondike by death or departure. Many of the almost 14,000 entries list forwarding addresses or destinations for those leaving the Klondike. The predominance of Nome, Alaska as one listed destination is consistent with other historical records documenting a mass exodus from Dawson to Nome in 1899. Like a giant nomadic tribe, thousands streamed toward Nome when rumours hit Dawson that there were flakes of gold in the sands of Nome's beaches.)

SPINNEY, D. 23544 08 1899-1900
(Placermining Applications Volume 2 of 2 (16,256 entries)
After gold was discovered in 1896 on Bonanza Creek, thousands of claims were staked along tributaries of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers. The Yukon Gold Commissioner's Office issued Placermining Grants, enabling prospectors to become miners and work their claims for placer findings (mineral deposits containing gold, left by glaciers or rivers ). This, the first of three Placermining Grants volumes, lists almost 20,000 numbered grants and the names of their owners.)
