Like huge stone caterpillars, the telltale dredge tailings of the goldfields testify to the corporate enterprise that spawned the mammoth dredges of the (Guggenheim’s) Yukon Gold Mining Co., and others.

These behemoths roamed the creeks of the Klondike until the early 1960s. Dredge #4 on Bonanza Creek, the largest wooden hull dredge in the world, typifies this legacy. Summertime tours are available.

In this centennial of transportation, the search goes on with new technologies as a modern day Dawson continues to seek the treasure that triggered one of the world’s great gold rushes.
Mining in all its forms remains the #1 industry in the Yukon Territory.
