HISTORY INDEX ATLINTO LODGE NO. 42 YUKON LODGE NO. 45 WHITEHORSE LODGE NO. 46 Freemasonry in the Yukon Territory by W. Bro. Dennis M. Eve The Yukon Territory, an area of 186,661 square miles in the extreme northwest of Canada, lies directly north of the province of British Columbia, with the Northwest Territories to the east and the USA state of Alaska to the west. In the north it stretches well above the Arctic Circle to border the Beaufort Sea. Its capital is the City of Whitehorse. The mighty Yukon River from its source at the Llewellyn Glacier, high above Atlin Lake in northwestern British Columbia, runs for a distance of approximately 2,300 miles, northwards through the Yukon Territory, via the cities of Whitehorse and Dawson City, continuing westwards across Alaska to the Yukon delta where it empties into the Bering Sea, South of Norton Sound. It is not my intention to present a geography lesson, but it is of course necessary to make sure you are aware in what direction we will be travelling together! The Yukon River is the main artery that has, since time immemorial been the waterway that was once the arteries of life in the communities of the Yukon Territory. As the source of the river is in the south and the river flows northward from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Downstream would therefore be north and people still say "down north" or "I'm going down to Dawson" for the week-end. So a visitor of course would ask. "Down to Dawson? Isn't it up north?"

These stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and are an important part of the Yukon First Nations culture. Along with these stories, archaeologists theorize that the first people crossed a land bridge from Asia to northern Canada during the Pleistocene Ice Age between 10,000 to 25,000 years ago. This link between continents was estimated to be 2,400 kilometres wide. The growth of glaciers lowered sea levels and exposed portions of continental shelves which created this broad land bridge. Parts of northern Alaska and Yukon remained ice-free during the last ice age and provided a haven for many animals and humans fleeing from colder regions. Archaeologists suggest early inhabitants of the Yukon hunted woolly mammoths, bison, horses and caribou. They lived in small family groups which travelled with the animals. The earliest evidence of human activity was found in caves on the Bluefish River near Old Crow in northern Yukon. Stone tools and animal bones found at this site were estimated to be 20,000 years old.

Marketplace Friday June 12, 2009 By Heidi Loos Chris Colbourne/Yukon News Denis Godin is all smiles after winning gold in the post-secondary division of mechanical computer assisted drafting during the Canada Skills competition in PEI recently. Two weeks after the Skills Canada Competition in Charlottetown, PEI, 17-year-old Yukoner Denis Godin reveals he is still shocked by the outcome of event. Godin won gold, but it came as a surprise. Other people probably got some pictures though, says Godin with a shrug. He may not have a picture, but the event was flashed into the minds of his teammates and supporters in the crowd. Watching Godin receive this medal was emotionally overwhelming, says Dan Curtis, executive director of Skills Canada Yukon. Godin competed in the post-secondary division of mechanical CAD, (computer assisted drafting), and was up against four other competitors, the best of the best from British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. The drafting participants had to compete in four different competitions: part modelling, blueprint reading, assemblies, and parametric modelling. It entailed two competitions per day, each three hours long.

A large number of apparently human-modified animal bones were discovered in the Old Crow area in the northern Yukon that have been dated to 25,000–40,000 years ago by carbon dating The central and northern Yukon were not glaciated , as they were part of Beringia At about 800 AD, a large volcanic eruption in Mount Churchill near the Alaska border blanketed the southern Yukon with ash. That layer of ash can still be seen along the Klondike Highway . Yukon First Nations stories speak of all the animals and fish dying as a result. Similar stories are told among the Athabaskan -speaking Navajo and Apache , leading to the conclusion by some anthropologists that the migration of Athabaskan peoples into what is now the southwestern United States could have been due to the eruption. After that, the hunting technology saw the replacement of

sitemap services contact us link to us ... Photo Gallery Yukon Information Yukon Road Report Forest Fire Report Northern Lights Forecast Travel Information ... Whitehorse The White Horse Rapids not only gave our city its name, but its reason for being. The White Horse Rapids became known as the greatest peril on the trail of '98. The construction of the Whitehorse hydro-electric dam in 1958 tamed Miles Canyon and has replaced the once foaming White Horse Rapids with Schwatka Lake reservoir. In 1897, two entrepreneurs capitalized on the obstacles presented by the Canyon and the Rapids by building tramways on either side of the river. For a fee, their horse-drawn tram cars carried goods and small boats around the rapids on log rails. A tent town called Canyon City appeared at the head of the tramway on the east bank. A roadhouse and saloon provided lodging and refreshments to the tens of thousands of gold seekers on their way to the Klondike. Shooting Miles Canyon For years, Whitehorse continued its role connecting rail service with riverboat traffic to Dawson. In 1920, the first plane landed. In 1942, thousands of American Army personnel arrived to build the Alaska Highway. In a record breaking 8 months and 23 days, 1534 miles of highway was laid down. The boom ceased by the end of the war, but Whitehorse had become an important centre of communications and transportation. Whitehorse was incorporated as a City in 1950 and in 1953 the capital of the Yukon was transferred from Dawson City to Whitehorse.

In later years, Rolf and his wife Marg had a darkroom in their home, and he developed, printed and enlarged his own photographs. He took some photographs for commercial clients and sold others in the photo department of the family store. He also had a personal interest in preserving Yukon history. Rolf donated his first lot of negatives to the Yukon Archives more than 25 years ago. He recently donated another thousand images and there is another thousand or more to go. These photos in this exhibit are just some of the many engaging images that you can see in his collection at the Yukon Archives.

The massive Cordilleran ice sheet advanced over southern Yukon at least six times during the last 2.5 million years. This continental glacier eroded rocks and left behind debris and unique deposits. The earliest glacial advance changed the directional flow of the Yukon River while other glacial events diverted and dammed rivers, creating huge lakes. Reduced global sea levels and the formation of the Bering land bridge linked Eurasia with North America. The towering St. Elias Mountains cut off precipitation bound for the interior and prevented ice sheets from forming in Beringia . Yukon’s Ice Age was distinct in that west-central and northern Yukon remained ice-free as part of the eastern area of Beringia. This ice-free refuge was a vast cold and arid grassland and home to woolly mammoths, horses and lions. The ice ages and Beringia came to an end approximately 10,000 years ago. Global warming melted the glaciers and the water poured into the oceans. As sea levels rose, the Bering land bridge flooded. Extinction of many ice age mammals changed the face of Yukon forever.

Yukon real estate has slowly grown from a small town that bridged the gap along the railroad from Oklahoma City to El Reno into a thriving community while keeping its finger firmly on the pulse of small-town America. ~ Yukon Demographics Population (2006 estimate) Median Household Income (2005 estimate) Median Home Value (2005 estimate) ~ Yukon History Founded in 1891, Yukon real estate already had several residences and businesses up and running within its first two months of existence thanks to A.N. Spencer. Chief amongst these businesses was the first bank in the city and a couple of real estate offices owned by Spencer's brothers. The city was incorporated in 1901 but didn't have sewer or water services until 1910. There was a streetcar line, or interurban, running between El Reno and Oklahoma City from 1911 through1940, allowing easy transport of Yukon citizens. The streets weren't paved until 1926, when Highway 6 was built.

Home About Yukon Territory Yukon History Log in Stats results of about for Yukon History seconds) Other Cabins Yukon History The Klondike Gold Rush was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and gold prospecting in the Klondike near Dawson City in the Yukon Territory, Canada, after gold was discovered in the late 19th century. The news spread to other mining camps in the Yukon River valley, and the Bonanza, Eldorado and Hunker Creeks were rapidly staked by miners who had been previously working creeks and sandbars on the Fortymile and Stewart Rivers. In a fate that many believe to be poetic justice, Henderson, who was mining only a few miles away over the hill, only found out about the discovery after the rich creeks had been all staked. News reached the United States on July 17, 1897 when the first successful prospectors arrived in Seattle, and within a month the Klondike stampede had begun. The population in the Klondike in 1898 may have reached 40,000, threatening to cause a famine. Most prospectors landed at Skagway at the head of Lynn Canal and crossed by the Chilkoot Trail or White Pass to Bennett Lake. Here, prospectors built boats that would take them the final 500 miles (800 km) down the Yukon River to the gold fields. Stampeders had to carry one ton of goods over the pass to be allowed to enter Canada. At the top of the passes, the stampeders encountered a Mountie post that enforced that regulation. It was put in place to avert shortages like those that had occurred in the previous two winters in Dawson City.

15. Mayo Historical Society, Mayo, Yukon, Canada Summary of published historical book Gold and Galena by the Mayo historical society. Ordering and pricing information. http://www.yukonweb.com/community/mayohistory/

Gold ...it's the catalyst of the imaginations of men. While it brought Mayo its first settlers, silver gave it the prosperity and history that set it apart from the mainstream of Yukon gold-rush lore. The pages of contain many stories of the Mayo district never previously published. It is a history of individuals who may have come to the Yukon hoping to have Midas touch them, but in lieu, developed the silver-bearing galena deposits of its heartland. The central Yukon town of Mayo became the hub from which they would strike out to Keno Hill, Galena Hill, and many other important silver-bearing properties. This book records the region's history from when the first gold seekers mined on the Stewart River bars in 1883 (predating the Klondike Rush by 15 years) to the late 1950's, one of the most active periods of silver mining in the vicinity. The movements of the region's aboriginal people, the Na-Cho Nyak Dun, are summarized from the mid-1800's to the fifties. The book includes a section devoted to personal accounts of individuals and pioneers. For those looking to find lost relatives, there is also a compendium listing 900 names. This publication, rich in detail about Mayo and vicinity, will not only be treasured by those who wish to see the deeds of their friends and relatives, but also by the historian who wishes to study the development of this historic northern community.

GMC Yukon The GMC Yukon was first introduced in 1992 as a full-sized sport utility vehicle to replace the GMC Jimmy. Built to withstand harsh road conditions and with enough enclosed cargo space to easily take all you need with you, the GMC Yukon also incorporated plush features to enable the driver and passengers to ride in comfort and convenience. Though there were no real significant differences between the GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Blazer, or the Yukon and Tahoe in more recent years, both were presented to the public and well received as an option to a less passenger conscious open bed pickup truck. From 1992 until 1994, the GMC Yukon was only available in a two-door model. Wisely increasing ease of use, functionality and appeal to SUV consumers, in 1995 GMC introduced a four door Yukon. Further redesigned for the 2000 model year, the only notable differences between the GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Tahoe were cosmetic, with the GMC Yukon featuring more upscale options.
