"THE MINER'S TEN COMMANDMENTS" # VII
Thou shalt not grow discouraged, nor think of going home before thou has made thy "pile," because thou hast not "struck a lead," nor found a "rich crevice," nor sunk a hole upon a "pocket," lest in going home thou shalt leave four dollars a day, and go to work, ashamed, at fifty cents, and serve thee right; for thou knowest by staying here, thou mightst strike a lead and fifty dollars a day and keep thy manly self-respect and then go home with enough to make thyself and others happy.

We want the gold and we STILL seek it …
The Millar Family in (2006)
If you’re planning a trip to Yukon, Canada’s True North, we’d like to invite you to visit our operating placer gold mine located in the historic gold fields of the famous Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.
Unique
The only authentic operating placer gold mine tour in the Klondike
Educational
See placer gold mining as we do it today; learn the processes, from staking a claim to selling the gold and all that's between; compare the historical methods to the modern technologies, and hear our stories about life in the Klondike goldfields.
Fun
Placer gold mining is serious business, but trying your hand at gold panning in the creek is challenging fun and everyone who visits gets to try it. No guarantee is provided, you get to take your chances just like the old-timers -- will you find the lucky strike or head home disappointed?
