Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Klondike Gold Fields, Yukon District, Canada Dawson was established on the bank of the Yukon just below the confluence of the Klondike River. This rapidly became and has since remained the chief commercial centre. When a small force of the N orth - west Mounted Police was first sent into the Yukon District in 1895, in the interests of law and order, it was quartered near Forty-mile River. Later on, this force increased and the circumstances led to the removal of most of the men to Dawson. This place has since become the seat of government for the entire Yukon District. A local administration, with courts of justice and other organizations necessary for the government Of the Yukon district have been established, and the city is now not un provided with most of the requirements of a civilized and progressive community. This report relates almost exclusively to the Klondike gold fields proper. For information relating to the geology and geography of the Yukon district generally, reference may be made to the Report on an Exploration in the Yukon District (reprint, 1898) and to the Summary Report of the Geological Department for 1898.
