 Cadzow stopped at David Lord Creek where there was good fishing for whitefish. He sold the fish to miners who were going past. From there he travelled down to Fort Yukon and up to Black River, Alaska. He made good money selling the fish there and started a trading post at Fish Hook Town on Black River. He moved up to Rampart House in 1904.((Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Shirleen Smith, //People of the Lakes.// The University of Alberta Press: 2009: 134-135.))
-Rampart House is on the Porcupine River at the Yukon/Alaska border, the site of an old Hudson’s Bay Co. post. Daniel and Monica Njootli were married at Rampart House in 1909. Their house was elegant and comfortable, built when Cadzow’s business flourished between 1911 and 1922. He replaced the old Hudson Bay Co. buildings with a store and a warehouse and had a 43-foot steamer for getting down the Porcupine River to Fort Yukon, Alaska.((“Daniel Cadzow, Yukon frontiersman: 1866 – 1929.” Cadzow an ancient family of Scotland, 2021 website:  http://cadzowhistory.org/daniel-cadzow-yukon-frontiersman/)) Cadzow brought in some fiddles and Archie Linklater taught some of the boys how to play. The musicians were in high demand at Christmas and events.((“Rampart House.” Yukon Historic Sites, 2010: 3.))

He stayed with the Cadzows in the old mission building, purchased from the Hudson’s Bay Company. Cadzow had two First Nation employees who were travelling to Fort Yukon, so Stringer arranged to travel with them – a week-long trip.((F.A.

 Cadzow faced competition from other traders and had high costs for freighting goods. He got into legal trouble with the Alaskan government when he did not get permits for cutting firewood to run his steamer. His Alaska property was seized in 1925 and the next year his boat was seized as well. He was refused credit in 1927 and went bankrupt.((“Rampart House.” Yukon Historic Sites, 2010: 3.))
