George Gordon
	
George Gordon homesteaded Gordon's Landing on the Stewart River in 1902.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 379.)) In 1904, Messrs. Gordon and Davidson located and cut out a route for an all-season road from Gordon to Duncan creek, eleven miles away. Dominion Land Surveyor Joseph Keele thought it was a practical solution and a shorter route than the one available at the time.((Joseph Keele, "The Duncan Creek Mining District" in H. S. Bostock, ed., //Yukon Territory: Selected Field Reports of the Geological Survey of Canada 1898 to 1933.// Geological Survey of Canada, 1973: 143.)) Gordon mined for a time on Barker Creek in 1908.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 379.)) During the 1913 rush to the Chisana diggings in Alaska, George Gordon was at Donjek with a large stock of goods, and he established the first store. Others had some goods cached there for the winter.(("Back after a trip up the White River." //Dawson Daily News// (Dawson), 19 August 1913.)) Gordon moved to Mayo around 1915.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 379.))
