John Horace "Jack" Hayden
	
Jack Hayden drove a stage in Colorado, was a cowboy in Texas, joined the Klondike stampede, and moved on to Alaska. He ended up in the Kluane district almost broke and started trapping.((Allen A. Wright, "Kluane" draft manuscript, Yukon Archives, MSS 131 83/21.)) He had a reputation as a mountain man and he did some outfitting and guiding.((John Theberge ed., //Kluane Pinnacle of the Yukon.// Doubleday & Co. Inc. 1980: 118.)) Hayden brought his seasons furs into Whitehorse in 1924 and was pleased with the prices he received which ran up into four figures. He said that trappers could do better selling their furs in Whitehorse than by shipping them out. He bought his year's supplies and returned to Kluane.(("Local Interest." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 20 June 1924.)) 
John Hayden and Anne Boss, daughter of Johnny Ned, married in 1925.((YG Historic Sites, Silver City chronology.)) One of Hayden’s sons was ill with appendicitis in the winter of 1934 and the trip to Whitehorse was a seven-day trip by dogsled over an unbroken trail.((Allen A. Wright, "Kluane" draft manuscript, Yukon Archives, MSS 131 83/21.))
	
In October 1934, Morley Bones sold his homestead and fox farm on Kluane Lake to Jack Hayden.((Michael Gates, “Searching for Morley Bones.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 25 November 2011.)) Hayden moved his family from their previous location at the north end of Kluane Lake, near the outlet into the Kluane River, and took over Morley Bones' house at Silver City.(("Principles and Practices of Heritage Interpretation." Environmental Studies, Yukon College. May 4 - 18, 1999. Interpretive talk with Josie Sias, May 6, 1999.)) The Haydens were living at Silver City when the US Army came through to build the Alaska Highway.((Interview with Joe Jacquot, May 1983, YG Heritage Branch files.)) In 1942, Hayden had a wind turbine that he used for pumping water and generating electricity.((Yukon Archives, Robert Hays fonds photo 5705, July 1942.))
	
Hayden lost almost his whole family to tuberculosis and a drowning at Whitehorse. He became an abusive husband, and his wife shot him. Everyone in the area came to her defence.(("Principles and Practices of Heritage Interpretation." Environmental Studies, Yukon College. May 4 - 18, 1999.
