Ole Sigurd Lunde (1909 – 1993)
	
Ole Lunde was born in Norway.((“Ole Sigurd Lunde.” //Find a Grave,// 2024 website: Ole Sigurd Lunde (1909-1993) - Find a Grave Memorial)) He was bar mining on the Stewart River in the 1930s.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 28.)) In 1940, he was attracted to Dublin Gulch by the growing success of Fred Taylor and Ed Barker. The price of tungsten, a metal hardener, increased during the Second World War. In 1942, a government road was completed to Haggart Creek and Dublin Gulch, an area rich in scheelite, an important tungsten ore. Hugo Seaholm, Ole Lunde, and Bob Swanson produced more than two tons of sheelite concentrate from Dublin Gulch. Fred Taylor went to serve in the army for four years and leased his property to Ole Lunde and another miner.((Michael Gates, //Dublin Gulch: A History of the Eagle Gold Mine.// Lost Moose, 2020: 23, 25.)) Lunde was partners with Bob Swanson.((H.S. Bostock, //Pack Horse Tracks – recollections of a geologists life in British Columbia and the Yukon 1924 – 1954.// Yukon Geoscience Forum, 1990: 197.)) 

There was no one mining on Dublin Gulch in 1949 as  the price of gold was stagnant and the price of goods were rising.((Michael Gates, //Dublin Gulch: A History of the Eagle Gold Mine.// Lost Moose, 2020: 26.)) In the mid-1960s and into the 1980s, Ole Lunde mined for gold on Gold Bottom Creek, a tributary of Hunker Creek, near Dawson.((The Dawson City Museum, photos 2013.1.8.9-PER and 2013.1.19.5-PER.))
