George E. Pulham
	
George Pulham was a sergeant in the North-West Mounted Police in 1898. On 4 June, he arrived in Bennett with $27,487 from the customs collection and an order for it to be taken outside.((Jim Wallace, //Forty Mile to Bonanza: The North-West Mounted Police in the Klondike Gold Rush.// Calgary: Bunker to Bunker Publishing, 2000.)) After he quit the Force he started working for White Pass & Yukon Route and became the superintendent in charge of mail. In the fall of 1901, he made the fastest time to date on the Whitehorse Dawson Overland Trail of three days and ten hours. Under Pulham’s management, WP&YR produced a regular and even luxurious means of reaching Dawson from Whitehorse. The Whitehorse end of the line was looked after by Assistant Superintendent H. Wheeler and the stage drivers had years of experience in the north.((“A Record Breaker.” //The White Horse Star// (Whitehorse), 9 April 1902 reprinted in //The Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 31 July 2012 and 31 July 2014.)) G. E. Pulham was the Mail Service Superintendent for White Pass & Yukon Route in White Horse in 1905.((White Pass & Yukon Route brochure, 1 November 1905.))
