Emil Stauf
	
Emil Stauf arrived in Dawson in the summer of 1898 with no mining experience and low on funds. He established himself as a real estate broker for the Harper and Ladue Townsite Co.((//Dawson Daily News// (Dawson), 9 May 1905 in Ed and Star Jones, //All That Glitters.// Whitehorse: Wolf Creek Books, 2005: 303 footnote 153.)) 

The 165-ton sternwheeler //Prospector// was built in Whitehorse in 1901 by Emil Stauf and H.E. Ridley. It ran on the side streams operated by the Stewart River Co.((W.D. McBride, "Saga of Famed Packets and other Steamboats of Mighty Yukon River." //Caribou & Northwest Digest,// Spring 1949: 104.)) Stockholders in the //Prospector// included W. Meed, Capt. Smyth, Capt. [J.S.] Ritchie, H.C. Davis, Emil Stauf, H.E. Ridley, W.D. Rainbow, and C.V. Anthony. Capt. Ritchie was the pilot.((//The Daily Klondike Nugget,// (Dawson), 26 June 1901 in Robert D. Turner, //The Klondike Gold Rush Steamers.//Sono Nis Press, 2015: 191.)) The //Prospector// was sold to the British Yukon Navigation Co. [in date?]((W.D. McBride, "Saga of Famed Packets and other Steamboats of Mighty Yukon River." //Caribou & Northwest Digest,// Spring 1949: 104.))

Emil Stauf left Dawson in the fall of 1904 with considerable earnings from real estate and also an inheritance from Erena Harper, Arthur Harper’s second wife. He continued his real estate partnership in Dawson with Dufferin Pattullo and formed the Stauf-Berghausen Liquor Co., with office in California, Chicago, and New York City.((//Dawson Daily News// (Dawson), 9 May 1905 in Ed and Star Jones, //All That Glitters.// Whitehorse: Wolf Creek Books, 2005: 303 footnote 153.))
