Henry Siemer
	
Coal was first located on Coal Creek by Henry Siemer about 1900.((Eric Johnson, //Mining Railways of the Klondike.// B.C. rail guide. Pacific Coast Division, Canadian Railroad Historical Association, 1995.)) James Williams opened the Coal Creek Coal Mine on property adjacent to the Sourdough Mine in 1903.((Bob Mitchell, Report on the Cultural Resources at Coal Creek, Volume 1, 1992: 2.)) The Coal Creek Coal Co. (CCCCo) was incorporated in January 1903 with Siemer, miner, as a charter member. Falcon Joslin was the promoter and broker. In August 1905 a load of coal was brought in from a new mine eight miles below Forty Mile and from Coal Creek. This coal was to be used at the firehall. The coal came from the Sourdough Mine, owned by Siemer and Cameron. The Sourdough was independent from the CCCCo but in 1907 the two companies were acquired by Grant and Fuller under the name of the Sour Dough Coal Company. N.A. Fuller was president and general manager of the Yukon Telephone Syndicate, a company closely associated with the Dawson Electric Light and Power. In 1909, the Sour Dough/Coal Creek company sold their interests to the Northern Light, Power and Coal Company.((Eric Johnson, //Mining Railways of the Klondike.// B.C. rail guide.
