E.H. Thurston
	
E.H. Thurston was the principal stockholder and manager of the Northern Light and Power Company in May 1910. The company was installing a huge power plant / generator at Coal Creek, a tributary of the Yukon River downriver from Dawson.((//Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 6 May 1910.))
	
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. Pacific Coast Division, Canadian Railroad Historical Association, 1995.))
	
In 1910, the new owners of the company thought they could transmit light and power cheaper than they could transport coal from their mines to Dawson.((//Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 6 May 1910.))
