James J. Clements James Clements was likely the “Clemons” that travelled north with Keller, Lamb, Edgar, and Clarence Berry to Forty Mile in 1893.((Alice Edna Berry, //The Bushes and the Berrys.// C.J. Peter Bennet, 1978: 41.)) J.J. Clements staked a Klondike claim with four other men.((American Heroes of the Klondike Gold Rush. Posted May 1, 1998. http://yukonalaska.com/klondike/bystate.html.)) He was listed as the original locator of Claim No. 4 on Eldorado Creek.((Original Locators Bonanza & Eldorado.” Yukon Archives, D. E. Griffith, “Forty-Milers on Parade.” Coutts coll. 78/69 MSS 087 f.5.)) He panned four pans worth $2,000 in total with the largest reported as being worth $775.((Tappan Adney, //The Klondike Stampede,// Vancouver: UBC Press, 1994: 316.)) Anton Stander and Clarence Berry bought controlling interests in Eldorado claims Nos. 4 and 5 and a fraction between 5 and 6.((Tappan Adney, //The Klondike Stampede.// Vancouver: UBC Press, 1994: 328.)) James Clements, the original staker of the full claims, remained a partner. Forty men worked the claims in 1897 and recovered $100,000. Stander then purchased Clements’ interest in Claim No. 4.((//1902 The Dawson News, Golden Clean Up Edition// in “Yukon History.” //Canadian Gold Prospecting Forum,// 2019 website: http://gpex.ca/smf/index.php?topic=17421.20)) Clements left the Yukon in July 1897 with $50,000 in gold. Berry and Stander recovered millions from the claim.((//American Heroes of the Klondike Gold Rush.// 1998 website: http://yukonalaska.com/klondike/bystate.html.))
