Flossie de Atley Flossie de Atley was a favourite subject for a Klondike gold rush era cartoonist with the //Klondike Nugget// who showed her with her finger in her mouth and staring into space. One miner recalled that Flossie could take a man to the cleaners faster and better than any other girl in town. That was saying a lot because there were many in town that were adept. She would say she had a sick brother in a sanatorium outside and needed money to travel.((Jay Moynahan, //Gold Rush Girls of the Klondike 1896 – 1901.// Spokane: Chickadee Publishing, 2008: 26.))
