George Devore
	
George Devore was an American marine.((G. I. Cameron interview in //Fort Selkirk Oral History.// YTG Heritage Branch, 1984.)) He built a cabin at Fort Selkirk in the early 1930s and trapped in the area in the winter. In the summer he mined on the Selwyn River. Devore’s wife [Nina Fox Devore] died [in September 1940].((Yukon Historic Sites, #20 the Devore Cabin in the //Fort Selkirk// booklet.))
	
In 1941, Devore was mining on Senora Gulch. Klines and Senora gulches cut into a terrace above the Hayes Creek valley. Devore was working a pay streak lying on a hard sandy layer in the overburden and he claimed to be recovering $65 to $90 per week. Hugh Bostock surmised that there was a gold bearing channel extending between the gulches. Hayes Creek was formerly called the east fork of the Selwyn River. Devore had his four-year-old son with him and Hugh judged he was suffering from a lack of fresh food.((H.S. Bostock, //Pack Horse Tracks – recollections of a geologists life in British Columbia and the Yukon 1924 – 1954.// Yukon Geoscience Forum, 1990: 187.))
After Devore sold his holdings and left the region, his cabin at Fort Selkirk was taken over the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer G.I. Cameron. The building is more ornate than others at Fort Selkirk, possibly due to Mrs. Devore’s influence. Fort Selkirk is a territorial historic site.((Yukon Historic Sites, #20 the Devore Cabin in the //Fort Selkirk// booklet.))
