Louis Engle (1904 - 1974)

Louie Engle was prospecting in the Livingstone area as early as the 1930s.((Leslie Hamson, “Livingstone Creek, Yukon: A Compendium History.” Prepared for Heritage Resources, Yukon Government, May 2006: 8-9.)) 

In June 1953, Louise Engle got sick from food poisoning.(("Aviation History of Livingstone Creek" in Leslie Hamson, “Livingstone Creek, Yukon: A Compendium History.” Prepared for Heritage Resources, Yukon Government, May 2006: 46-46.)) Stan Cletheroe walked to Whitehorse in twenty-five hours non-stop. He left at 9:00 and got to Whitehorse at 10:00 the next day. He went to Laberge and borrowed a boat to cross the lake to the farm market. He used the phone there to call a taxi for the $15 ride to the RCMP station and then Gordon Cameron arranged a chartered plane.((Yukon Government, Stan Cletheroe interview with Doug Olynyk, June 1, 1993.))

In the late 1950s, Engle found a 21 1/2 ounce nugget on his Livingstone Creek claim. Constellation Mines was formed in 1971 to mine Engle's claims and others in the area.((Leslie Hamson, “Livingstone Creek, Yukon: A Compendium History.” Prepared for Heritage Resources, Yukon Government, May 2006: 8-9.))
