Jack M. Stewart
	
Jack Stewart was a one-time sparring partner of Gentleman Jim Corbett, the father of modern boxing techniques.((John Firth, //The Caribou Hotel: Hauntings, hospitality, a hunter, and a parrot.// John Firth/Caribou Hotel, 2019: 71.)) 

In 1900, prospectors Jack Pooley, Jack Stewart, and Ira Petty prospected on Montana Mountain, and staked the Mountain Hero claim.((“The Windy Arm Aerial Tramways.” Engineers Yukon 2019 website: http://www.apey.yk.ca/early_yukon_engineering_projects.php)) Stewart and Pooly found silver at 2,600 feet above Windy Arm on Tagish Lake in 1900. They staked Venus I and Venus II.((Ken L. Elder, ed., “No. 15. Conrad and the Venus Mine." //Study Tour of the Yukon and Alaska,// 1990.))
	
In 1910, Jack Stewart owned a freighting business hauling equipment and goods for the Conrad Mines on Montana Mountain near Carcross. He financed the building of the Caribou Hotel for Bessie and Edwin Gideon after the original building burned in 1909. The new twenty-room hotel was designed by architect J.J. Killam and included the latest in building techniques. Its final cost was about $14,000.((John Firth, //The Caribou Hotel: Hauntings, hospitality, a hunter, and a parrot.// John Firth/Caribou Hotel, 2019: 71-72.))
	
In mid-April 1910, Jack Stewart moved the Vendome Hotel thirty miles from Bennett to Carcross. The building was loaded on bobsleds, one under each corner, and six horses yanked it over the ice.  The Vendome was at one time the best hostelry in Conrad. Stewart planned to use the building as a store.((//Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 29 April 1910.)) The Vendome became part of the current Matthew Watson store.
