Shiuhyi "Jimmy" Sugiyama (d. 1949)
	
Jimmy Sugiyama mined on Ten Mile Creek and Brewer Creek in the Dawson area in 1914-15.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 456.)) In the late 1920s, he and Massa Sakata were in the cookhouse staff at the mess hall in Wernecke.((Yukon Archives, Bill Hare fonds, 82/814 #6960, photo caption.)) Sugiyama bought the Galena Hotel in Keno from Harry Yamasaki.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 456.)) Sugiyama had a reputation of never turning a hungry man away.((Yukon Archives, John Scott forward to collection 82/308.))
	
In 1936, Sugiyama posted a notice on his hotel door: "I am closing my hotel business in Keno and I am going mining. All those owing accounts, please pay at once. Jimmy Sugiyama, Keno, YT." Jimmy Sugiyama and his partner Fred Osata did find ore on their claim. Sugiyama sank a shaft on a prospect on Galena Hill in 1930, worked on it full time in 1936, and kept the claim until 1949 when the public administrator sold the property. His name lives on in the district with the Sugiyama vein.((Yukon Historical & Museums Association newsletter, February 2008; Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 456.))
