Charley Worden
	
Charley Worden and two Stanley brothers drifted to the Klondike from Seattle in the early gold rush days and each located on a claim – Nos 25, 26, and 27 on Eldorado. They were 500 feet in length and from side to side of the valley – no matter how wide. Each of these claims produced an independent fortune with very little labour or expense.  Bedrock was close to the surface, twenty feet being the average.((Jeremiah Lynch, //Three Years in the Klondike.// Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1967: 106-109.))

Around 1900, Jeremiah Lynch and Billy Chappell stopped by for a visit. Chappell had phoned down to Charley Warden at Stanley and Worden’s claim No. 24 on Eldorado. He had panned out $450 in coarse nuggets from his claim No. 27 on Eldorado. He bet Warden could not get as much gold from a pan and he won as the pan from No. 24 was only $224. After supper the neighbours dropped in including two women, the only ones in the radius of couple of miles among five hundred miners. There was an impromptu dance with Charley Warden as the leader. The men played fiddle, guitar, and flute. Once in a while they would go to the Forks [Grand Forks] and give them a concert. The Eldorado kings were generous in their warm hospitality.((Jeremiah Lynch, //Three Years in the Klondike.// Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1967: 106-109.))
