John Zarnowsky 

During the Klondike gold rush, Russian prospector John Zarnowsky staked Claim #17 Eldorado Creek and sold it to Napoleon Picotte and James Hall for $10,000 - $5,000 down and $5,000 on reaching bedrock. The partners reportedly recovered over a million dollars’ worth of gold.((Yukon Archives, Bob Coutts, 78/69 MSS 087 f.7))
