Yukon who is who

Billy Chappell

Billy Chappell mined Claim No. 27 on Eldorado in the early 1900s. He took Jeremiah Lynch around his claim and down to the bottom of a shallow shaft only fifteen feet deep. The ground was thawed at the base and he panned out twenty-five pounds of dirt to get $240 in coarse dark nuggets. Chappell phoned down to Charley Worden at Stanley and Worden’s claim No. 24 on Eldorado. He bet Warden could not get as much gold from a pan, and he won as the pan from No. 24 weighed only $224. The Eldorado kings were generous in their warm hospitality.¹⁾
