Yukon who is who

Philip C. Engle

Corporal P. C. Engle was in the first Yukon detachment of North-West Mounted Police officers to arrive at Forty Mile in 1895.¹⁾ Staff Sergeant Murray Hayne was on the Portland when it docked in Seattle on 17 July 1897 along with other NWMP officers who had staked claims: ex-Sergeant Philip Engel, ex-corporal Eli Newbrook, and ex-Constables Henry Jenkins and Edward Telford. They were reluctant to tell reporters how much gold they had recovered but would only describe it as “good money.” Ex-constable Growler reported he had $50,000 and ex-Constable Ward had $18,000.²⁾
