N. A. Fuller
A syndicate headed by L. Pelletier installed a telephone system in Dawson at the end of June 1898 in competition to O'Brien's Pioneer Telephone Company. It was probably purchased by N.A. Fuller in the same year. Sylvester Scovel, an eccentric correspondent of the New York Herald, was Fuller's manager. By 1899, Fuller owned both telephone companies and merged them into the Yukon Telephone Company. By 1900, Donald B. Oleson, manager of the Dawson Electric Light and Power Co. and one of the few Dawsonites with knowledge of contemporary technology, was also managing the telephone company. By 1901, there was 140 telephones in the city and 26 along the creeks. Fuller owned the company until 1907 when it and the utility assets were acquired by the Northern Light, Power and Coal Co. This company was acquired by Joe Boyle in 1913.1)
The Coal Creek development bought out the Dawson City Electric Light and Power Co. in about 1911. Joe Boyle leased the facilities for a time to supply power for his many mining ventures. A lengthy court battle cancelled the contract in 1914. The North Klondike Hydro station put an end to coal-generated electricity.2)
