Charles Monroe

Charles Monroe prospected up the Taku River about 1871. He crossed over to Teslin Lake and told William Ogilvie about its location.¹⁾ Charles Monroe and other miners were prospecting at Frances Lake at the time when the Cassiar mines were yielding largely. They reached the lake by the same route as George Dawson. Monroe worked for a short time at the mouth of the Finlayson River. Only two miners were at work on the Pelly River in 1887. Monroe and Langtry were operating on a couple of bars below Granite Canyon where they made $10 to $20 per day.²⁾
