George Stevens
George Stevens led the prospecting south of the big bend after the Stagnar and Hodnett strike in the Wheaton River district. He staked the Wheaton Claim on 1 August 1906. Wheaton, Sunrise and Golden Slipper, all on the eastern slope of Mt. Stevens, became the Buffalo Hump group - named after the north crest of the mountain. By the fall of 1908, a government road was completed to the Sunrise group of claims on Mt. Stevens about twenty-two miles from Robinson. By 1909, the road was completed another twenty miles to Carbon Hill. Lottie Anderson of Iron River, Michigan purchased the Buffalo Hump group from George Stevens in 1916.1) Stevens suffered a stroke in June 1924 when he was at his cabin at Robinson. He was brought to the hospital in Whitehorse by train and remained there for a year before he left the Yukon for Michigan in June 1925. Stevens had mined in the Wheaton River district since 1905.2)
