Prince Antone. One can readily discover contentment on the face of this gentleman, although the background to his figure is nothing better than a cosy log cabin. There is an air of domesticity about the scene that will appeal to many an ambitious man who has gone to risk everything in the Klondike. This photograph was taken at Birch Creek where Mr. Antone has struck it rich and was making himself comfortable as far as the surroundings would permit. Gold was discovered in the neighborhood of Birch Creek in 1893, and since then it has had a big run of popularity. From Circle City, which is eight miles from Birch Creek, a trail leads right away over the hills to the mines on Independence and Mastodon Creeks.  (Frank La Roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898)  Klondike Gold Rush.
