DAWSON CITY, or DAWSON

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 874 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAWSON CITY, or DAWSON , the
capital
  of the
Yukon
  territory, Canada, on the right bank of the
Yukon
  river, and in the
middle
  of the Klondyke gold region, of which it is the distributing centre. It is situated in beautiful mountainous country, 1400 ft. above the sea, and 1500 M. from the mouth of the Yukon river. It is reached by a
fleet
  of river steamers, and has telegraphic communication. Founded in 1896, its
population
  soon reached over 20,000 at the height of the gold
rush
 ; in 1901 it was officially returned as 9142, and is now not more than 5000. The temperature varies from 9o F. in summer to 5o below zero in winter. It possesses three
opera
 -houses and numerous hotels, and is a typical
mining
  town, though even at first there was much less lawlessness than is usually the
case
  in such cities.
