In 1897 the Yukon territory (Canada) gold-rush peeked after huge deposits of nuggets were found in Klondyke river, near Alaska. Thousands of poor people hastily went there, even if many had to sell about all they owned for voyage and equipment. The land routes being inhumanely severe, river boats were built rapidly, many of which stranded in the rapids, earning their owners either a fortune or ruin.
