He was prospecting in the area of Circle City, Alaska and Dawson City, Yukon and the diary briefly describes his daily activities, travels, the weather and the amounts of gold being found in the Klondike Gold Fields.

Tom Clark fonds

  • yuk yuk-223
  • Fonds
  • 1898, 1942-1946

The fonds consists of three different groups of b&w photographs. The first are photos from Clark's grandfather, J.D. Stewart, who was in the Klondike before the gold strike in Aug. 1896. He mined on 17 Above Eldorado and worked for a Mr. Sloane who is mentioned in Berton's Klondike. Stewart left the Yukon in the spring of 1897 and moved to Nanaimo where Sloane convinced Stewart to go with him to Atlin and open an assay office. On leaving Atlin he had $2700 and when he went to Skagway he became the last person to be robbed by Soapy Smith. About $2200 was later recovered. Stewart returned to Nanaimo and then was brought back by the Alaskan Territorial government to testify against Smith and his henchmen. These nine photos depict a street scene of Dyea, Alaska, images surrounding the deaths of Frank Reed and Soapy Smith in Skagway, Smith's con men, and photos of J.D. Stewart. Some of these photos were found by Stewart's daughter in Skagway in 1917. The second group are photos taken by Clark from the time he lived in Whitehorse during the 1940s where he worked as an airplane mechanic. These fourteen photos depict scenes of the Whitehorse airport and street scenes of Whitehorse. All the photos show airplanes. The third group of photographs document military and civilian aircraft in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, 1942-1946. These 45 photographs include views of single and multi-engined aircraft, airplane crashes, aircraft being repaired and float planes.
