Detailed explanation-1: -Of the 30, 000 that arrived in the Klondike, only approximately 4, 000 actually found gold. Some set up and sold claims rather than digging for gold themselves. Along the Klondike river, boom towns formed that were supported by the miners.
Detailed explanation-2: -In August, 1896, Skookum Jim and his family found gold near the Klondike River in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Their discovery sparked one of the most frantic gold rushes in history. Nearby miners immediately flocked to the Klondike to stake the rest of the good claims. Almost a year later, news ignited the outside world.
Detailed explanation-3: -This population boom resulted in the establishment of mines, trading posts, homesteads, and boomtowns, which dramatically increased interactions between Alaska Natives and immigrants. With the sudden arrival of thousands of men, the small tent cities of Skagway and Dyea grew to be prosperous outposts.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Klondike gold rush brought about a rapid advance in the development of the Yukon Territory, which was officially formed by Parliament on 13 June 1898. The gold rush left an infrastructure of supply, support and governance that led to the continued development of the territory.
