August 15, 1921 – “The mail received in Dawson July 26 by the mining recorder brought 55 more applications for claims staked in the Mayo district, says the Dawson News. This makes approximately 600 claims in that area applied for this season, raising the total mineral locations now alive in the Mayo area to 1,500.

The greater number of these claims are on Keno Hill and most of the others on hills adjacent to Keno. Quartz Recorder Gillespie and others of the gold office are busy receiving and filing the applications and diagrams and issuing grants.

Of the applications received yesterday about two-thirds are for locations made on Galena Hill. Something like 50 claims have been staked there. A few were staked last fall and others since the snow went off this spring.

Arrivals yesterday from Mayo brought word that the first stakings on Galena this spring were on the Duncan Creek side, but that since the middle of this month a new find has attracted attention on the westerly or Galena Creek side, toward the McQuesten valley.

About 30 men are said to have joined in a stampede over the hill from Duncan Creek and Keno City between July 17 and 20, and to have staked, and others were reported going over to stake at the time the last advices were received from there.”
