Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geological Survey: Summary Report, 1925, Part A
Galena hill is 120 miles east of Dawson and 27 miles in a straight line northeast of Mayo on Stewart river, a tributary of Yukon river. During the season of open navigation there is a regular steamship service on Stewart and Yukon rivers between Mayo, Dawson, and Whitehorse. Railway service between Whitehorse and Skagway, on the Pacific coast, is available the year round. In winter, Mayo may be reached by stage from Whitehorse. A wagon road from Mayo passes along the base of the southeastern slope of Galena hill and continues to the town of Keno a mile farther on. At present an ungraded branch road connects several mineral claims on the upper northwest slope of the hill with the main road, and a somewhat shorter road with a better grade is being constructed for hauling ore to the main road. On the northwest side of the hill an old road, passing through the Silver King property, joins the Mayo road to the southwest.
