About this Item

A complete compilation of mining and public land laws for the Northwest Territory, British Columbia, and Alaska in force at the peak of the Klondike Gold Rush in early 1898. The publication barely precedes the 1898 Yukon Act, which established the Yukon as a separate territory with its own government body. The Canadian Department of Interior's "Official Map of the Yukon River and Its Tributaries" (1897) is reproduced in the preliminary leaves. Gilbert Wyman was a California lawyer based in the Bay Area, and he compiled and published these laws himself. WICKERSHAM 4477. 12mo. Contemporary legal calf, gilt morocco labels. Calf a bit scuffed and rubbed. Very clean internally. Very good.
