The Lord's prayer in unison closed the meeting and the remainder of the afternoOn was spent in quilting, followed by a pot-luck supper. * The Teesday.Starlight group were entertained at a barbecue held at the home or Mrs, Glen McMichael on Tuesday evening. 'Lawn croquet and other games were enjoyed. undergoing an operation. The late Mr, Hamilton always paid high re- spect to his memory and claimed that he was the best man of the expedition. His seamanship, learned from his experience as a sailor in Goderich, helped out on many a trying occasion. He often related that the Canadians going into Daw- son in the ,early days were handi- capped by not having any exper- ience in placer mining. Many Am- ericans who came from California were used to' placer mining which followed the rush to that country in 1849 and fared much better than the Canadians. Mr. Hamilton came home from 'Dawson in July 1900 and was mar- ried and took his bride to the Yukon, where they-remained until 1910. With their son, Thomas, (who now resides in Goderich), they re- turned to Auburn to take up farm- ing, until, 12 years ago, when they moved to the village. Mrs. Ham- ilton compared the present day' travel, 10 that trip which she took nearly 59 years ago, and to the first expedition which took 15 months. Mrs, Hamilton is very active in spite her advanced years. She en- joys friends calling, and is always ready for a game of cards. • by P,FnTette of GENERA!.

She is the oldest living person who was born in 'the village. She was the former Isabelle Wil- son, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs, W. D. :Wilson and attended school at USS No. 5 Hullett., 'She is a member of St. Mark's Anglican Church, the Women's Guild, and is, a charter member of the Auburn Women's Institute, She was married to George Ham- ilton, who passed away 10 years ago, and has one son, Thomas, seven grandchildren and 14 great- grandchildren. Mrs. Hamilton has a wonderful memory and recalls their trip to, •the Yukon early in 1900, during the gold rush. She re- marked that the rush to the Yukon is quite different today than it was When her late husband got the gold fever in 1898. He learned that Duncap Mathe- son had come from Montreal and was-visiting relatives in Goderich. George learned from Duncan that he could join the same company in Montreal and go with them. Hel left here about the middle of March for Montreal where eight Other geld seekers awaited him. Before leaving, '.1. D. Anderson, the leader of the expedition, drew up an agreement 'binding all to remain together for six months. After outfitting at Montreal the party journeyed to Edmonton, where they completed their pur- chases, and then proceeded down the Athabaska to Athabaska Land- ing. Their 12 tons of provisions were taken this far by teams. Here George became a ship carpenter and from lumber purchased from the Hudson's 'Bay Co. built • three sturdy flat-•bottomed,boats, each 21 feet long with an 8 foot beam and three feet deep. They had pointed bows and square sterns and each was equipped with a mast and a sail. The party journeyed down , the Athabasca River, througr Athabas- ca Lake, Slave River, to the Great. Slave Lake. Here at Hoy River the 'voyagers paused long enough to build a church for the Anglican missionary, which was still used a few years ago. They finally came to the mouth of 'Old Crow River on October 3, and as ice was beginning to form it was decided to make camp on a well-wooded island where the abun- dance of lumber would provide logs for building a cabin, Here the long winter in the Arctic was passed in comparatiVe comfort and all en- joyed good health, but Duncan Matheson, who had an attack of acute indigestion. The time was Spent hunting game and in pros- pecting for gold, but on only one occasion did any yellow dust appear in the pan, Mr. Hamilton had taken with him his violin which helped to pass away many pleasant hours. A trip down the Porcupine River to the Yuldni was passed without a mishap. Among the chief objects of interest Were 75 miles of Ram- parts, high walls of rocks Which nature, had painted and coloured, one form in 'particular being an eXcellent representation of an old man and Woman at Fort Yukon, which is •400 mites north of Daw- son, The party broke up, divided the supplies, and from here each one paid for his own transportation up to Dawson by steamer.
