View of the Klondike before bridge was built across the Yukon. In the distance the guard of Northwestern Mounted Police is seen to cross the rushing waters of the Yukon followed by Lord and Lady Minto, Gov. Ogilvie, Mrs. McDonald, wife of Alex. McDonald, called the King of the Klondike, Major Wood, of the Northwest Mounted Police, Barney Sagrue, Wilson and others. As they cross the river on horseback, the waters of the Yukon are seen rushing past, almost carrying the horses off their feet.
