The Klondike Gold Rush (1896-1899) began when Skookum Jim and his family discovered gold in Canada’s Yukon. News spread, sending 100,000 prospectors north. Many braved the brutal Chilkoot and White Pass Trails, facing harsh weather, steep climbs, and starvation. Towns like Skagway and Dyea boomed as supply hubs, attracting merchants, criminals, and opportunists like Jefferson “Soapy” Smith.
The journey was treacherous—over 3,000 pack animals died on White Pass, and stampeders carried supplies for months before reaching Dawson City, only to find most gold claims already taken. By 1898, Dawson housed 18,000 people, but few struck it rich.
In 1899, news of gold in Nome, Alaska, triggered a mass exodus, ending the rush. Towns declined, and some, like Dyea, vanished. The rush forever changed the region, while Indigenous communities fought to preserve their land and culture amid the frenzy of fortune seekers.

This CIA program consisted of psychics and clairvoyant people, that used mental techniques aka astral projection to perceive distant targets.
In 1988 session, they supposedly found the Ark of the Covenant, which was located in the Middle East, and guarded by entities.
