Clinton Creek, Yukon

Clinton Creek was a company owned and operated asbestos mining town in the western Yukon near the confluence of the Yukon and Fortymile Rivers. It operated from 1966 to 1978, when it was closed and the buildings auctioned off. These photos were taken between 1972 and 1974 and have been scanned in from slides. The Cassiar... do you remember? website at www.cassiar.ca is devoted to keeping alive the memories of the now-closed company mining towns of Cassiar, British Columbia, Clinton Creek, Yukon Territory, and their former residents.

I was there in 71, 72. seeing the bunkhouses and the dining room was a rush. I worked in the mill and shipping.I still have pics of Roxanne in the post office and playing shuffle board in the malamute.. I ended up there with Paul Mitchell and Robbie Hemmings..Peter takk ,Cliff, Gord. we all went down to California together. We formed the united mine workers at the time. Helped with the building of the El Dorado hotel in Dawson. Diamond tooth Gerdies and the can can dancing, robert service cabin. I worked in the mill and shipping and receiving loading the trucks. what a wonderful time in my life. I came out from Momtreal..... boy was I green

Strange how pictures of a place I only truly know of from the name on my birth certificate, bring a sense of belonging. According to my folks Lindsay and Barbra Buck, I was the last person to be born in Clinton Creek, may 6th 1978. Could never find any picture in my mom or dads things. Thank you for the amazing pictures.

I wish to have met you...Rae, Bernadette, Judi. Hopefully you knew Pierre Archambault from Montreal; he was there approximately one year, 1975. I could have driven him to the Yukon via my Toyota Corona but stayed behind; so sorry now. If you knew Pierre, he was blond and handsome (ladies loved him)...he may have moved to the town itself...he knew an Indian girl while he was there. Pierre and I met later in Montreal and I stayed with him for 2 years or so...off and on. Please tell me anything you can about the years you spent at Clinton Creek....I would ever so appreciate it!

Great photos Rae. I was in Clinton Creek from 1973 - 1978 and have just moved and found my Yukon mementoes box that had been in storage for over 15 years,so have been reliving some old memories. Thought I would try Goggle for Clinton and found your photos - really enjoyed them and will mark it, to show friends. Thanks Judi
