Yukon. Before Klondyke was discovered, or even the first log of Circle had been laid, the Yukon Press was an institution of the country. The printing press, type, etc., was a gift to St. James Mission, at the month of the Tanana, and arrived in the spring of 1892-1893. The same summer the missionary at St. James, the Rev. J. L. Prevost, gathered together at St. Michael such pioneers as Jack McQuesten, Al Mayo, A. Harper, Gordon C. Bettles, and others to suggest the paper and agree upon a name, with the following results: That under the combined efforts of Gordon C. Bettles, George T. Howard, and the present editor, the first periodical was printed on the Yukon was issued on January 1, 1893 (1894) at the mouth of the Tanana.
