Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation : The Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation (Y.C.G.C.), a gold mining company, was incorporated on 14 April 1923 with the object of consolidating and developing gold mine holdings in the Yukon Territories. Major Francis James de Mallett Cunynghame was President of Y.C.G.C. in 1924 and Arthur Newton Christian Treadgold held the position from 1925 to 1932. Treadgold (1863-1950) was involved in the consolidation from 1900 to 1929 and was the driving force behind the creation of the Y.C.G.C. He was relieved of his position as trustee of the Corporation and ordered to give up his shares after being convicted, in 1933, of fraudulent ownership of shares in the Company.

Companies acquired by the Y.C.G.C. from 1923 to 1929 included two of the most important operations in the gold mining areas in the Klondike, namely North West Coroporation Ltd. and Burrall & Baird Ltd. The New North West Corporation was a mining company formed in 1921 from its predecessor, the North West Corporation Ltd. When it was bought by Y.C.G.C. in 1929, it had controlling interest in four subsidiaries: Dominion Mining Co. Ltd., Big Creek Mining Co. Ltd., Calder Mining Co. Ltd. and Sulphur Mining Co. Ltd. The other major company bought by the Y.C.G.C., Burrall & Baird Ltd., was formed in 1918 from the Canadian Klondike Mining Co. Ltd. It controlled both the Deap Vale and Dago Hill companies.

Other companies included in the consolidation were the Yukon Gold Co. of New York and the Granville Mining Co. Ltd., a company owned by A.N.C. Treadgold. Major dredging and hydraulicking operations in the Klondike during Y.C.G.C.'s first decades of operation were in the rich alluvial gold fields along the Klondike River and Dominion, Bonanza, Hunker, Sulphur and Quartz Creeks. In later years the corporation became involved in base metal explorations, oil, and hydro-electric power and other utilities.
