Title
English: Panoramic view of Dawson, ca. 1903
Description
English:

By 1899, Dawson had a population of around 15,000 people. It had a city government with a volunteer fire department, and its businesses and amenities included 50 to 60 restaurants, a hospital, and four churches. There were 35,000 people in the region, primarily working in the mining industry. By this time, individual miners had been replaced by large mining companies. This photo of Dawson, part of a larger panorama of the city, was probably taken sometime between 1899 and 1905. The long buildings in the lower left center appear to be industrial mining facilities.

Original photograph: between 1899 and 1905. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
