Title
English: Weighing gold at the Jo Jo Hotel, ca. 1900
Description
English:

During the Klondike and Nome gold rushes, gold dust and nuggets could be used to pay for almost anything: food, a hotel room, pack horses, a bottle of liquor, and many other business transactions. This photo shows two men weighing gold at the Jo Jo Hotel, probably so that the one on the left can have a room for the night. An aproned woman, who may work at the hotel, stands to the right. The Jo Jo Hotel operated at an unidentified location in Alaska or the Yukon Territory.

Original photograph: between 1897 and 1906. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
