ATLIN CEMETERY

(At Atlin Cemetery, Atlin, BC)

In 1898, Fritz Miller and Kenny McLaren found gold on nearby Pine Creek, triggering British Columbia’s last place gold rush.  The boom subsided by 1908, but gold has kept Atlin alive.  Now Miller and McLaren lie here among hard bitten prospectors, young miners, northern aviators, brave women, and newborn infants, all part of Atlin’s pioneer heritage.
