This is from the 1908 Yukon reports of the area. I find it hard to believe it did not have any work done ever.

"Individual mining operations have been carried on at Granville on Lower Dominion,
and on Sulphur, Quartz and Eureka creeks, with, it is understood, good results.

New discoveries were made on Blackhills creek, and on Little Blanche, a tributary of
Quartz. Blackhills is a tributary of the Stewart river, and is situate in the Dawson
mining district. Two hundred and fifty-two creek and 100 hillside claims have been
staked ,and about fifty claims on its tributaries. There are about fifty individual
plants operating on this creek, and the prospects for a good clean-up in the spring are
excellent.

Quite a considerable amount of work was done in placer mining in the Salmon
River district, principally on Livingstone creek. There are about 125 men working
in that district."
