In the spring and summer of 1898, Dawson was flooded with new arrivals. They discovered that news of the initial strike in August 1896 had spread quickly among prospectors already in the region.

Some with sufficient means bought or leased established claimes. Still others remained to work in Dawson or to start businesses there.
