Challenge of the Yukon: Old Tom

The Challenge of the Yukon! And King! On your Huskies! The Wonder Dog, James, swift, distant, strongest of Eskimo League dogs blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon!

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest-Motted Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest Country, agreed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and Justice ruled triumphant.

Old Tom Dumfy had been in a Yukon for over ten years. By prospecting and trapping, he saved enough to come to Dawson City with ten thousand dollars cash. The Golden Ace Cafe was crowded with noisy miners, as Old Tom talked to two men at a table.

You see, he didn't sell out except we can't work two claims. It takes both of us to handle one. Well, that rock sure showed plenty of gold, but I can't give you that much money for it.

I just, I mean, got it. We got to sell quick. What's your best offer, Delphi? Well, tell them the truth. I got exactly $10,000. Eh, eh, afraid we can't do business. Right, you can probably take that much out of this mine in a month or less.

Well, now, Dave, come to think of it, that ain't such a bad offer. We don't know any more than Dunphy here just how far back that train goes. We know there's plenty there, and he knows you'll get that much money back, but...

...we got no way on it. How about all them Huskies here, Dunphy? You could sell them? Or... ...we'd be one of them? No, sure, he, them dogs ain't for sale! I love every last one of them!
