Challenge of the Yukon: Derelict Dog

The challenge of the Yukon! The Yukon! It's King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the North Country, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Modern Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

And King, and the Yukon! Gold! Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the greedy race for riches. Now back to the days of the Gold Rush, When Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog came, battled through storm and snow to preserve wall and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon.

Young Jimmy Nelson trudged along beside his father toward their mine about five miles outside of Dawson. He was late summer and already the chill in the air predicted the long cold winter that was to come.

Jimmy tried hard to match the long strides of his father, but he was small for thirteen and his dad was a fast walker. You're not going to come all the way to the mine with me, Jimmy.

Jake and I are doing some blasting today and it'll be too dangerous. I'll just walk part way with you, Dad. When are you gonna let me work in the mine with you? Not since you're at least 14. You're not big enough yet.

I bet you'll be really taking a lot of gold out of it, won't you? I hope so, son. It's beginning to look pretty hopeful, all right? Maybe I'll have good news for you and your mother when I come home tonight.

I heard you tell Monya thought maybe you'd hit a gold pocket. No, we're not sure yet. Anyway, we don't know how big it would be if we did hit it. And half of it would be Jake's, you know.
