Challenge of the Yukon: Ten Thousand Counterfeit

The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon! Swiftness and strongest league dog of the Northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers! One king! One new Husky!

Gold! Gold! Discovered in the Yukon! A stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches! Back to the Danes of the Gold Rush! With Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet, the challenge of the Yukon.

The Northern Lights Cafe in Dawson City was crowded with its usual motley array of customers. Bearded prospectors and trappers, rub shoulders with eager gold rushes newly arrived in the territory. Among the men lined up at the bar was a big broad-shouldered young miner named Ed Russell.

A friend standing next to him was saying, Well Ed, how's that claiming you were just panning out? I hear you're struggling pretty rich. I sure did, Sam. My claim is really loaded. But it looks like I may have to sell off.

Well, cluck. My little boy's not very well. The climate doesn't seem to agree with him. Dr. Told us we ought to take him back to the States. That's too bad Ed. I'm sorry to hear it.

Trouble is, I can't get a decent price for my claim. How much you asking for? I don't aim to take less than $10,000 for it. But so far the best offer I've had is only 5,000.

10,000 is a pretty steep price. Well, it's worth all of that and probably a lot more. I'm telling you, Sam, I wouldn't be surprised with what that claim is good for $20,000. Two men seated at a nearby table had overheard the conversation between Adam Sam.
