Transcript

A challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the Northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mountain Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unking! Un-New Husky!

Gold, gold, discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the gold rush with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they beat the challenge of the Yukon. Ernie Cushing and his partner Lemme moved along the trail to Selkirk behind their door team. Ernie 22 years old had

met Lam and old Trapper the summer before. The two had agreed to become partners on Beaver Creek and Ernie had put up a few hundred dollars to grub stake them during the winter season. The winter is almost over and this was their second trip to town with a load of valuable skins. Ernie was talking as they traveled.

Like golly lamb this load ought to bring more than that. First one we took in two months ago. He had baked red Ernie. He got to mighty fine skins in his batch. How much do you think we'll get for him? He'll know that's hard to say off hand.

Today I reckon maybe thousand dollars Ernie. Oh gosh that'll be great. The first back brought only half that lamb admit we have a few more skins this time we got more skins and final ones yeah I reckon that's right you know you see what I was speaking about when I said trapping paid off but it may work in the claim

right many who get fifteen hundred out of a claim during one season any no share that's right some of the fellas thought I was a fool to tie in with you lamb this and saw them they were wrong.
