Daylight’s Yukon Empire of Ophir and Power
By 1898 a Klondike rush drives Daylight to dominate Ophir and surrounding creeks. He buys claims, builds a three mile reservoir and eighty mile conduit, installs generators and lights, and drives a massive operation that makes Ophir accessible. He sells out to Guggenhammer interests for a clean profit rumored at twenty to thirty million. The Yukon cheers as Dawson hosts a feverish departure party.
