Title
English: Mountie and dogs at Canadian telegraph station, ca. 1900
Description
English:

Caribou Crossing was a railroad stop on the Yukon River where caribou crossed during their annual migration. The town was near the border of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, some 67 miles north of Skagway and over 500 miles from the gold fields. The town had buildings housing Canadian customs, a telegraph office, and the North West Mounted Police. This photo, taken around 1900, shows a member of the North West Mounted Police and two dogs outside the log building which houses the telegraph office and police station in Caribou Crossing, Yukon Territory. In 1904, the Canadian post office changed the town's name to Carcross.
