Title
English: Panning for gold at Gold Hill, Yukon Territory, ca. 1898
Description
English: Miners used water running through sluices to wash the gold out of the pay dirt. Larger chunks of gold and gravel settled out along the uneven bottom of the sluice boxes. The smallest pieces of gold and dirt were washed to end of the sluice box where the gold was removed by panning.

This photo, taken around 1898 by Asahel Curtis, shows a Gold Hill miner panning for gold at the end of a sluice box. Gold Hill was located near the early Klondike strike at Bonanza Creek, Yukon Territory.
