Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Yukon Territory. Office of the Gold Commissioner : Thomas Fawcett was appointed Gold Commissioner and Land Agent responsible for surveying and registering mineral claims in 1897 (PC 1190, 21 March 1897). The Gold Commissioner served as chief mining recorder, arbitrator of mining disputes, and administrator of Dominion Lands Act regulations. He was also a member of the six-personYukon Council. Before 1914, the Gold Commissioner reported to the Commissioner of the Yukon, who in turn reported to the Deputy Minister of the Interior. In 1914, he began to report directly to H.H. Rowatt, the Controller of the Mining Lands and Yukon Branch (Interior, Annual Report, 1914, vol. 1, p. 62), rather than to the Deputy Minister of the Interior. This arrangement continued throughout the life of the Mining Lands and Yukon Branch to 1922, although the Commissioner's annual report on local government in the Yukon was soon replaced by reports of the Yukon Gold Commissioner and the Yukon Crown Timber and Land Agent. (See Morrison, The Politics of the Yukon Territories, p. 10).

In 1918, the federal government abolished the Yukon Council and significantly reduced the number of federal administrators in the territory (PC 745, 28 March 1918). The offices of Commissioner and Administrator were also eliminated and the Gold Commissioner assumed their duties, becoming the Chief Executive Officer in the Territory. The powers of the Gold Commissioner of the Yukon Territory at Dawson were transferred to a Comptroller in 1932 (PC 1481, 30 June 1932). The position of Gold Commissioner was abolished on 20 February 1934. RG91 General Inventory
