HELP

In photo research for a permanent gold exhibit at MacBride Museum in Whitehorse,
we have come across a perfect image for a photo mural.  Unfortunately, the only
available copy of this image is of inferior quality and will not withstand
enlarging. We are looking for a good quality contact print.

The image we are seeking is 16 Eldorado, Tom Lippy's Claim, original photographs
on glass plate negatives taken by Kinsey and Kinsey during and shortly after the
Klondike Gold Rush.  There are three plates that form a panoramic image showing
the whole valley.  There are many flumes, cabins, wall tents, people, etc.
visible in the photograph.  The caption, located on the lower right hand centre
of the middle plate is "Sluicing on No 16 Eldorado Photo by Kinsey & Kinsey
Grand Forks YT".

If anyone out there has seen this image or knows where it may be contained in a
collection, public or private, we would be very interested to track it down.
Any help would be much appreciated.  We could FAX copies of the image to anybody
who needs more information. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
