Biographical History
The Alaska Mining and Prospect Company was formed in Elmira, New York in 1897 and incorporated on December 24, 1897 in Colorado. Sale of stock in the company was to support an expedition to the Klondike to locate and mine gold. The president of the company was John M. Diven of Elmira. Andrew Sherwood, geologist from Mansfield, Pennsylvania, was hired to lead a party of prospectors and miners. The group left in May 1898 and reached the Klondike via the Teslin Trail. They wintered in Wrangell and returned to the United States in the spring having located no mines and extracted only a few samples of gold. Andrew Sherwood and his son, Hugh, later settled in Portland, Oregon.
