[Rendering of a loaded pack horse and pack mule]
The dead are speaking in memory of us three thousand pack animals that laid our bones on these awful hills during the Gold Rush of 1897-1898. We now thank those listening that heard our groans across this stretch of years
We waited but not in vain.

Placed by the Ladies of the Golden North and the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers
