In the 93rd’s rush to build the road to the Teslin River they arrived at a ‘spot on the ground’ that would be later called Jakes Corner. That was the point at which they had been directed to build road back northwest to Whitehorse. Col. Johnson split two companies off from his main force and sent them in that direction. By late July they were at M’Clintock River, having covered 30 of the 44 projected miles. But the 340th was in serious trouble back to the south and Hoge sent the 93rd to the relief of the 340th. Johnson pulled his companies back from M’Clintock River and the PRA took over. The PRA completed the road from M’Clintock River to Whitehorse and brought it up to standards.
