The text on the plaque reads as follows:
Born in Toronto and raised in Woodstock, Ontario, Boyle had a varied career before arriving in Dawson in 1897. Becoming involved in many businesses, "Klondike Joe" soon recognized the potential of large-scale mining. He left the Klondike in 1904 but returned five years later as the head of one of the largest mining operations. "The King of the Klondike" lived here until 1916, when he left for England to help in the allied war effort. For his war-time services, especially his heroic achievements in Russia and Romania, Boyle was decorated by several European nations. He died in London, England.
Le texte sur la plaque se lit comme suit:
Membre de la Commission géologique du Canada de 1882 à 1899, puis expert-conseil minier, Tyrrell consacra sa vie à faire connaître les beautés mystérieuses des grands espaces canadiens. Pionnier de la recherche de l'or et autres métaux du Klondike et du nord de l'Ontario, il fit de nombreux levés dans l'Ouest canadien. Auteur des premières données précises sur la région de la baie d'Hudson et des terres désertiques du Nord-Ouest, ses études sur la géologie glaciaire, le recouvrement et la publication du journal de David Thompson lui assurèrent un grand renom. Né à Weston, (Haut-Canada), Tyrrell mourut à Toronto.
