DEASE LAKE, BC.  We stopped at Jade City today on our way here from Watson Lake, BC.  There is a jade mine nearby that is half financed by the Chinese government.  Here we found a small craftsman's shop run by a man from Australia.  Next to it is a much larger gift shop selling quite expensive finished jade items.
