       n 1: a region in northwestern Canada where gold was discovered in
            1896 but exhausted by 1910
       2: a form of solitaire that begins with seven piles of cards
          with the top cards facing up; descending sequences of
          cards of alternating colors are built on these piles; as


          aces become available they are placed above the seven
          piles; the object is to build sequences in suit from ace
          to king as the remaining cards are dealt out one at a time
