"But the favorite Livengood legend is about Grace Lowe, a tall, slender, good-looking woman--but tough as nails--who ran a large-scale mining operation. Once, when no prostitutes were in cap, her workmen announced that they wished to go into Fairbanks to visit the Line. It was an all-day trip and Grace, not wanting to stop production, agreed to take them on herself, in a most professional manner. ... Everyone was happy until the following payday, when each miner who had enjoyed her services discovered that fifty dollars had been deducted from his wages."
--Lael Morgan, Good Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush (Fairbanks, Alaska and Seattle: Epicenter Press, 1998), p. 290
