Michael "Black Mike" Winage (14 March 1870 – 15 March 1977) was a Serbian-Canadian miner, pioneer and adventurer who settled in the Yukon towards the end of the Klondike Gold Rush and who lived to be 107 years old.〔〔〔 ==Biography == Born in Serbia in 1870, in 1882 Winage left that country and went to Canada. Winage claimed to have been a guide and to have travelled as far as Aklavik, as well as a Constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.〔'The Canadian North' – ''National Geographic'' – Vol. 134, No. 1 – July 1968 pg 41〕 By the time he arrived in the Yukon on 5 March 1900 with his dogs and horses gold had been discovered elsewhere in Canada and Alaska, prompting a new stampede, this time away from the Klondike.〔Berton, Pierre (2001).

Carving the Western Path: By River, Rail, and Road Through Central and Northern B.C.. Surrey, Canada: Heritage House. ISBN 978-1-895811-74-2〕 Although the Klondike Gold Rush was virtually over Winage began prospecting anyway. In the Yukon Winage was originally known as "Big Mike" because of his large size. After becoming a woodcutter he became known as "Sawdust Mike". After helping to unload 400 tons of coal in 1918 he finally became known as "Black Mike", a nickname which stuck with him for the rest of his life.〔('Black Mike of the Yukon dies at 107' – ''The Montreal Gazette'' – March 18, 1977 )〕〔('Mike Winage' ''Daytona Beach Morning Journal'' – 17 March 1977 )〕
