During the seventies they thrOngeh up the Stickinc. making WranGell pandemonium as they returned with their pokes in the fall. and they scattered along the shore to Sitka, and Windham. and 10 Shucks Basin where they took out about s40.OO0 in gold during 1877 and 1878.
 About this time. there came glid- ing along the shores an Indian canoe, and in it was the great naturalist, John Muir, who came looking for glaciers and. incidentally. taking notes of the geological strata along tho rock bound coasts. When he returned he wrote of his discoveries, and told that the indications about the Gastineau Channel. or on the mainland, were favorable to gold de- posits.
 At Sitka. one summers day in 1880, Geo. F. Pilz, a mining man, who was working some prospects on Silver Bay, and N. 4. Fuller, a

 The pl;.cer gold was dug first, then came the tedious task of devel- oping the lode mines, which has been continued to the present day, is not yet finished and will not be for many years. First came the five stamp mill at Treadwell. which was later increased to 120 stamps and. again. in the early nineties, to 24O stamps. perhaps the greatest number
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-01-01

of stamps at that time, in any one mill in the United States
 At this time Juneau was a little struggling village. with one street along the water front, and that was extremely muddy. As you landed from the boat and looked up its length, the first thing that greeted the eye was Martins Old Curiosity shop, with an Aleut bidarka hang ing on the side. On the other side a small black bear climbed q pole to view the tourists. for during 1884 Captain Carroll explored Glacier Bay, with the old steamer Idaho, and be- gan the now prosperous business of carrying sight seeing parties into the bay that receives the famous Muir glacier. The Nowcll's had been working on the properties on Gold Creek. and Sheep Creek, the prospectors had scattered over the mountains and examined every nook and corner. Granite Creek, Montana Basin, Lemon, Salmon and other creeks. having even carried their investigations 10 Berner's Bay.
 With the development of the Treadwell mine came the municipal ity of Douglas, which built up a. the place of residence of those who were interested in the work of taking out the ore, and 1t soon became a point of importance.
 During the decade, from 1880 to 1890, the salmon canning industry had rapidly advanced. new canneries being built, salteries established, and new fishing grounds utilized. Trade developing from one boat each month, sailing from Portland, the fleet increased to regular bimonth. ly service with extra ships in the tourist service, and sailing vessels connected with the canneries. The entry port was at Mary Island and the principal ports of call were Wrangell. Juneau. Douglas and Sitka X trading post already existed at lIaines. and a mission was estab 1 lished there in 1880.
 The year gold was discovered al Juneau, a company of miners. mum 1 bcring 19 men under the leadership of Edmund Bean, sought to cross the , Chilkoot Pass into the Yukon and through the influence of Commander Beardslee. of the N. s. s. James town" who interceded with the In dians. they succeeded. This was the first movement of note toward that country. but in 1884 Captain IIcaley established a post at Dyea.
 With the discovery of geld In tho Canadian Klondike, in 1896. and the shipment of treasure in July o 1897. began the great rush toward the valley of the Yukon that brought thousands to the head of Lynn Can al. Captain William Moore had es tablished a trading post near thu

and still others until 960 stamps are now falling. The water power of the Island and the steam power were augmented by the electric current from Nugget creek, and in every way the enterprise has ad vance and with it the surrounding country has improved. The greatest step forward, in material progress. for Juneau and for southeastern AL aska was made when, in 1913. the clouds on the title to the PerseVer- ance Mine. which had for so many years kept 1t in litigation, were swept away, and the Alaska Gas tineau Mining Company began op- erations on the properties they had acquired. As the development work went on and the new works rose at Thane, a new era of development began for Gastineau Channel and the people who make 1t their home. Modern concrete blocks rose on the streets of Juneau. new transporta- tion lines were in place on the wa ters and other undertakings that had long lain dormant were revived.
 The example of enterprise in the Alaska Gastineau pointed the way for another vast conception. and with the beginning of the present year the completion of another mill of 5000 tons per day capacity was begun, and Is fast being pushed to completion. The stream of gold that will be poured into the current of commerce from the mines about Ju. neau when the Alaska Juneau mill Is completed will be exceeded by the total output of but few of the states of the Union. When tho Ebner prop critics, the Hallum claims, the Nevada Creek holdings. and the Gold Belt add their earnings to the sum there will, perhaps, be none of the states whose output will equal that of the circle about Juneau. It then will have earned the title: The great. est of the gold producing ledges of the world"
 While mining Is Juneau's greatest resource and will so continue, per. haps, for all time, 1t Is not the only one, but the prosperity of the mines means the success of the others to a great extent. The fishing industry Is at the highest point of production 1t has ever reached in the history of the country. and there are yet other branches of 1t that will be utilized. lThe extension of the roads, reaching out from the centers, has brought to light new possibilities in the way of homes and farms, and the day Is near at hand, when the unlimited water power of the surrounding country will be harnessed and turned to different forms of manufacture. The forests are yet untouched, there are millions of acres of pulp tim. Der waiting for the coming of the
 mills and, in the mountains. the power Is waiting to turn the wheels. The development of It's mineral re. sources has but begun, and the
 whole of Southeastern Alaska Is at lthe beginning of It's prosperity.

steamers dumped freight and pas sengers on the long beach in front Of the present town. for there were no wharves, and sailed away to the states for another cargo. A city Cf tents arose in front of the heavy | spruce timber that stood above the tide line, and while some of the new corners struggled to save the'r outfits, in which they had invested perhaps their last dollar, from tke fast coming tide, others were busy with axes in the forest and soon a city stood on the shores of Lynn Canal that was named Skagway. Oc- tober 18th the first weekly news. paper was issued and in it is a list of 219 business houses and offices in that city. 4 pack trail was op- ened. wagon toll roads came next running to the summit, and with the coming of June, 1898, a railway was under way to the headwaters of the Yukon. February 20, 1899, saw the railway at the summit of the pass, and Skagway was then city of 5000 inhabitants. The comple. tion of the White Pass and Yukon Route to the interior marked in Alaskan history the epoch beginning with railway construction in the Ter. ritory.
 The same flood or travellers to the gold fields brought new life and en. ergy not only to Skagway, but to Dyea, to Haines, to Wrangell, and to Juneau as well. Coming from the southern ports, boats of every description thronged the island channels. The mosquito fleet" small swift vessels dodgcd along the bays. following the byways of the Rocky Pass and Ernest Sound. and stimulating trade by flood of "Contraband" consisting of whis. key and blankets from Port Simp. son.
 At first the eyes of the miners
 were all turned to tho placer fields of tho Yukon, but later they began to look nearer home, and gradually the wealth in mineral stores, of the Alexander Archipelago began to be
 realized. Then, as the prospectors lEgain threaded tho LasCcs-between
 the islands and climbed the noun
 tains the discoveries of the
 lodcs of copper and of gold, and Sea
 Level and SulZcr. SuDldum and Snet
 tisham. Derncr's Bay and Chichagoi
 became known to the world.
 Under the impetus of interest oth
 CT industries came to notice. The
 salmon canning establishments dou
 bled. the halibut fishery grew unti 1t produced millions of pounds pei
 year. Ketchikan and Petersburg
 became thriving centers of the new trade. The gypsum of Chlchagof Isl and and the great marble deposits , of thu west coast of Prince of Wales Island were opened and the pro ' ducts utilized.
