I|hiCk.wavy hair !

You, too, can have long, soft,
abundant hair. It's simply q
matter of using this easy method;
approved by hair specialists; en-
dorSed by stars of stage and
screen; used by millions who
haven't time for the more labori-
Gus treatments.
Tonight when you arrange your
hair, just put a little Danderine
on your brush. Then, as you
draw the briStles through your
hair, see how the scalp is toned
and Soothed. See how the hair
becomes softer, easier to manage;
how it's natural color is brought
out; how it takes on new bril-
lance and lustreI
Danderine diSSolveS the crust of
dandruff; helps stop falling hair;
keeps hair and scalp healthy;
encourages the growth of long,
silky, abundant hair. Five mil
lion bottles used year. That
proves Danderine's effectiveness!

WOMAN IS LONE
 RESIDENT LEFT OF 1881 GROUP
Mrs. L. R. Palmer Recalls Incidents in Early
 Days of Juneau

In 1881, few months after the first white settlement on the pres ent site of Juneau, a little girl Lyda Prior, with her brothers, Ed ward and William, was brought here from Victoria, B. O., by her mother Mrs John Prior. The father and husband was one of the founders of the new community, and his family had come to join him. Their home was tent on tract of land at what is now Fourth and Main Streets, then covered with thick timber and reached from the beach by a narrow trail hewn through the timber.
 The little girl remained several months, until late ;n the fall, and then with her brothers was taken back to Victoria by her mother for the winter. All returned here the next summer. The little girl grew to womanhood, welded, became a mother, grandmother. Since her coming so long ago this has been her permanent home. Of the mea- ger group that composed the towns population in the first twelve months of it's history, she, Mrs. L. R. Palmer, is the only surviving resident.
 Still Owned by Family
 The ground occupied by the tent of early days, has never left the possession of the family. The origi- nal tract, except for small part alienated to the City for street pur- poses, has been the home site of MT. and Mrs. John Prior and their children; of Mrs. Palmer and her first husband, John Olds, and their children, Brilliant, who was the first white child born in this city; Lyda named for her mother; John who suffered death in service in the World War, and Harry, who lives on the premises now, with his wife and little daughter.
 After Joseph Juneau and Richard Harris made their gold discovery here, one of them returned to Sitka almost immediately. Henry Prior was then supervising mining oper- ations near there, and he was in- duced to come here. He brought four mi ners with h m-Antone Marks, James Rosewold, William Mayhem and Frank Berry.
 Acquired Realty Interests MT. Prior acquired realty inter- ests, and followed mining here. On the ground occupied by the Occi- dental Hotel, he built large cabin, and 1t was conducted as a hotel. He likewise built on Main Street, just north of the present Zynda Hotel structure, cabin that was originally used as residence, then attained distinction as the Log Cabin Church, and afterwards was converted into a brewery.
 MT. Prior located the Ready Bull lion Mine on Douglas Island. He sold it to John Treadwell. It was incorporated into the Treadwell mine and was part of the property that escaped inundation and that continued to operate after abandon ment of the principal workings.

JUNEAU OWES HER EXISTENCE
 T0COLD
Discovery of Lode Deposit Follows Finding of Placer Riches

Today Juneau rounds out the first half-oentury of it's existence, August IT, marking the first day of the fifty-first year since Rich ard T. Harris, father of w. John and Richard Harris of this city, and Joseph Juneau, pitched their camp where the Imperial Cigar Store now stands, preparatory to prospecting.
 The outcome of their search for gold is historic. On the day follow ing, August IS, they banned bed rock in Gold Creek, getting 10 cents a pan. Before another 30 days had passed they had discovered lode deposits and placer ground in a gulch they named Quartz and the basin they called Silver Bow Basin, as a result of which the town of Juneau came into existence.
 Harris Gives Account
 MT. Harris, writing for publica- ton in 1900, described in some de- tail the discovery and subsequent development of the local gold field. Employed by George E. Piltz, Sit ka, and Hall Brothers, San Fran lcisco, he and Joe Juneau, with pthree Indians, sailed from Sitka in canoe on July 19, 1880 to prospect in this vicinity and in- vestigate reports made by Indians that gold had been found in streams on Gastineau Channel. Coming by way of Peril Strait and Frederick Sound they first prospected Windham Bay, Sum Dunn, Snettisham and as far north as Berners Bay without success. Turning south they crossed Men, denhall Bar and stopped first at Salmon Creek, so named by liar ris, where they banned colors.
 Discover Gold Creek
 On August IT, they discovered the creek-named by them Gold Creek = emptying into Gastineau Channel. They landed and pitched permanent camp at the spot where 1 the old Louvre Theatre later stood and where J. J. Stocker's Imperial Cigar Store is located.
 The following day they pushed i their way through dense devil club and brush thickets as far as Snow slide Gulch. Creek bedrock yielded them ten-cent pans. AS they were poorly equipped to break through the heavy undergrowth and sup plies were running low, they de- cided to return to Sitka for addl- l tional equipment and more sup plies before undertaking extended prospecting. They sailed for Sit ka on August 19.
 They reached Sitka on September B. and, after outfitting, sailed again i for their Gold Creek camp on September 10. The return voyage
 occupied 10 days. Landing on September 20, they immediately 1 began prospecting. With one h. i dian to pack tools, they went up lthe creek, crossing at the head of Snowslide gulch, they discovered and named Quartz Gulch and Silver Bow Basin. In the former they {, found quartz and gold nuggets Following the gulch down into the basin they found five lodes that crossed the gulch. Describing the discovery, in 1900 Harris wrote:
