Juneau has two of the largest banks in the Ter- ritory. i While considerable mining activity is always mani- fest throughout Southeast Alaska, the big mine in this section today is the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company on Gastineau Channel bordering Juneau's city limits. The great future forest industry of Alaska is the manufacture of pulp and paper. Juneau is especially well situated for plants of this kind, for in this locality are 17 billion board feet of western hemlock and Sitka spruce timber and both of these species are admirably suited to such use.
