THANKS TO JOE JUNEAU AND RICHARD HARRIS back to August 17, 1880, just 58 But it was on that date, according that Joe Juneau and Richard beach near where It's a far years ago today to the historical record Harris, pulled their boat up on the cry Gold Creek empties into Gastineau Channel, deciding to take a look around. There are many stories told about what prompted the two pione to take a but it is gen lly accepted that potent then as it metal site of look at Gold Creek, the magic world “gold” was just is today, and doubtless visions of were in their minds as they placed foot on the Juneau, capital city the yellow which today is the city of Alaska But regardless of what they were thinking about at that moment. the important thing that their visit led to the discovery of gold here and from that present day city discovery has grown the largest in the Territory Today this city of between 6,000 and 6,500 inhabi- tants can well pay honor to the memory of those two early pioneers. for to them must go the credit for starting the Juneau of today. Without strike, Juneau could just as well have been located in dozens of other places. But they struck it, and in their wake has come the modern city. Today fine, modern homes line the banks of the famous creek where the two old prospectors stopped 58 years They have been founded on the millions dollars in gold which has been taken through the years from the gold opera- tions of this district. In many respects they are main- tained today by the flow of gold which still comes from Juneau’s famed “mountain of gold,” for with gold has come kindred incdustries and business, and a thriving community which this summer is seeing the erections of many more new buildings which mark the further progress and growth of Juneau Joe Juneau and Richard Harris probably would be astonished if they could row up on the beach at Juneau today and see the vast development which has taken place since they dropped by 58 years ago. They would marvel at the great Alaska Juneau opera- tions, the million-dollar Federal building on the hill, their ago. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1938. ’(he many streets of I)\Mn(‘\fi blocks, the pavz‘d thoroughfares and the hillsides covered with modern | homes. But here it is is a new half-million dollar hotel, apartment building, expansion of another hotel, scores And being added to it this summer a new theater and »f new homes going up, repairs and improvements being made to others. Thanks to Joe Juneau and Richard Harris and their inquisitive ideas about gold 58 years ago today PROSPE ('Tl'\(- THE NORTH An interesting and typical account of what it takes to get out into the mineral areas of the north has just been received from Mr. Charles Williamson of Wrangell, who spent the better part of the summer new mining area in the Cassiar, going’ River from Wrangell, to aph Creek, across the Portage to Dease Lake and so to the prospecting area on Boulder Creek. But let Mr. Williamson tell his own story in the following interest- has sent The Empire: Returned home from the Muddy River stampede last Saturday and had a fine vaca- tion with plenty of work and hiking thrown in. Left Dease Lake on the 2nd of June with 32 pack horses carrying assorted loads for three outfits. Four days of hard going landed us at Boulder Creek over 55 miles of trail through .Caribou Pass and down along the Muddy River. There was still some snow in the pass and a lot of water standing on frozen muskeg. We prospected Satia and Boulder creeks with a gasoline pump (2-inch suction) which was too small to handle the water and drowned us out several times. A 4-inch Key- stone drill was put to work and we managed to get to bedrock which was rather deep. Two leases on Boulder Creek and one on Alice Creek are producing and a 12-horse pack train is busy all season bringing in sup- plies at 10-day intervals. I came out as rich as T went in but was not expecting anything, so was not disappointed. Very few mosquitos, cold frosty nights and considerable rain. Lots of moose and caribou meat and greyling trout in all the lakes and creeks. Coming out the trail was hard and we walked the distance to the lake in three days’' easy going Made good connections with the Hazel B No. 2 which had sixteen tourists aboard— mostly school teachers. Spent a day and night at the George Ball Dude ranch partying and dancing and got home Saturday afternoon. Lost four pounds and the old legs toughened up in good shape. Have a hard time to curb my appetite which was enormous at 5,000-foot altitude. in a promising up the Stikine ing letter he It was a very severe blow to us to learn that the Minnehaha Falls about which Longfellow wrote have been dry for y s, and we’ll bet it would be a blow to him to know it. He knowingly ran the risk that his spreading chestnut tree would be cut down and the village smithy converted into a hot-dog stand, but how could he know a river would let him down? Democracy’s last citadel falls. Mussolini decrees that the American term “hot dog,” the English “sand- wich™ and “roast beef” and the French “hors d'oeuvre” are abolished. But what will the democracies, in re- taliation, rechristen spaghetti, ravioli and chianti? The gnashing sound you hear is the teeth of the telegraph editors who are realizing, on the basis of news from the Far East, that they're likely to have to start wrestling with the names of Russian town: along with their present Chinese and Japanese worries. In Oregon a couple who had obtained a marriage license in 1 were married the other day. That's impetuousness for you! Congressman Bruce Barton advocates a $5,000 an- nual pension for life for all retiring Congressmen. It might be worth it, at that, to get rid of some of them.
