Slujo, Mat

Born: January 15, 1886

Birthplace: Austria

Died: May 15, 1921 (age 35)

Burial: Douglas Catholic Cemetery, Douglas, Alaska

Spouse: Sarka Krasel Slujo

Father-in-law: Anton Krasel, tailor and Douglas businessman

Biography

Mat Slujo was born on January 15, 1886, in Austria and later came to Alaska during the years when the Treadwell mines were among the world's largest gold mining operations.

Slujo married Sarka Krasel, the daughter of Anton Krasel, a tailor who operated a business on St. Ann’s Avenue in Douglas as early as 1910. The Krasel family was part of the small but active business community that served the workers and residents of the Douglas–Treadwell mining district.

Slujo worked at the Ready Bullion Mine, one of the mines in the Treadwell group. The Ready Bullion was the only mine of the Treadwell complex that was not flooded during the catastrophic 1917 cave-in that ended large-scale mining operations at Treadwell.

He was reportedly the last person to die at the Treadwell mine before it closed, marking the end of an era in the Douglas Island mining community.

Mat Slujo died on May 15, 1921, at the age of 35. He was buried in the Douglas Catholic Cemetery, one of the historic burial grounds associated with the early residents of Douglas Island.
