Biography
Mabel Cox, a missionary in the early years of Juneau, recalled that in 1898 the town had a population of about 1,600 and "looked as if it had been thrown together at the foot of the mountain and continued up the side."
She noted that the town contained forty saloons, as well as gambling houses and houses of prostitution.
