Zavodsky was born in Bohemia on May 16, 1864. He came to the United States in 1889 to join his father on a farm in Kansas. At age fourteen, he had run away from home to Wild Horse, Colorado, where he worked as a railroad section hand. He later returned to Kansas and eventually made his way west to the Pacific Coast, working as a cook and bartender. Zavodsky arrived in Juneau aboard the steamer Alki in 1896 and went to work at the Circle City Hotel, owned by George Miller and Lockie MacKinnon, where he worked in the dining room and kitchen. According to local accounts, Zavodsky introduced the cocktail to Alaska. When a patron asked for a cocktail in the hotel bar, Jack stepped behind the bar and asked what kind he preferred. “Make it any kind,” the man replied. Zavodsky mixed a whiskey cocktail, and it quickly became popular among other patrons. George Miller later made him head bartender until Jack Olds, owner of the Occidental Hotel, hired him at $60 per month plus room and board. Zavodsky spent several years working for Juneau businessmen as a night patrolman for business houses. He left Juneau around 1941, moving first to Seattle and later to Chicago. Zavodsky died at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Chicago on February 17, 1951. Sources Daily Alaska Empire, February 23, 1951.

Zenger, Juneau pioneers, early Juneau families, Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo, cigar manufacturing in Alaska, Alaska Juneau Gold Mine, U.S. Navy Reserve, Dyea Trail, Klondike era settlers, Alaska territorial history Biography Alfred “Al” Zenger Sr. was an early Juneau resident, businessman, veteran, and community leader who served as President of the Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Men’s Igloo in 1948. He was the son of Sebastian B. Zenger, a Bavarian immigrant whose family became part of the fabric of early Juneau civic and commercial life. Sebastian B. Zenger was born on March 18, 1862, in Kallmuenz, Bavaria. He immigrated to the United States when he was nineteen years old. He first came to Alaska in 1896, going to the Cook Inlet district. When the stampede to the Klondike began in 1897, he went to Dyea, where he packed for wages on the Dyea Trail in 1897 and 1898. He left Seattle in 1897 by steamship for Juneau in search of work. In October 1898, Sebastian moved his wife, Carrie, and children, Bertha, Alfred Sr., Theresa, and Hilda, to Juneau, where he was employed as a carpenter. Through family friends, a romance blossomed between Sebastian’s eldest daughter, Bertha, and Joseph Trudgeon, a young merchant and co-owner of a dairy farm in Douglas. Joseph was born in 1879 in Quebec, England, to Joseph Trudgeon and Josepiah Ruth Haydon. Bertha and Joseph were married in Douglas in 1906. In Juneau, the Zenger family resided for nearly a decade, from about 1910, on the second floor of a two-story wooden-frame building at the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets. The first floor was occupied by the manufacture of cigars. That structure later had a colorful history, serving at different times as a dance hall and later as a church space. It housed the Resurrection Lutheran Church from the 1930s to the mid-1950s, when a new church building was constructed at Glacier Avenue and 10th Street. In the 1960s, the building was razed to widen Main Street. Sebastian and his son Alfred manufactured a variety of cigars in Juneau. The basswood molds used in that work were reportedly burned as firewood sometime in 1932, though by the 1990s, such molds had become desirable antique items. Tobacco for the manufacture of handmade cigars arrived in hogsheads by steamboat. Ships usually made monthly, and later biweekly, runs through Southeast Alaska before returning to Seattle. These vessels were the lifelines of the communities for every need. Livestock arrived alive and were slaughtered on the dock as needed, and butter was shipped in kegs packed in salt brine because ships of that era lacked refrigeration. In the early summer of 1910, Sebastian sent his son Alfred to check on a mining venture in which he had invested at Sutton in the Matanuska Valley. Alfred departed Juneau aboard the steamer Star of Seattle. While on the Gulf of Alaska, a storm raged so severely that he saw the same point of land for three consecutive days. Upon arrival at Portage on the Kenai Peninsula, he hiked over the portage to the head of Cook Inlet, where Anchorage now stands. At that time, there was only one cabin on the beach. Throughout their lives, Sebastian and Alfred became involved in various ventures in hopes of striking it rich, grubstaking, or putting up venture capital for assorted enterprises. About 1914, a romance flourished between Theresa Zenger and Hubert C. Huehn, a linotype operator for the Daily Dispatch. Hubert was the son of John Esch Huehn and Amelia Lundy, born in 1890 in Morden, Manitoba, Canada. Theresa and Hubert were married in Douglas in 1914 and later moved to California. In 1916, Sebastian’s youngest daughter, Hilda, married Eugene Allen Rowe, the son of Richard Valentine Rowe and Maria Z. Miller. Eugene was born in 1894 in Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin. In 1919, that couple moved to Seattle. During World War I, Alfred enlisted in the Navy Reserve in Seattle in 1917 and attended the first U.S. Navy class in radio-telephone at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the Naval Training Center in Seattle to teach radio-telephone operations. He was released from active duty in 1918 and discharged from the Naval Reserve in 1921. While on active duty with the Navy in Seattle, Alfred met Silva Ann Redman through relatives. She was born in 1898 in Seattle, King County, Washington, the ninth of ten children of John David and Emilia Redman. The couple married in Seattle in 1919. Shortly after the wedding, they left for Juneau, honeymooning at Tenakee and Sitka. According to the 1920 census, no Zengers were residing in Juneau, suggesting a division in the family between those who wished to remain stateside in Seattle and those who desired to remain in Juneau. In early 1920, Sebastian again took up residence in Juneau at 121 West Fourth Street at the corner of Calhoun Avenue. Alfred and Silva resided in a small apartment upstairs. During the early 1920s, Sebastian opened and operated a curio shop on South Franklin Street, continuing until his death in 1932. After spending the summer of 1932 at the family’s cabin near Point Louisa, approximately sixteen miles from Juneau, the family again took up residence in the grandfather’s home on Calhoun Avenue. As the territorial government expanded, the demand for office space in Juneau increased. The City of Juneau gave land for an office building on the site of the city hall and the old Arctic Brotherhood Building. The new structure was to face Main Street between Third and Fourth Streets. Alfred and Silva were not pleased by the prospect of a four- or five-story office building being erected next to their home. During excavation, blasting by the contractor’s powder man damaged the Zenger residence, the Cooper Building, and automobiles across Main Street. Damages were repaired, and the house remained in the Zenger family possession until 1965. Alfred and Silva remained in Juneau, where their children were born: Alfred Jr. in 1920, Harold in 1922, Ned in 1925, and Chester in 1927. Alfred Sr. worked at various times as a cigar maker in Seattle and Juneau. He also found employment at the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine as a flume keeper. After taking correspondence courses to become an accountant, he worked for the Sanitary Grocery on Front Street, Connors Motor on South Franklin Street, and Empire Printing Company on Main and Second Streets. In 1950, he traveled to Germany to visit his family. Upon his return to Juneau, he obtained temporary employment with the Veterans Administration and later with the Department of Alaska American Legion. He held these positions at the time of his death in Juneau in 1954. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in the American Legion Plot. After Alfred Sr.’s death, Silva married Robert H. Hanson in 1962 in Fall City, Washington, where they resided. She died in Kirkland, Washington, in 1992. Later family notes record that Alfred Jr. resided in Florida, Ned lived in Idaho, Chester died in 1999, and Harold died in May 2001. Through his work, family ties, military service, and leadership in the Pioneers of Alaska, Alfred Zenger Sr. is part of the larger story of early Juneau families who helped shape the city's commercial, social, and fraternal life.

Sebastian B. Zenger, early Juneau resident and cigar manufacturer. Zenger family portrait, Juneau, Alaska. Sebastian Zenger and family. Primary Name: Zenger, Sebastian B.

Zenger was an early settler of Juneau whose family became closely associated with the city's early commercial and social development. Born March 18, 1862, in Kallmuenz, Bavaria, he immigrated to the United States at the age of nineteen. Zenger first came to Alaska in 1896, traveling to the Cook Inlet district during the early years of Alaska’s mining expansion. When the Klondike gold rush began in 1897, he joined the rush to Dyea, where he worked as a packer for wages along the Dyea Trail during 1897 and 1898. In 1897, he left Seattle by steamship for Juneau seeking work. The following year, in October 1898, Sebastian brought his wife, Carrie, and their children, Bertha, Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa, and Hilda, to Juneau, where he found employment as a carpenter. The family soon became part of the growing community of early settlers in Southeast Alaska. Through family friends, a romance blossomed between Sebastian’s eldest daughter, Bertha, and Joseph Trudgeon, a young merchant and co-owner of a dairy farm in Douglas. Joseph was born in 1879 in Quebec (Durham), England, to Joseph Trudgeon and Josepiah Ruth Haydon. Joseph and Bertha were married in Douglas in 1906. For nearly a decade, beginning around 1910, the Zenger family lived on the second floor of a two-story wooden-frame building at the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets in Juneau. The first floor housed a cigar manufacturing operation run by Sebastian and his son Alfred Zenger Sr. This structure later had a colorful history, serving as a dance hall and, later, as a church space. It housed the Resurrection Lutheran Church from the 1930s until the mid-1950s, when a new church building was constructed at Glacier Avenue and 10th Street. In the 1960s, the building was demolished during the widening of Main Street. The basswood molds used by Sebastian and Alfred in manufacturing cigars were reportedly burned as firewood around 1932. By the 1990s, similar cigar molds had become highly sought after on the antique market. Tobacco used in the manufacture of handmade cigars arrived by steamship in hogsheads. Steamships were the lifelines of Southeast Alaska communities, delivering supplies and livestock long before refrigeration became common. In the early summer of 1910, Sebastian sent his son Alfred Zenger Sr. to check on a mining venture near Sutton in the Matanuska Valley. Alfred departed Juneau aboard the steamer Star of Seattle. After arriving at Portage on the Kenai Peninsula, he hiked over the portage to the head of Cook Inlet, where Anchorage now stands. During the early 1920s, Sebastian opened and operated a curio shop on South Franklin Street in Juneau. He ran the shop until his death in 1932. Through his work as a carpenter, cigar manufacturer, merchant, and investor in Alaska ventures, Sebastian B. Zenger contributed to the early economic life of Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period. Members of the Zenger family remained active in the community for generations.

Carrie Zenger, an early Juneau resident and member of the Zenger pioneer family. Zenger family portrait, Juneau, Alaska. Primary Name: Zenger, Carrie Filed as: Zenger, Carrie Also known as: Carrie Zenger Occupation / Association: Early Juneau settler; homemaker; member of the Zenger pioneer family Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska; Dyea, Alaska; Seattle, Washington Family: Wife of Sebastian B. Zenger; mother of Bertha Zenger Trudgeon, Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa Zenger Huehn, and Hilda Zenger Rowe Keywords: Carrie Zenger, Zenger family, Juneau pioneers, pioneer women in Alaska, early Juneau families, Alaska territorial history Biography Carrie Zenger was an early resident of Juneau and the matriarch of the Zenger family, one of the pioneer households that helped establish the community's social and economic life during Alaska’s territorial period. While many historical records emphasize the activities of miners, merchants, and tradesmen, women like Carrie played a central role in sustaining the family networks and domestic stability that allowed frontier communities such as Juneau to endure and grow. Carrie and her husband, Sebastian B. Zenger, were part of the wave of settlers drawn north during the economic expansion associated with the Klondike gold rush in the late 1890s. After Sebastian first traveled north in search of work, Carrie joined him in October of 1898, bringing their children—Bertha, Alfred Sr., Theresa, and Hilda—to establish a permanent home in Juneau. The journey north for families during this period was not a simple relocation but a major undertaking. Travel to Southeast Alaska required steamship passage along the Inside Passage from Seattle, often with young children and household belongings. Families arriving in Juneau entered a town that was still developing its basic infrastructure, where housing, transportation, and reliable supply chains depended heavily on maritime shipping. For nearly a decade beginning around 1910, the Zenger family lived above the cigar manufacturing business operated by Sebastian and their son Alfred Zenger. Their home occupied the second floor of a two-story wooden-frame building at the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets in downtown Juneau. The arrangement reflected a common pattern in early Alaskan towns, where family residences were often combined with small commercial enterprises. The first floor of the building served as the Zenger cigar manufacturing shop, where tobacco shipped north in large hogsheads was rolled into cigars for local sale. Above the business, Carrie maintained the household that supported the family’s daily life in the busy commercial district. Life in early Juneau required resilience and adaptability. The community depended on steamships traveling through the Inside Passage for nearly every necessity—from food supplies and clothing to livestock and building materials. Long winters, unpredictable transportation schedules, and the demands of frontier living placed considerable responsibility on women who managed homes, children, and family finances while their husbands pursued trades, prospecting ventures, or seasonal work. The Zenger family became closely connected with other early Southeast Alaska families. Carrie’s eldest daughter, Bertha, married Joseph Trudgeon in Douglas in 1906. Trudgeon was a merchant and dairy farmer in the area. Another daughter, Theresa, married Hubert C. Huehn, a linotype operator for the Daily Dispatch, in 1914. The youngest daughter, Hilda, married Eugene Allen Rowe in 1916 and later relocated to Seattle. Through these marriages, Carrie’s descendants became woven into the broader network of families who shaped the early civic life of Juneau and Douglas. The building that housed the Zenger cigar business later played a continuing role in Juneau’s community life. Over the years, it was used as a dance hall and eventually as a church, serving as the home of Resurrection Lutheran Church from the 1930s until the mid-1950s. The structure was eventually demolished during the widening of Main Street in the 1960s, a reminder of the changing landscape of downtown Juneau. Although the historical record often preserves fewer details about pioneer women than their husbands, Carrie Zenger’s life illustrates the essential role women played in establishing stable homes and family networks in Alaska’s early communities. Through raising children, maintaining a household above a family business, and participating in the social life of Juneau, she helped anchor the Zenger family in the capital city for generations.

Zenger family portrait, Juneau, Alaska. Members of the Zenger pioneer family, including Bertha Zenger. Primary Name: Zenger, Bertha Filed as: Zenger, Bertha Also known as: Bertha Zenger Trudgeon Occupation / Association: Early Juneau resident; member of the Zenger pioneer family Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska Family: Daughter of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger; sister of Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa Zenger, and Hilda Zenger Rowe; wife of Joseph Trudgeon Biography Bertha Zenger was the eldest daughter of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger, members of one of the early immigrant families who established themselves in Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period. She arrived in Juneau in October 1898, when her mother, Carrie, brought the Zenger children—Bertha, Alfred, Theresa, and Hilda—to join Sebastian, who had already traveled north in search of work during the economic expansion surrounding the Klondike gold rush. The Zenger family became part of the developing community of Southeast Alaska at the turn of the twentieth century. Like many families in frontier towns, the Zengers combined family life and small business activity. For a number of years, the family lived above the cigar manufacturing business operated by Sebastian and Bertha’s brother, Alfred Zenger Sr., in a building located on the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets in downtown Juneau. Through family connections and social networks within the small communities of Juneau and Douglas, Bertha met Joseph Trudgeon, a young merchant and co-owner of a dairy farm located in Douglas. Trudgeon was born in 1879 in Durham, England, and later came to North America, where he established himself in Southeast Alaska’s developing business community. Bertha and Joseph Trudgeon were married in Douglas in 1906. Their marriage reflected the close relationship between the neighboring communities of Juneau and Douglas, connected by regular boat traffic across the Gastineau Channel and sharing many family, business, and social ties. Joseph Trudgeon’s work as a merchant and dairy operator placed the couple within an important sector of the local economy. Dairy farms in Douglas helped supply fresh milk and other dairy products to the growing population of Juneau and surrounding mining communities, which relied heavily on locally produced food to supplement shipments arriving by steamship from Seattle. Through her marriage and family connections, Bertha remained closely linked with the broader Zenger family network. Her siblings also married into other regional families, including the Huehn and Rowe families, extending the Zenger family’s presence throughout Southeast Alaska and beyond. Although historical documentation of early Alaska women often focuses more on their husbands' or fathers' activities, Bertha Zenger’s life reflects the experience of many women who helped build stable family and community networks in the developing towns of Southeast Alaska. Through marriage, family life, and participation in the social fabric of Juneau and Douglas, she remained part of the generation that helped establish the region’s early civic community.

Zenger and Carrie Zenger; sister of Alfred Zenger Sr., Bertha Zenger Trudgeon, and Hilda Zenger Rowe; wife of Hubert C. Huehn Biography Theresa Zenger was a member of the Zenger pioneer family, one of the early immigrant households that established roots in Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period. She was the daughter of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger, who brought their family north during the period of economic expansion associated with the Klondike gold rush in the late nineteenth century. Theresa arrived in Juneau in October of 1898, when her mother, Carrie, traveled north with the Zenger children—Bertha, Alfred, Theresa, and Hilda—to join Sebastian, who had first come to Alaska seeking employment and opportunity. The family became part of the growing immigrant community that supported the mining economy of Southeast Alaska. During the early years of the twentieth century, the Zenger family established their home in downtown Juneau. For nearly a decade, beginning around 1910, they lived above the cigar manufacturing shop operated by Alfred Zenger Sr., Sebastian and Theresa’s brother Alfred Zenger Sr.. Their residence occupied the second floor of a wooden building located on the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets, while the cigar business operated on the ground floor. This arrangement reflected a common pattern in early Alaska towns, where families lived above or adjacent to the businesses that supported them. Tobacco shipped north by steamship in large hogsheads was manufactured into cigars by the Zenger family enterprise and sold to residents and visitors in Juneau’s growing commercial district. Around 1914, Theresa married Hubert C. Huehn, a linotype operator for the Daily Dispatch, one of Juneau’s early newspapers. Hubert was the son of John Esch Huehn and Amelia Lundy and had been born in 1890 in Morden, Manitoba, Canada. His work in the printing and newspaper trade placed the family within the emerging civic and informational life of the territorial capital. Following their marriage in Douglas in 1914, Theresa and Hubert later relocated to California. Like many early Alaska families, the Zengers and their extended relations often moved between Alaska and the West Coast as economic opportunities and family circumstances changed. Theresa remained part of the broader Zenger family network that helped shape the social life of early Juneau. Her siblings married into several other Southeast Alaska families, including the Trudgeon and Rowe families, linking the Zengers to a wider community of settlers whose descendants remained connected to the region for generations. Although historical documentation often preserves fewer details about the lives of pioneer women, Theresa Zenger’s story reflects the experience of many daughters of early immigrant families who grew up in Alaska’s frontier communities during the territorial period. Through family connections, marriage, and participation in the community's social life, she remained part of the extended network of families that contributed to the development of Juneau and Southeast Alaska.

Primary Name: Zenger, Hilda Filed as: Zenger, Hilda Also known as: Hilda Zenger Rowe Occupation / Association: Early Juneau resident; member of the Zenger pioneer family Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska; Seattle, Washington Family: Daughter of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger; sister of Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa Zenger, and Bertha Zenger Trudgeon; wife of Eugene Allen Rowe Biography Hilda Zenger was the youngest daughter of Sebastian B.

She arrived in Juneau in October 1898, when her mother, Carrie, brought the Zenger children—Bertha, Alfred, Theresa, and Hilda—to join Sebastian, who had earlier traveled north in search of work during the economic expansion surrounding the Klondike gold rush. Hilda grew up in Juneau during a period when the town was developing rapidly as a commercial and administrative center for Southeast Alaska. The Zenger family was part of the network of immigrant households that supported the mining economy and the maritime trade routes linking the region to Seattle and the Pacific Coast. For a number of years, the Zenger family lived above the cigar manufacturing shop operated by Sebastian and Hilda’s brother Alfred Zenger Sr.. Their residence was on the second floor of a wooden building at the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets in downtown Juneau. The cigar business operated on the ground floor, where tobacco shipped north by steamship was manufactured into cigars for local sale. In Juneau in 1916, Hilda married Eugene Allen Rowe. Rowe was the son of Richard Valentine Rowe and Maria Z. Miller and was born in 1894 in Madison, Wisconsin. The marriage reflected the continued movement of people between Alaska and the United States during the territorial period, as workers, merchants, and families migrated north and south in pursuit of economic opportunities. In 1919, Hilda and Eugene Rowe relocated to Seattle, joining many former Alaska residents who later established homes in Washington State while maintaining connections with family members who remained in Southeast Alaska. Through her family ties and early life in Juneau, Hilda remained part of the broader Zenger family network that helped shape the capital city's social and commercial life. Her siblings married into other Southeast Alaska families, including the Trudgeon and Huehn families, linking the Zengers with a wider community of pioneer households across the region. Hilda Zenger Rowe’s life illustrates the experience of many daughters of early Alaska settlers who grew up in frontier communities and later carried those connections into other parts of the Pacific Northwest. Through family relationships and shared history, she remained part of the generation that helped establish the social foundations of early Juneau.

Spickett was born in Bristol, England on January 4, 1858. He came to the United States with his parents in 1870, and when he was six years old, the family moved to Detroit, Michigan. In his youth, Spickett was drawn to the theatrical profession and became both a performer and manager-producer. He made two trips to England as a member of Haverly’s Minstrels. In 1891, he operated an amusement concession at the Chicago World’s Fair. In 1896, Spickett organized a touring company that performed at the Juneau Opera House. After leaving Alaska, he toured California for two years. While in California, he married Josephine Charlotte Clark in Sacramento. The couple returned to Juneau in 1898 to make their home. Spickett’s first major business venture in Juneau was the purchase of the Franklin Hotel in 1899, also known as the Occidental Annex at Front and Main Streets, which he operated until 1905. He later opened a liquor and cigar stand across the street. A staunch Republican, Spickett was appointed postmaster of Juneau in 1908 and served until 1912. During that period, he and his wife also operated a newsstand and music store in connection with the post office. After leaving the position, he sold the newsstand to James Barragar and entered the moving picture business.

He was born on March 20, 1847, in Inderøy, Nordre Trondhjem Stift, Norway. He was raised and educated in the Lutheran Church. At the age of twenty-two, he emigrated to the United States. On May 1, 1869, he boarded a steamer at Trondhjem, Norway, bound for England. After arriving at Shields, he traveled through Newcastle and Glasgow and then crossed the Atlantic aboard the Cambria, landing at Castle Garden, New York, on May 20, 1869. He then traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he first settled and began learning English while working for low wages. After about a year and a half, he moved to Mishawaka, Indiana, and later to Chicago, Illinois, where he obtained his citizenship papers. He lived in Chicago during the Great Fire of 1871 and suffered losses in that disaster. In 1876, he began traveling westward, working in various towns and cities before arriving in California in the early part of 1883. A year later, he moved to Tacoma, Washington, where he entered business and acquired property. The economic collapse of 1893 affected his business there. Wolland came to Alaska in the summer of 1895.

Lloyd Valentine Winter was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo. Alaska history enthusiasts familiar with outstanding archival photography will recognize the studio name Winter & Pond. During careers spanning more than fifty years, Lloyd V. Winter (1866–1945) and Edwin Percy Pond (1872–1943) compiled a vast catalog of photographs depicting the people and places of the North, particularly in Southeast Alaska and the Klondike. San Francisco artist Lloyd Valentine Winter was the fourth of five children born to Englishman Robert Winter, an artist and “picture dealer,” and his wife, Josephine of Maryland. The Winters encouraged their children’s talents in art, music, and trades. Their eldest daughter Emma became a music teacher; William worked as a plumber; Charles and Lloyd attended school; and the youngest child, Henry, was born when Josephine was in her forties and Robert in his fifties. According to the 1880 federal census of San Francisco, when Lloyd was fourteen, the Winter family shared a home with Edward Gage, a forty-year-old man who worked in a photographic gallery. This exposure may have influenced Lloyd’s later career. Winter arrived in Juneau in March 1890 and soon partnered with photographer George M. Landerkin. Together, they established the Landerkin & Winter Studio, a partnership that lasted until 1893, when Winter’s longtime friend, Percy Pond, arrived in Juneau. In 1894, Pond purchased Landerkin’s interest, and the Winter & Pond Studio was formed. The business expanded beyond portrait photography to include Alaska curios, special-order photography, and commercial assignments. Unlike many photographers of their time who worked only during the summer months, Winter and Pond remained in Alaska year-round. Their subjects included Tlingit families arriving for potlatches, miners pausing along the trail with their sleds, workers laying the Juneau-Skagway telegraph cable, and Chilkat dancers wearing ceremonial regalia. The Winter & Pond photograph collection—now held at the Alaska State Library in Juneau—contains numerous early images of Juneau, the Klondike Gold Rush, local celebrations, and mining activity. Winter’s ability to speak a Native language proved useful when the pair secretly observed a Haida dance ceremony in 1894. When they were discovered, the dancers warned them that it was a private ceremony meant only for Haida participants. Over time, the two photographers were adopted into the tribe, and each was given a Native name. Winter was called Kinda, meaning “winter,” while Pond was given the name Kitch-ka, meaning “Crow Man.” The photographers’ work documenting Alaska Native communities before, during, and after the Klondike Gold Rush contributed significantly to Alaska Native cultural studies. Their long association with Tlingit communities allowed them to learn about traditional practices and cultural history. Winter and Pond published several works on Alaska Native subjects. Anthropologist Edward L. Keithahn, author of the 1945 book Monuments in Cedar, acknowledged them as a source of information about the early Chilkat people. Winter personally followed the Trail of ’98 into the Yukon during the winter of 1897–1898, producing stereographic images for Underwood & Underwood and providing readers of Leslie’s Weekly with photographs of Gold Rush activity. Winter & Pond were also named the official Alaska photographers for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition held in Seattle in 1909. Both men were active in the Juneau community. They volunteered with the Juneau Fire Department, Hose Company No. 1. In 1915, Winter served as Patron of the Order of the Eastern Star, Juneau Chapter No. 7. Pond married a woman named Hattie, who appears in several photographs from the Winter & Pond collection, and the couple raised a family. Between 1915 and 1925, the Winter & Pond Company also owned and operated mining claims near Juneau. Photographs documenting their mining activities are preserved in the Alaska State Library archives. The partnership ended when Percy Pond died at age seventy-one on June 1, 1943. He was buried four days later in the Pioneer section of Evergreen Cemetery in Juneau. Lloyd V. Winter died in November 1945 at age seventy-nine and was buried on November 13 in the Masonic section of the same cemetery. Earlier that year, Winter had transferred ownership of the Winter & Pond Company to Francis Harrison, who continued operating the business until 1956. Today, images from the Winter & Pond studio appear on the walls of the Alaska State Capitol building in Juneau and in public and private collections across the country. The Alaska State Library in Juneau holds the bulk of the Winter & Pond Collection—approximately 3,000 images dating from 1893 to 1943.

James “Slim Jim” Winn was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo. Winn was born in Cornwall, England, in 1840. He came to the United States while still a young man. In 1872, he went to the Cassiar mining district by way of Wrangell and Telegraph Creek. He arrived in Juneau in 1882 and was reportedly the first white man to cross the Chilkoot Pass. He was accompanied on that trip by John McKenzie. He was also said to be the first white man to run the Five Finger Rapids and other rapids of the upper Yukon River. During his residence in Juneau, he was engaged in mining and prospecting. He made his home in Juneau continuously, with the exception of a trip to the interior in 1895, when he traveled down the Yukon River and returned by way of the coast, catching a trading vessel south from the mouth of the Yukon. He held interests in real estate and mining property in Juneau and the surrounding area. James Winn died in Juneau on August 24, 1916.

John Winkie was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo. In the passing of John Winkie early one morning at St. Ann’s Hospital, Alaska lost another true pioneer. He was a personal friend of many of the early pioneers of Juneau, including, among others, S. Zynda, B. M. Behrends, and Charles W. Carter. John Winkie was born in Scotland in 1865. He left there with his parents and settled in Michigan. In 1883, he went to California, where he was employed on a farm. At the age of twenty, Alaska lured him north, and he arrived in 1886. From that time, he was employed in various mining camps as a steward and cook, and for the fifteen years prior to his death, he worked at his occupation at Chichagof. In August of his final year, he came to Juneau because his health had begun to fail. At that time, he prepared his will and entrusted it to Howard D. Stabler. About a month later, he entered St. Ann’s Hospital, where he remained until his death.

Charles W. Wells was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo. Wells was born in Pennsylvania on July 17, 1847. He came west to California in 1867 and later moved to Washington Territory. In 1870, he went to the Omineca mining district in British Columbia, and in 1874 to the Cassiar district. In 1879, he traveled to Sitka and was hired by George Pilz as a blacksmith. There, he worked on building a stamp mill at Silver Bay. Wells was among the first men to come to Juneau from Sitka in the late fall of 1880. He staked both lode and placer claims along Gold Creek, some of which later became part of the Ebner Mine and provided Wells with substantial dividends. Wells claimed a town lot on Main Street, now partly occupied by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and purchased half of another lot at the corner of Front and Main Streets from George Pilz. He constructed a building on the waterside of Front Street but was ordered by a town meeting to remove it. At that time, it was considered important to keep the waterfront open so canoes and rowboats could be pulled up along the shore. Wells later leased a portion of a lot on Front Street from Pierre Erussard, built a blacksmith shop there, and operated it for nine years. In addition to his work as a blacksmith, Wells continued prospecting and staked several mining claims, which he later sold. On December 21, 1894, Wells married Miss S. B. Fisher in Juneau. He later became active in politics and in 1905 was appointed to the Republican Territorial Committee, serving on it until his death. Charles W. Wells died in Seattle, Washington, on January 12, 1917.

Alice Josephine “Josie” Keys White was a Charter Member of Juneau Igloo No. 6. She was born July 7, 1872, in Goldendale, Washington. Her parents were Calvin S. Keys and Jane Freelove Peck Keys. She married Elmer J. “Stroller” White on December 30, 1891, in Tacoma, Washington. They had two sons, John McBurney White and Albert Hamilton White, and one daughter, Lenora White. She came to Alaska with her husband, a well-known pioneer Alaska journalist. The Whites arrived in Skagway when the town was still a tent city of gold-rush stampeders. Mr. White took a job with the Skagway News, a weekly newspaper, and the family remained in Skagway until the autumn of 1899. They then traveled over the newly completed White Pass Railroad to Lake Bennett. Although they did not have the $500 required to cross the Canadian border, a barge owner told the Canadian officials that Mr. White was working as a cook on the barge. They boarded the barge in October, late in the season, and floated down the Yukon River toward Dawson. They came within fifteen miles of Dawson before the river froze. “We went to Dawson for the mad excitement of it,” Mrs. White later recalled. “We didn’t know what we would do, but Mr. White got a job with the Dawson Nugget right away.” The family remained in Dawson until 1905, when they moved to Whitehorse. Mr. White purchased the Whitehorse Star, and the family remained there until 1916. Their son, Albert H. White, was born in Whitehorse on August 7, 1907. In 1916, they moved to Douglas, Alaska, where Mr. White purchased the Douglas Island News. “Douglas was the big town then,” she recalled. “The Treadwell Mine was going full swing.” The Whites completed construction of a new newspaper plant in time for the Treadwell mine cave-in of 1917. The new plant included a cast-off press from the Juneau Empire. The press was moved back to Juneau from Douglas in 1920 when Stroller’s Weekly was established. “I didn’t work much on the paper,” Mrs. White said. “I had two children to bring up and a little grouse-shooting to do. But when Stroller was sick, I would take over.” Mrs. White was employed as assistant curator of the Territorial Museum in 1925 by the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, who had established the museum in 1920. Her husband died in 1930. “I was the one who always talked about getting out of Alaska,” she later said. She retired in 1950 and moved to Los Angeles, California, to live with her daughter. She died there on May 26, 1956.

Edward Webster arrived in Juneau in 1881 and staked placer claims in the Silver Bow Basin with his father, William I. Webster (Stone 1982). Over the next ten years, the Websters located and developed the Humboldt Mine on Gold Creek. During this period, they established the first stamp mill in the Juneau Gold Belt (Alaska Monthly 1907). Webster also worked as a pile driver contractor, participating in the construction of wharves along the Juneau waterfront (Alaska Monthly 1907). Frank Bach arrived in Juneau in 1883. He later moved across the Gastineau Channel to Douglas and opened a merchandise business (Alaska Monthly 1907; DeArmond 1967). In 1893, business partners Edward Webster and Frank Bach constructed a two-telephone system across the channel to improve communication between their residences. The system proved successful, and the Treadwell Gold Mining Company soon connected to the line. As other residents requested telephone service, Webster and Bach formed the Juneau and Douglas Telephone Company. By the late 1890s, the partnership dissolved and Webster assumed full ownership of the company. Edward Webster married Anna Faulkner-Scott-Knutson Webster on August 10, 1910, in Juneau. She brought three daughters from previous marriages into the household: twins Mabel Grace Scott and Minerva Beatrice Scott, and Carol “Carrie” Swanhilde Knutson. The Edward Webster House, located at 135-139 West Second Street, sits on the east ridge of Telephone Hill overlooking downtown Juneau. Photographs of Juneau from the 1880s confirm that the Webster House was among the earliest homes constructed in the area. Robert E. Hurley, the grandson of Edward and Anna Webster, owned the home when the 1984 Telephone Hill Historic Site and Structures Survey was conducted. The Webster family owned and operated the Juneau and Douglas Telephone Company from 1893 until 1968, providing the first commercial telephone service in Alaska. The telephone company operated from the Webster home from 1915 to 1958 (DeArmond 1967; Hurley & Carrigan 1983). Edward Webster began construction of his house in 1882, and numerous additions were made during the following seventy years (Hurley & Carrigan 1983). District Recorder records and the 1894 plat map of the Juneau Townsite show Edward Webster and Frank Bach owning Lots 7 and 8 in Block 1. After Edward Webster’s death in 1918, his wife Anna assumed management of the company and continued operating it until her death in 1957.

Porcupine Mining District Discovery In 1898, prospectors Mix Silva, Edward Findley, and Perry Wiley, who had been grubstaked by Jack Dalton, discovered placer gold on Porcupine Creek north of Haines near the Dalton Trail. Following the discovery, the Porcupine Mining District was formally organized on October 22, 1898. On November 5, 1898, Dalton and his three prospectors located the Discovery Claim. Additional claims were subsequently located by Dalton and his business partners, E. B. Hanley and John Malony. The district experienced a stampede in 1899 as prospectors rushed to the area. Gold was discovered in nearby creeks, and additional deposits of gold and copper were found as far as sixty miles away, including in the Rainy Hollow district in Canada. During the first year of mining, gold production was reportedly worth approximately $50,000, of which about $40,000 came from Dalton’s Discovery Claim. The deposits in the district were rich but fairly deep, requiring significant infrastructure to mine effectively. Miles of ditches and flumes were constructed to supply water for hydraulic lifts, sometimes called gravel elevators, where miners processed the gravel to recover gold. Commercial support for the new district was supplied by the Porcupine Trading Company, organized by Dalton, Hanley, and Malony on August 1, 1899. The company imported mining equipment and extended liberal credit to other miners operating in the district. In 1900, Dalton and his partners shipped in approximately 300 tons of equipment and supplies. The mines operated profitably until about 1905, when a major flood destroyed much of the mining infrastructure. Recognizing that most of the easily recovered gold had likely been extracted, Dalton, Hanley, and Malony sold their interests at a profit in 1907. SourceAlaska Mining Hall of Fame 

Douglas Cemetery Practices Laura McCarley, author of Treadwell, Alaska, reports that blanket burials in unmarked graves were the standard practice of the mining companies in the early years of the Treadwell and Douglas mining communities. McCarley also notes that the newer Douglas Cemetery, likely the City Cemetery, was laid out in organized 20-by-20-foot plots with streets and alleyways between the burial sections. A German cabinet maker and hardware merchant, John Feusi, entered the undertaking business in Douglas. Tombstones for the cemetery were reportedly carved from Tolkeen marble by Frank Weaver, a partially blind Tlingit man from Taku Village. SourceSurvey and Inventory of Douglas Historic Cemeteries

Ashby was born in Missouri in 1865. In 1884, he and his brother Oscar left their pig farm in Missouri at the urging of Richard T. Harris. They arrived in Juneau on May 11 and worked in various enterprises, including employment at the Treadwell Mine. One of Thomas’s first prospecting trips was with Joe Juneau to Glacier Bay. In 1886, he and his brother traveled north, built a pole boat, and mined in the Stewart River area. They returned to Juneau in October of that year. In 1887, Thomas returned to the Forty Mile area to prospect. Back in Juneau in 1891, the Ashby brothers and William Leek built a two-story building on Front Street at the site of the present Imperial Bar. The establishment began as a saloon known as Ashby and Leek, and later the Missouri. It was later known as the Louvre Theater and Saloon. Thomas was among the early stampeders to Dawson in 1897 during the Klondike Gold Rush, where he mined on Eldorado, Below Bonanza, and other creeks. He met and married Mary Andreafsky at Holy Cross. In 1899, Mary joined her husband in Dawson and crossed the Chilkoot Pass, carrying their three-month-old baby, Charles, on her back while a friend carried their two-year-old, Inez. The family later moved to Nome, where Thomas and his brother became partners in the well-known Topkuk Ditch Company. Mary died in 1913. Thomas continued prospecting afterward and staked claims in many locations north and south of Juneau. He died in Tacoma, Washington, in 1951 from complications following surgery.

Andrews Occupation / Association: Author; Alaska historian; U.S. Customs Service; U.S. Bureau of Education; charter member, Juneau Men's Igloo Born: 1862, Ashtabula, Ohio Died: — Parents: — Spouse: — Children: Three children (names unknown) Associated places: Ashtabula, Ohio; Brownsville, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Skagway, Alaska; Eagle, Alaska; Kivalina, Alaska; Point Barrow, Alaska; Wainwright, Alaska; Nome, Alaska; Deering, Alaska Keywords: Clarence Leroy Andrews, Clarence L Andrews, Alaska historian, Story of Alaska author, Eskimo and His Reindeer in Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo charter member Tags: Clarence Leroy Andrews, Clarence L Andrews, Alaska historians, Juneau pioneers, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Alaska Bureau of Education Biography Clarence Leroy Andrews was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. Andrews was born on a farm in Ashtabula, Ohio, in 1862. When he was two years old, his parents left Ohio for the Pacific Coast, traveling via Panama. During the voyage, his father died and was buried at sea, but his mother continued with him to Brownsville, Oregon, where her father’s sister lived. In 1883, Andrews went to work at the Seattle Post Office, which at the time required only three employees. He later homesteaded in Oregon, where he was elected Clerk of Morrow County. At another time, he spent seven years in the office of the King County auditor in Seattle. When the Duke of Abruzzi made the first ascent of Mount St. Elias in 1897, Andrews was a member of the expedition and later became the last living survivor of the party. This experience began an enduring interest in Alaska that continued throughout his life. As the years passed, he became nationally known for his knowledge of the Territory's history and resources. Judge James Wickersham wrote that Andrews’s Story of Alaska was the most complete and accurate work of its kind published. His personal library of Alaskan material became known as the second largest in existence. While in Alaska, he served in the Customs Service at Skagway as deputy collector in charge. During this time, a tragic flood swept through the town where his wife and three children were living in Oregon, and they were drowned. This was the second major tragedy of his life, as his first wife had died in childbirth. In 1904, Andrews joined the Customs Service in Eagle. He later returned to Seattle as a special agent for the Department of the Interior to assemble exhibits for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. He later worked with the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, but returned to Alaska in 1923 with the United States Bureau of Education, serving at Kivalina, Point Barrow, and Wainwright. In 1926, he was sent to Nome as superintendent in charge of reindeer work on the Seward Peninsula, and in 1928, he was assigned to Deering as teacher and local supervisor. Andrews returned to the United States in 1929 and worked to promote Eskimo ownership of reindeer, publishing a quarterly pamphlet titled The Eskimo. Andrews was the author of The Story of Sitka, The Eskimo and His Reindeer in Alaska, and Wrangell and the Gold of the Cassiar. He also wrote numerous articles for Travel, Nature, Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, and National Geographic. He was a charter member of the Alaska Yukon Pioneers Cabin No. 1 in Seattle and a member of the Pioneers of Washington.

Iona attended Juneau High School as part of the first freshman class to use the new high school building. She played basketball for Juneau High and graduated in 1932. She later fondly recalled traveling by boat to Douglas for basketball games, where the gym was heated by wood stoves and curtains were hung to serve as changing rooms. Even into her sixties, she enjoyed attending games and enthusiastically cheering—often loudly—at both players and referees. She met her husband, Henning Berggren, while they were both students at Juneau High School. He lived up Starr Hill while she lived at the foot of the hill. They married on August 2, 1933, and purchased their only home at the top of Evergreen Avenue. At the time, the bank hesitated to loan them money because the house was considered so far outside the main part of town. The couple had two children: their son, Elvirid H., born September 27, 1934, and their daughter, Nancy I., born October 19, 1936. Iona served on the advisory board for the Order of Rainbow Girls and was a Girl Scout leader in the 1940s.

C. Boyd came to Douglas around 1885 and was referred to as the "grand old man of Douglas." He was very active in Douglas civic affairs. Boyd was a prospector and served as manager of the Alaska Snettisham Gold Mining Company. In 1899, mining engineer W. A. Sanders agreed to give the people of Douglas “the dry knoll this side of Lawson Creek” for use as a cemetery if the townspeople would not object to his mining patent. Sanders also agreed to build a road to the grounds, stating that his word was sufficient rather than putting the agreement in writing. Immediately after the meeting, a Cemetery Committee consisting of P. H. Fox, M. J. O'Connor, Reverend Peplogle, and W. C. Boyd took possession of the knoll and ran a line from Third Street in Douglas to the area. In November 1900, Boyd was appointed clerk of the Douglas Cemetery Committee and was responsible for maintaining all cemetery records. He was also placed in charge of the road gang and later appointed a grave digger because earlier diggers had not been “observing the plan of the streets and alleys as marked out.” In 1910, Boyd moved to California for health reasons but later returned to Alaska, where he lived at the Pioneer Home in Sitka. He died there in 1917 at nearly eighty years of age.

His Chinese name is not recorded consistently and appears in various historical sources as As Hie in Juneau in 1881, Chew Chung Thui, Hi Chung in Juneau newspapers of 1892 and 1894, and Lee Hing upon joining the “87” Alaska Pioneers Association. He also appears as Ting Tu Wee or Chung Thui when registering under the Chinese Registration Act of 1899, and as Joe Ching Choy when joining the Pioneers of Alaska Men’s Igloo No. 6. Joe immigrated from China to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1864. Later that same year, he moved to a mining camp in Boise, Idaho. In 1874, he followed the gold rush back to British Columbia and established a bakery and general store around Dease Lake. He became known for fair prices, particularly around 1875 when the Stikine River froze and created a severe food shortage in the Yukon. Joe possessed the only supply of flour. Rather than take advantage of the situation for profit, he rationed his flour to the miners according to their needs, asking only that he be repaid when the shortage ended. In 1879, Joe moved to Wrangell, where he purchased the abandoned steam liner Hope and converted its hull into a restaurant and bakery while renting out the staterooms. The business prospered for about a year until Wrangell began to decline. Joe then moved to Sitka, where he operated another bakery. He arrived in Juneau, then known as Rockwell, in 1881. There, he purchased half of a town lot at the corner of Third Street and Main Street for $60 and opened a bakery where he lived and worked for the next thirty-six years. In May 1882, the United States government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act. The persecution and violence that followed drove many Chinese people from towns and cities across America. Anti-Chinese sentiment reached a boiling point in Juneau on August 6, 1886. On that day, all Chinese residents were rounded up at gunpoint and placed aboard two schooners to be sent south. When the mob came for Joe, however, they found his bakery surrounded by armed men whose lives he had saved during the Cassiar food shortage. Those men stood guard with loaded rifles, and Joe remained. He became the only person of Chinese descent allowed to remain in Juneau and eventually one of the town’s leading citizens. Joe later became a charter member of the “87” Alaska Pioneers Association and the Pioneers of Alaska Men’s Igloo No. 6. Joe Ching Choy died of heart failure in 1917 and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Juneau, Alaska.

Montgomery Davis was a charter member of the Juneau Men’s Igloo. Davis was born in Juneau in 1894. His experience with boats, engines, and navigation, in partnership with his brother Trevor, led him to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War I. He served as a Quartermaster aboard a sub-chaser, was later reassigned to the battleship Oregon, and subsequently transferred to a freighter operating in the Atlantic, which allowed him to visit his mother’s sister in England. In the early 1920s, Cedric operated a boat for the Hearst-Chichagof Mining Company and owned a mine on Crestof Island. He enjoyed prospecting there and along the Taku River. At the onset of World War II, Cedric worked for the U.S. Army in Nome, operating the diesel electrical plant. When not working aboard boats, he stayed at the old Davis family home on Sixth Street with his sister Cordelia and her family. After his sister and her husband moved to Seattle, Cedric made one of the smaller Sixth Street Davis houses his home. In the 1950s, he joined his brother, Trevor, in developing the Pinewood Park subdivision on land owned by the Davis family. He also helped construct cabins for Carol and her daughters on land obtained by Carol under the U.S. Small Tract Act. When the vessel Cordelia D was traded for the trim Sylvita, Cedric traveled with Carol and Trevor aboard the new boat to the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962. In later years, he enjoyed spending winters in Mexico and visiting Seattle. Friends remembered Cedric as a kind and generous man who liked to see everyone happy, especially children, to whom he frequently gave money for ice cream. He never married. Cedric died at Bartlett Memorial Hospital in 1977 at the age of 83 and was buried next to his parents at Evergreen Cemetery in Juneau.

Primary Name: Davis, Trevor P. Montgomery Filed as: davis_trevor_p_montgomery Also known as: Trevor P. Davis, Trevor Davis Occupation / Association: Photographer; Boat Operator; Business Owner; Charter Member, Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6 Born: 1892, Alameda, California Died: 1990, Juneau, Alaska Parents: Spouse: Carol Beery Davis Children: Sylvia Davis, Shirley Davis, Constance Davis, Patte Davis Associated places: Juneau Alaska, Alameda California, Seattle Washington, San Francisco California Keywords: Trevor P Montgomery Davis, Trevor Davis photographer, Snap Shoppe Juneau, Juneau photographers, Here and There in Southeast Alaska Biography Trevor P. Montgomery Davis was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6, where he served a term as Secretary. Davis was born in 1892 in Alameda, California, where his mother, Frances, went for the birth. Within three months, the family returned to Juneau. At the age of twelve, he began working on the Davis properties. In 1910, he purchased a sailboat and converted it to a gas boat in partnership with his brother Cedric. In 1914, the brothers traded the small boat for the Cordelia D and began operating a charter business for hunting and cruising. Trevor earned an operator's and pilot’s license for a 100-ton vessel and, in 1917, completed the requirements for an engineer’s license at the Duthrie Shipyards in Seattle, Washington. He later joined the United States Navy and was stationed at Bremerton, Washington; San Diego, California; and the Great Lakes Naval Station in Chicago, Illinois. Photography became a major interest for Davis beginning in 1912 when he acquired his first camera. He developed a technique for oil-tinting enlarged photographs and sold his work at the Nugget Shop and other gift stores in Juneau in June. Established photographers Winter & Pond and Case & Draper encouraged him and provided photographs and advice. In 1921, Davis exhibited his photographs in San Francisco, and in 1926, he published a booklet of his early images titled Here and There in Southeast Alaska. Trevor was one of seven members of the committee that selected the Alaska state flag and voted for the design that was ultimately adopted in 1927. He was also a charter member of the American Legion and the Juneau Yacht Club. As a member of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for forty-eight years, he promoted numerous civic projects, including the development of Juneau’s first small boat harbor and breakwater. Davis also wrote articles about his experiences in Southeast Alaska for newspapers and magazines. In the spring of 1921, he met Carol Beery, who had come to Juneau and was searching for the wild violets displayed in shop windows. Davis offered to show her where they grew. The trip involved traveling aboard the Cordelia D and reaching Sheep Creek Basin via the Thane tramway. The excursion began a romance, and the two were married in 1922. They raised four daughters: Sylvia, Shirley, Connie, and Patte. In 1934, Davis opened a photographic business on Seward Street where he developed, printed, and tinted photographs. He became an Eastman Kodak dealer, and the Snap Shoppe operated successfully for twenty-five years. One of his well-known photographs, Juneau’s Harbor Lights, required a one-hour exposure on a clear night in 1942. When a passing fishing boat disturbed the reflection, he was forced to repeat the entire exposure to achieve the desired image. His work emphasized contrasts and composition, particularly winter light and shadow. As photography evolved, he expanded from black-and-white images to color photography and accumulated an extensive collection of slides and films. Many friends and community members attended his public presentations. While working for Prince William Sound Canneries, he filmed salmon runs and bears on color motion picture film. After retiring from the photography business, Davis developed the Pinewood Park subdivision. He and his wife later piloted their boat, the Sylvita, to the Seattle World’s Fair, where they joined family and friends. In his later years, he traveled widely, including a trip across the eastern United States with a Tlingit dance group during the U.S. Bicentennial, journeys across Alaska during the state’s Centennial celebration, visits to relatives on the West Coast, and travel in the South Pacific. Davis later authored a pictorial history of the city titled Looking Back on Juneau – The First Hundred Years. Trevor Davis died at the Pioneers’ Home in Juneau in 1990 at the age of ninety-seven and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. He was survived by his wife and daughters, Sylvia, Shirley, and Constance.

Primary Name: Dalton, Jack Filed as: dalton_jack Also known as: Jack Dalton, Jack Miller Occupation / Association: Freighter, Explorer, Entrepreneur, Klondike Transportation Pioneer Born: June 25, 1856, Michigan (most probable) Died: December 16, 1944, San Francisco, California Parents: Unknown Spouse: Anna Krippeahne Dalton; earlier unnamed spouse Children: Jack Dalton Jr., Margaret Dalton, James W. Dalton, Josephine Dalton Associated places: Juneau Alaska, Haines Alaska, Pyramid Harbor Alaska, Porcupine Mining District Alaska, Cordova Alaska, Yakutat Alaska, Chickaloon Alaska, Klondike Yukon Keywords: Jack Dalton, Dalton Trail, Klondike freighting, Dalton Trail Company, Porcupine Mining District, Copper River Northwestern Railway Biography Jack Dalton's life of nearly ninety years spanned an era of extraordinary change in Alaska and the Yukon. As Alaska's premier freighter during the Gold Rush era, he witnessed the transition from pack animals and human labor to the mechanized age of railroads and aircraft. Accounts of Dalton's early life are inconsistent. His birthplace has been listed as Oklahoma, Kansas, or the Cherokee Strip, but his California death certificate records that he was most likely born in Michigan on June 25, 1856. Dalton had only a limited formal education but became largely self-educated through reading and writing. He possessed a wide range of practical frontier skills and developed a reputation as a formidable and capable man with a quick temper. He was known as a skilled horseman, hunter, cook, and boatman. As a young man, he traveled widely across the American West, at one time using the name Jack Miller. By the early 1880s, he had moved to Burns, Oregon, where he operated a logging business. A violent altercation there resulted in the fatal shooting of a cook during a struggle, prompting Dalton to leave the area. Dalton eventually traveled to San Francisco and joined a sealing ship bound for the Arctic coast. The crew was arrested for illegal sealing and jailed in Sitka. After gaining his freedom in the mid-1880s, Dalton remained in Alaska and quickly developed a reputation as a skilled wilderness guide and negotiator with Indigenous communities. He learned Chinook Jargon, the regional trade language of the Pacific Northwest. In 1886, Dalton joined the Schwatka–New York Times expedition attempting to climb Mount St. Elias. The expedition reached approximately 5,700 feet before being forced to retreat due to illness. Dalton remained in the Yakutat region afterward, prospecting and exploring coastal areas around Disenchantment Bay. In 1890, Dalton participated in the Frank Leslie Newspaper Expedition led by E. Hazard Wells with explorer E. J. Glave. The expedition crossed Chilkat Pass and explored interior river systems, including the Alsek River. Dalton and Glave became the first known non-Native explorers to descend the lower Alsek River by canoe. During the early 1890s, Dalton pioneered the use of pack horses for transportation between the Alaska coast and the Yukon interior. He developed what became known as the Dalton Trail, running from Pyramid Harbor near present-day Haines across the coastal mountains toward the Yukon River. The trail was completed before the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897 and quickly became a major transportation route. At its peak, trains of more than 250 horses carried freight and livestock to the goldfields. Dalton received permission from the U.S. government to collect tolls along portions of the trail while allowing Chilkat people to travel freely. Dalton was closely associated with Juneau attorney John F. Malony, who frequently partnered with him in business ventures. Together, they operated the Dalton Trail Company, the Dalton Trading and Transportation Company, and the Dalton Pony Express Company. Dalton also played a role in the development of the Porcupine mining district near Haines after gold was discovered there in 1898 by prospectors he had grubstaked. Dalton and partners established the Porcupine Trading Company to support mining operations. Later, Dalton assisted with survey efforts for the construction of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway. His reconnaissance helped demonstrate that a rail route up the Copper River was feasible, eventually leading to the construction of a railroad to the Kennecott copper mines. Dalton continued to work as a freighter and transportation contractor into the early twentieth century. In 1913, he undertook a difficult contract hauling 900 tons of coal from the Chickaloon mine to Cook Inlet for testing by the U.S. Navy. The expedition required constructing over forty miles of winter road and hauling coal by horse-drawn sleds. Dalton later moved operations to Cordova, where he ran sawmills and transportation companies. In 1915, many of his Cordova holdings were purchased by interests associated with the Kennecott Copper Corporation. Dalton married twice and had four children, including James W. Dalton, an engineer whose name was later given to the Dalton Highway on Alaska's North Slope. After leaving Alaska, Dalton lived in the Seattle and San Francisco areas and even prospected for diamonds in British Guiana in the early 1920s. Jack Dalton died in San Francisco on December 16, 1944, at the age of eighty-nine. In 1942, the United States Army reopened portions of the historic Dalton Trail while constructing the Alaska-Canada Highway. Sources Berton, Pierre. Klondike: The Last Great Gold Rush 1896-1899.

Fremming was born in Germany around 1864. Like many immigrants drawn to the opportunities of the far north during Alaska’s mining era, he traveled to Alaska around the turn of the twentieth century. After arriving in the territory, he made Southeast Alaska his home for the remainder of his life. His principal occupation was prospecting and mining. Much of his activity took place in the Berners Bay mining district, located north of Juneau along Lynn Canal. Berners Bay was an important mining region during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, attracting prospectors and miners searching for gold and other mineral resources. Prospectors working in the Berners Bay district often endured difficult conditions, traveling by boat or trail to remote claims and working seasonally in rugged terrain. Men such as Fremming formed part of the network of miners and laborers who supported the broader mining economy that sustained the early development of Juneau and surrounding communities. Frank Fremming died at St. Ann’s Hospital in Juneau on October 27, 1931. His death was attributed to ailments incidental to advanced age. He had lived in Southeast Alaska for many years and was remembered as one of the early prospectors associated with the region’s mining history. Sources Daily Alaska Empire, October 28, 1931.

Forrest was among the early residents of Juneau who helped form the Pioneers of Alaska, one of the territory’s oldest fraternal organizations dedicated to preserving the history and fellowship of Alaska’s early settlers. Forrest was a charter member of the Juneau Men’s Igloo, indicating that he was part of the founding membership when the local lodge was organized. Charter membership in the Pioneers of Alaska typically comprised individuals who had lived in Alaska during the early years of settlement and contributed to the civic and economic life of their communities. The Juneau Men’s Igloo served as one of the principal fraternal organizations in Southeast Alaska, bringing together early residents of the region for social fellowship, mutual assistance, and the preservation of Alaska’s pioneer history. As a charter member, G. M. Forrest helped establish this organization and laid the foundation for the traditions that continue within the Pioneers of Alaska today. Although few surviving records describe Forrest’s personal life in detail, his status as a charter member places him among the early group of settlers who helped organize the Juneau Igloo and maintain the institutional memory of Alaska’s territorial era.

Fisk was born in August 1878 in Pennsylvania. Like many young men of his generation, he was drawn north during the closing years of the nineteenth century when Alaska and the Yukon were experiencing rapid growth connected with mining and frontier development. He arrived in Alaska in 1897, during the same period that thousands of prospectors and workers were traveling north in response to the Klondike gold rush. While many newcomers attempted prospecting, others found work supporting the rapidly expanding communities that served miners and travelers. Fisk worked in the restaurant business, an occupation that played an important role in frontier towns such as Juneau, where miners, dock workers, merchants, and travelers depended on boarding houses, cafes, and restaurants for daily meals. Establishments providing food and lodging were essential to sustaining the population of early Southeast Alaska communities. His participation as a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo reflects his presence in the community during the Pioneers of Alaska organization's formative years. The fraternal order was created to promote fellowship among Alaska’s early settlers and to preserve the stories and history of those who helped build the territory’s early towns. Although only limited biographical details about Fisk survive in historical records, his membership among the charter pioneers places him among the early residents who contributed to the development and civic life of Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period.

1934 Charter Member of the Svalbard Lodge of the Sons of Norway.

Flobergsund, Olaf Olaf Flobergsund was a member of the Norwegian fraternal community in Juneau and one of the charter members of the Svalbard Lodge of the Sons of Norway, which was organized in Juneau in 1934. The Sons of Norway was established to promote Norwegian culture, language, and mutual aid among immigrants and their descendants in the United States. The formation of the Svalbard Lodge in Juneau reflects the strong Norwegian presence in Southeast Alaska during the early twentieth century. As a charter member, Flobergsund participated in the lodge's founding and early activities, including cultural programs, social gatherings, and support networks for Norwegian families in the community. The organization became an important social institution for Norwegian immigrants and their descendants in Juneau, preserving traditions and strengthening ties among families with Scandinavian heritage.

Primary Name: Feldon, Sam Filed as: Feldon, Sam Also known as: Sam Feldon Occupation / Association: Property owner; early Juneau resident Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Telephone Hill, Juneau, Alaska Keywords: Sam Feldon, Feldon family, Telephone Hill, Juneau historic homes, Anita Kodzoff House, early Juneau residents, Juneau property owners Biography Sam Feldon was an early resident of Juneau associated with the historic residential neighborhood on the southeastern slope of Telephone Hill. Feldon owned the house located at 107 West First Street, commonly known as the Anita Kodzoff House, until 1945. The residence formed part of the hillside community that developed during the early decades of Juneau’s growth as a mining town and later as the territorial capital of Alaska. Telephone Hill became one of the city’s earliest residential districts, housing miners, merchants, laborers, and families who worked along the nearby waterfront and in the commercial core of downtown Juneau. Homes on the southeast face of Telephone Hill were typically modest wooden structures built on steep terrain overlooking Gastineau Channel. These houses reflected the practical architecture of early Southeast Alaska communities, where limited flat land required creative building methods and compact residential layouts. The structure at 107 West First Street later became associated with Anita Kodzoff, whose name is now commonly used to identify the house in historical surveys of the neighborhood. The building was one of many residences documented during preservation studies examining the historic resources of Telephone Hill. Although relatively little biographical information survives about Sam Feldon, his ownership of the property represents one of the many individuals and families who contributed to the development of the Telephone Hill neighborhood during Juneau’s formative years.

< Primary Name: Findley, Edward Filed as: Findley, Edward Also known as: Edward Findley Occupation / Association: Prospector; miner; discoverer of placer gold on Porcupine Creek; Porcupine Mining District discovery party Associated places: Porcupine Creek, Alaska; Haines, Alaska; Dalton Trail; Rainy Hollow district, British Columbia Keywords: Edward Findley, Porcupine Creek gold discovery, Porcupine Mining District, Dalton Trail prospectors, Jack Dalton mining operations, Mix Silva prospector, Perry Wiley prospector, Alaska gold rush prospectors, Haines Alaska mining history Biography Edward Findley was one of the prospectors associated with the discovery of placer gold on Porcupine Creek north of Haines along the Dalton Trail. In 1898, prospectors Mix Silva, Edward Findley, and Perry Wiley, who had been grubstaked by Jack Dalton, discovered placer gold on Porcupine Creek north of Haines near the Dalton Trail. Following the discovery, the Porcupine Mining District was formally organized on October 22, 1898. On November 5, 1898, Dalton and his three prospectors located the Discovery Claim. Additional claims were soon located by Dalton and his business partners, E. B. Hanley and John Malony. The district was stampeded in 1899 as prospectors rushed into the region. Gold was discovered in nearby creeks, and both gold and copper were found in areas as much as sixty miles distant, including the Rainy Hollow district in Canada. The first year’s gold production was reportedly worth about $50,000, of which approximately $40,000 came from Dalton’s Discovery Claim. The deposits in the district were rich but fairly deep, requiring complex infrastructure to mine effectively. Miles of ditches and flumes were constructed to supply water to hydraulic lifts, sometimes called gravel elevators, where miners recovered the gold. Commercial support for the new district was supplied by the Porcupine Trading Company, organized by Dalton, Hanley, and Malony on August 1, 1899. The company brought in mining equipment and extended liberal credit to other miners working in the district. In 1900, Dalton and his partners shipped approximately 300 tons of equipment and supplies into the district. The mines operated profitably until about 1905, when a major flood washed out a considerable amount of the mining infrastructure. Recognizing that much of the easily recovered gold had likely been extracted, Dalton, Hanley, and Malony sold their interests profitably in 1907. Edward Findley’s role in the original discovery party places him among the early prospectors whose work helped open the Porcupine Mining District and contributed to the mining history of the Haines region during Alaska’s gold rush era.

Fox, P.H. Occupation: Baker; Douglas community organizer Active in Alaska: 1880s–1890s Associated places: Douglas, Alaska; Douglas Island, Alaska; Juneau, Alaska Biography P.H. Fox was among the early residents of Douglas Island during the 1880s, when the Treadwell mining operations drew workers and their families to the Juneau–Douglas area. By 1886 a number of families connected with the Treadwell mines had begun settling permanently on Douglas Island. Among the early residents were Richard McCormick, Nickolas King, George Shatter, Mike McKanna, P.H. Fox, and Henry Mead. Fox participated in Douglas's early commercial life. The first bakery in the community was opened by P.H. Fox and Mike McKanna, providing baked goods and supplies for the rapidly growing mining town. Fox was also active in civic affairs in Douglas. In 1899, mining engineer W.A. Sanders agreed to give the residents of Douglas “the dry knoll this side of Lawson Creek” for use as a cemetery if the community would not object to his land patent. Sanders also agreed to build a road to the cemetery grounds, though he declined to put the agreement in writing and stated that his word was sufficient. Immediately following the meeting, a Cemetery Committee consisting of P.H. Fox, M.J. O’Connor, Reverend Peplogle, and W.C. Boyd took possession of the knoll and ran a line from Third Street in Douglas to the site, helping establish what would become one of the early burial grounds serving the Douglas community.

Fisher, Tom Occupation: Riverboat operator / early marine transportation Associated Places: Douglas, Alaska; Juneau, Alaska Biography Tom Fisher was an early resident of the Juneau–Douglas area and participated in the development of local marine transportation during the late nineteenth century. By 1888, Fisher and Frank Tibbits installed a boiler and engine in a Columbia River–type sailboat and enclosed the vessel so it could carry approximately twelve passengers. The converted vessel was named the Marion. The Marion served as one of the early small passenger vessels operating in the waters around Douglas and Juneau, reflecting the importance of locally modified craft in the development of transportation between mining camps and settlements in Southeast Alaska during the territorial period. During the early years of Juneau and Douglas, small vessels like the Marion played an essential role in transporting residents, workers, and supplies between communities before larger steamships and regular ferry services became common.

George was born on September 15, 1891 at Park City, Utah, the son of Martin and Caroline George. He was educated in the public and high schools of Juneau. One of his former high school teachers described him as “a dreamy-eyed youngster with a quick answer to questions asked him.” As a young man, he pursued studies in commercial administration at the Portland, Oregon Business College. In 1911, he began his business career in Juneau as a bookkeeper for the B. M. Behrends store and bank in Juneau. After about a year, he entered the furniture business, which he operated until selling it in 1918. For a short time afterward, he returned to the Behrends Bank, which was short of help, in part due to conditions created by World War I. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Juneau Cold Storage Company as a bookkeeper. This position proved to be a turning point in his career. George soon recognized the commercial possibilities of cold storage in connection with the fishing industry. At the time, the original plant of the Juneau Cold Storage Company had a capacity of less than 200,000 pounds. With associates and new capital, the company began an expansion program that increased the plant’s capacity to 4 million pounds. By 1945, plans were underway to expand the capacity to nine million pounds. George became an important buyer of fish and other products for firms in San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, and other large population centers of the United States. He also represented the Coca-Cola Company as one of only two agents in southeastern Alaska and served as a distributor of Olympia and Budweiser beverages. He was one of the promoters of the Baranof Hotel in Juneau and served as its treasurer and secretary. George also served as a director of the First National Bank and held financial interests in several other enterprises and organizations. Fraternally, he was affiliated with the Elks and the Masons. He was also a member of the Washington Athletic Club and the Arctic Club in Seattle. George married Maybelle Burkland in 1913. They had two children, Wallis Searle George Jr., who died young, and Maybelle Louise George. In 1945, he married Mrs. Alleine Council, who had a daughter, Carol Ann Council.

Jetta Hamilton was born on June 4, 1886, at Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. In the spring of 1900, she came with her parents from Scotland to Montana. She married Felix Gray on November 29, 1905, at Miles City, Montana. “Many young men came around,” she said, “but he was the best.” Two sons, William Gordon and Hugh Douglas, were born to them in Montana, where the family operated a cattle ranch. In 1911, Mr. Gray traveled to Juneau, liked the community, and sent for his wife and children. They arrived on March 17 the following year. “The second greatest day of my life,” Mrs. Gray said, amending an earlier statement so that the greatest day remained November 29, 1905, the date of her marriage. Felix Gray worked for the Alaska Treadwell Mine until it closed and later became a bookkeeper for the Alaska-Juneau Mine. He served as City Clerk of Douglas from 1923 until 1936 in addition to his regular employment, and later served as a United States Commissioner from 1936 until his retirement in 1949. After her children finished school, Mrs. Gray became a buyer in the ladies’ department at B. M. Behrends Company in Juneau in June. She remained with the store from 1930 until 1939 and made frequent trips outside the territory in connection with her work. In 1939, she volunteered for the Red Cross. Reflecting on their years in Southeast Alaska, the Grays recalled watching the town grow and witnessing many notable developments, including the opening of the bridge and the completion of the Federal Building. They also remembered the fires that struck Douglas, which fortunately spared their home. Jetta Hamilton Gray died in Juneau, Alaska, on November 29, 1959. She was survived by her husband, her two sons, William Gordon Gray and Hugh Douglas Gray, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Holbrook and Mrs. Madge Woolsey of Montana.

Primary Name: Huehn, Hubert C. Filed as: Huehn, Hubert C. Also known as: Hubert Huehn Occupation / Association: Linotype operator; newspaper employee Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska; Morden, Manitoba, Canada; California Family: Husband of Theresa Zenger Huehn; son-in-law of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger; brother-in-law of Alfred Zenger Sr., Bertha Zenger Trudgeon, and Hilda Zenger Rowe Biography Hubert C. Huehn was a newspaper worker and linotype operator in early twentieth-century Juneau. Through his marriage to Theresa Zenger, he became connected with the Zenger family, one of the early immigrant households that helped establish roots in Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period. Huehn was born in 1890 in Morden, Manitoba, Canada, the son of John Esch Huehn and Amelia Lundy. Like many young men of his generation, he moved westward seeking opportunity during a period when the Pacific Coast and Alaska were experiencing rapid economic growth fueled by mining, maritime commerce, and expanding frontier communities. By the early 1910s, Hubert Huehn had come to Juneau, where he worked as a linotype operator for the Daily Dispatch, one of the newspapers serving the capital city during Alaska’s territorial era. Linotype operators were highly skilled workers who operated the complex typesetting machines that produced the metal type used in printing newspapers and other publications. Newspapers played an important role in Alaska communities during this period. They provided residents with news of mining developments, shipping schedules, political affairs, and community events while also serving as an essential link between remote settlements scattered across Southeast Alaska. As a linotype operator, Huehn contributed directly to the publication of the news and information that helped bind the region’s communities together. Around 1914, a romance developed between Hubert Huehn and Theresa Zenger, the daughter of Juneau pioneers Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger. Theresa had come to Juneau as a child when the Zenger family relocated to Alaska in 1898, during the Klondike gold rush. Hubert C. Huehn and Theresa Zenger were married in Douglas, Alaska, in 1914. Their marriage linked Huehn with the extended Zenger family, which included Theresa’s siblings Alfred Zenger Sr., Bertha Zenger Trudgeon, and Hilda Zenger Rowe. These family networks formed an important part of the social fabric of early Southeast Alaska communities. Following their marriage, Hubert and Theresa eventually relocated to California, joining many former Alaska residents who moved between Alaska and the West Coast as employment opportunities and family circumstances changed. Despite these moves, their connection to the Zenger family placed them within the broader network of pioneer households that helped shape the early development of Juneau and Douglas. Huehn’s work in the newspaper trade illustrates the role played by skilled tradesmen in Alaska’s territorial communities. While miners and merchants often received greater attention in historical accounts, workers in fields such as printing, transportation, and communications were equally essential to the functioning and growth of frontier towns like Juneau.

During the following decade, he made repeated trips to Alaska aboard sealing and trading schooners. He came to Cook Inlet and established a trading post at the Shutna River near Tyonic. In the spring of 1895, he went to Old Knik and established another trading post, where he remained for two years. While returning to San Francisco, Howe stopped at Juneau and was called to Seattle to join the expedition of Major Glenn across Portage Pass into the Cook Inlet country. His mission was to assist in searching for a potential railroad route to Cook Inlet. The expedition included thirty soldiers, and Howe spent three months traveling over the ground where Anchorage now stands and other areas around Cook Inlet. After the expedition, he returned to Juneau and brought Professor Georgeson to Kenai to survey government farm land. He later accompanied him to Kodiak for the same purpose, completing the work in 1898. He then traveled to Seattle and transported U.S. Commissioner Wiggins to Rampart during the 1899 season. Howe also took the first thawing machine to that country and mined on Hunter Creek. From there, he went to Nome in the spring of 1900, where he remained for two years. After leaving Nome, he returned to Juneau and continued working in various enterprises until 1915, when he moved to Anchorage, where he remained thereafter.

Harris was a nephew of Richard “Dick” Harris, who, with his partner Joe Juneau, was among the original settlers of the community that became the city of Juneau. Dick Harris named two of his sons after his nephew; the youngest survived into adulthood as William John Harris, Jr.. After living in Juneau for several years, Richard Harris traveled to Montana in 1882 to visit his brother and returned accompanied by his nephew, William. William Harris worked for several years at the Treadwell Mine. He also worked in several interior mining camps and in Nome. After leaving Alaska in the early years of the twentieth century, Harris served for several years as chief of police in Leadville, Colorado. The lure of Alaska eventually drew him north again, and he returned to Juneau about 1908, where he resumed work at the Treadwell Mine. In 1911 or 1912, Emery Valentine, mayor of Juneau, appointed Harris chief of police for the city. After serving two years in that role, he returned to employment at the Treadwell Mine. Later, he worked at the Alaska-Juneau Mine after it began operations. Harris spent the final months of his life at St. Ann’s Hospital in Juneau, where he died in February 1928.

Harkrader was born on May 29, 1847, in Warren County, Ohio. He came to Alaska in the early mining era and traveled through Sitka, Fort Wrangell, and the Cassiar mining district before arriving in Juneau in April 1881. In December 1880, Harkrader staked a lode claim on Mount Roberts, as well as a quartz claim in Silver Bow Basin and a hillside placer claim. These claims were located in the area later developed as the Alaska-Juneau Mine, also known as the Little Treadwell (DeArmond 1967; Alaska Monthly 1907). Harkrader was a mining partner of Henry Coons and Dan Campbell for six years, and together they recovered more than $75,000 from their placer operations. He was also among the original owners in the Nevada Creek district, held quartz mining property on Admiralty Island, and invested considerable money in developing a coal property on Chatham Strait near Killisnoo. The 1894 plat map of the Juneau townsite shows Harkrader owning Lots 5, 6, and 7 on the west slope of the Telephone Hill Historic Neighborhood. City tax rolls indicate that Harkrader and, later, his estate owned the property until 1920. The 1914 Sanborn map shows a residence, possibly Harkrader's home, located on the north half of Lots 5, 6, and 7 next to the West Second Street right-of-way (Hurley 1983). The structure was removed in the mid-1930s. The Ralph Martin House at 128 Dixon Street was later constructed on these lots. Prior to his death in 1915, Harkrader ran unsuccessfully for the Juneau City Council as a Socialist.

Hansen was born in Norway. After leaving school, he spent a number of years at sea and afterward settled in Australia. Soon, the gold excitement of California attracted his attention, and the early 1870s found him among the army of prospectors in the hills of that state. Success attended his labors, but the lure of the rich gold fields of Idaho and Montana again called him northward. Hansen resided a number of years in Idaho until the gold stampede in British Columbia and Alaska drew him once more into the ranks of the Argonauts who uncovered the hidden wealth of the Northland. Hansen later lived in Juneau, where he engaged in mining and prospecting. Preferring a few close friends to a large acquaintanceship, his many acts of charity were largely unknown to the public. During World War I, he was a regular subscriber to the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, though he quietly paid through the secretaries of these organizations rather than have his name appear on subscription lists. No prospector left his cabin hungry. Martin Hansen died at St. Ann’s Hospital in Juneau on October 30, 1920.

He participated in the 1896 gold rush, traveling over the Dyea Trail at the time of the wreck of the Colorado in Wrangell Narrows. Colorado Reef was later named for this wreck. Hansen was sent down from Juneau to unload ore from the Colorado. In 1905–1906, Hansen worked as a foreman under Mr. Harvey at the Hattie camps in the lower part of Duncan Canal. He later went to Wrangell, from which point he was dispatched to examine property in the Mill Creek area on the mainland. Following this assignment, he was sent to the States, where he worked on mining properties. During this time, he was involved in a blasting accident that caused him to lose his memory for a number of years. Hansen returned to Alaska in 1927 and lived there until his death. He made his home at Skog’s Creek across from Scow Bay near Petersburg. Hansen, an old-time Petersburg resident, died at the local hospital early Tuesday morning, March 12, at the age of seventy-five.

Her daughter, Mildred, was also a charter member. She was born in Germany in 1868 and moved to the United States around 1888. In Seattle, she worked for the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company. While living in Seattle, she met William H. Jahncke, and the two were married on August 31, 1889. The marriage ended in divorce on March 6, 1891. On June 15, 1892, Katherine married Charles E. Hooker, who at the time was working as a prescription clerk. By 1902, he had become a traveling salesman for Kreilsheimer Brothers, a whiskey distributor based in Seattle. Through this work, he became acquainted with Jules Caro, a Juneau resident who was then living in Seattle and working for the company. Charles and Katherine moved to Juneau in 1910. On June 18, 1913, they adopted a young girl named Mildred Drewitt, who had been born in Canada. Her mother was unable to care for her, and the child was about to be placed in an orphanage in Whitehorse. A few years later, Katherine and Charles separated, and Katherine and Mildred moved to Seattle. In the fall of 1915, she went to the courthouse to file for a divorce from Charles and discovered that her earlier divorce from William Jahncke had never been finalized. A judge finalized the first divorce, allowing her to proceed with the divorce from Charles. The July 18, 1916, edition of the Daily Alaska Dispatch reported that Katherine had just returned to Juneau from an extended trip. It is likely that she had traveled there to deliver divorce papers to Charles before returning to Seattle. She and Mildred eventually returned to Juneau, where Katherine operated a coffee shop. Katherine later moved to Everett, Washington, sometime after 1940. She died there on February 28, 1951.

Harris lived in Pennsylvania and Ohio, where he stayed with his uncle, Caldwell Anderson. He attended Duff’s Merchant’s College in Pittsburgh. In 1858, he went west, first to Missouri and Kansas Territory and then to the mining regions of the Rocky Mountains. From 1859 forward, Harris lived the life of a frontier miner, working placer and lode mines in Idaho, Colorado Territory, Virginia City, Silver Bow, and Butte before recording claims near Bannack City in Montana Territory. By 1877, Harris was in British Columbia. In the winter and spring of 1879, he began prospecting for George Pilz, a Sitka entrepreneur. Harris was guided in southeastern Alaska by Chief Kowee of the Auk Tlingit. In October 1880, Harris, with partner Joe Juneau, made one of the most significant discoveries in American prospecting. Guided by Kowee, the men crossed Gold Creek into Silver Bow Basin, where they discovered rich placer deposits and the lode system that later became the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mine. Harris named the new settlement Harrisburgh after the capital of Pennsylvania, though the town was later renamed Juneau. The Harris Mining District was named in his honor. Harris married Kitty Newcombe, a Tlingit woman from Hoonah, around 1880. They had several children, including William J. Harris and Richard Tighe Harris, Jr. In March 1881, just a few months after gold was discovered, Richard and Kitty purchased three lots in the Telephone Hill Historic Neighborhood. The Harris family residence stood near 219 Second Street. After losing a legal dispute over mining claims in Silver Bow Basin in 1884, Harris lost most of his mining interests and property. He later worked for Thomas L. Nowell, managing the Alaska Union Mining Company mill on Douglas Island, and later held positions with the District Court, U.S. Customs Service, and as a Special Deputy Marshal. Harris served on the first Grand Jury in Alaska in 1885 and remained active in mining ventures throughout his life. By 1904, Harris’s eyesight had begun to fail, and his health had declined. He was eventually sent to a Masonic nursing home in Portland, Oregon, where he died on October 11, 1907. Harris Street in Juneau bears his name, and the Richard Harris and Joseph Juneau Memorial commemorates the two men credited with the discovery of gold that led to the founding of Juneau.

Heney was one of the most important railroad builders associated with the early development of Alaska’s transportation system. In 1901, Heney undertook a reconnaissance survey for a railway from the southern Alaska coast to the interior. During this survey, he identified a difficult but workable route up the Copper River beginning near present-day Cordova. The proposed route required several major river crossings and ran through terrain affected by advancing glaciers, making construction appear extremely difficult. In 1905, while visiting the London office of the financial house Close Brothers, Heney learned that investors possessed reliable information about the richness of copper deposits in the Wrangell Mountains. The financiers agreed to support a railroad project if the route proved feasible. Heney immediately wired his New York office to engage Jack Dalton and Sam Murchison to reexamine the Copper River route. The route was controversial. Engineers promoting rival railway routes from Valdez and Katalla claimed the Copper River route was impossible. Meanwhile, Stephen Birch of the newly organized Alaska Syndicate had begun construction of a competing line from Katalla. In September 1905, Dalton, Murchison, and surveyor J. R. McPherson reevaluated the route and concluded that construction was feasible. After their report, Heney filed a right-of-way application with the General Land Office while meeting with the group in Juneau. The Copper River route was approved, and preparations began for the construction of what became the Copper River and Northwestern Railway. Although the original financiers withdrew, the Alaska Syndicate later acquired the project and completed the railway to the copper mines in 1911.

Juneau was born in May 1836 in Lower Canada (Quebec). As a young man he moved to the United States and worked as a miner and prospector throughout the American West. In 1879, he joined Richard “Dick” Harris in prospecting for gold in southeastern Alaska for Sitka merchant George Pilz. Their guide in the region was Chief Kowee, who led them into the mountains behind Gastineau Channel. In October 1880, Harris and Juneau discovered rich placer deposits in Silver Bow Basin. Within a short period, they staked claims on some of the richest ground in the basin, discoveries that eventually led to the development of the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mine. The settlement that developed near the discovery was first called Harrisburg, then Pilzburg, and later Rockwell. In 1881, the miners voted to rename the town Juneau in honor of Joe Juneau. Juneau later sold his interest in the mining claims and continued prospecting in other northern districts, eventually traveling to the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. He died in Dawson, Yukon Territory, in January 1899.

He was born in Warren, Pennsylvania, on June 21, 1880. As a young man, he traveled north with the University of Pennsylvania on a geology expedition along the Tetlin Trail in northwestern Canada. Kirberger had originally intended to pursue a career as a Shakespearean actor, but the experience of the northern country fascinated him so deeply that he decided to return to Alaska. He first went to Wrangell, where he met Fred Sepp, and the two became partners in mild-curing salmon and fishing. They later moved to Kake, where they established a cannery and the Keku Trading Company. After Sepp drowned, Kirberger continued operating the business. Kirberger became well known among the Tlingit people of the region. He was initiated into the tribe and was given the name “Dook Dooth,” meaning “a strong man.” When his store in Kake burned in 1924, he lost a large collection of Native artifacts and curios. He soon made plans for a new building, which opened in 1928. During his years in Kake, he also served as postmaster and encouraged young people in the community to pursue education and leadership roles.

In 1893, he married Martha Bolshanin, a Kiks.adi Tlingit woman of Sitka. Because the marriage was conducted in a civil ceremony without church approval, Kashevaroff was transferred from Sitka to Nutchek. The Kashevaroffs had several children, including Cyril, Maria, Nadeshda, Lydia, Natalya, and Xenia. Natalya married Alston Ritchie Lovejoy, author and illustrator, and Xenia later married the composer John Cage. Kashevaroff was ordained a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in 1904 and eventually attained the rank of Archpriest. Over more than sixty years, he served the church as teacher, choir director, inspector, deacon, and priest in Sitka, Nutchek, Kodiak, Killisnoo, Unalaska, and Juneau. In 1913, he was assigned as the priest of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Juneau. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 ended financial support from the Russian government, he supported himself through various occupations, including music teacher, weather bureau clerk, and customs officer. Kashevaroff also played a central role in the creation of Alaska’s early territorial museum and archives. Beginning in 1919, he served as curator of the Alaska Territorial Library and Museum, collecting thousands of artifacts and historical materials documenting Alaska’s Russian and Native heritage. His work laid the foundation for what later became the Alaska State Museum. He continued in this role until his death on April 3, 1940, at the age of 76. He is buried beside his wife in Evergreen Cemetery. In 2015, the State of Alaska honored Father Andrew Kashevaroff by naming the State Library, Archives, and Museum building in Juneau after him. The facility opened to the public on June 6, 2016.

Lund was born on July 4, 1859, in Norway and immigrated to the United States in 1884. He came to Juneau in May 1889 and established the first transfer company in the community, the Alaska Transfer Company. For many years, he was the only man who handled wood, freight, and ashes in the town. He was widely known for his generosity and friendliness. He never turned down a request for assistance when it was worthwhile, and hundreds of dollars were charged off his books each year as unpaid for work, coal, or wood provided to those in need. Because of his generosity, he became familiarly known as the “set-um-up-kid.” Lund was a friend to many in the community, including workers in the dance halls and other laborers in town. When misfortune overtook any of his friends, he helped care for them or arranged assistance and paid their bills when necessary. His word was considered as good as his note, and in fact better, as he disliked signing his name to papers. He owned one of the first Model T Ford automobiles in Juneau and used it in his transfer business for many years. Even after newer models appeared, Lund continued to operate his Model T, and both the vehicle and its driver became familiar landmarks in the community.

He was born at St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada, on December 27, 1843. Lawson moved west at an early age and came to Juneau in late 1881 or early 1882. A skilled carpenter and boat builder, Lawson constructed a number of Juneau’s early business buildings. Like many residents of the region during the early mining era, he also engaged in mining. Around 1904, he settled with others near Cape Fanshaw, and the small community there was known for a time as Lawson. After returning to Juneau, he served as Street Commissioner under one of Mayor Emery Valentine's administrations. In 1922, Lawson became blind and entered the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka. In 1930, he was transferred to Morningside Hospital near Portland, Oregon, where he died on January 29, 1932. Lawson Creek on Douglas Island, draining into Gastineau Channel opposite Juneau, was named for William Lawson, an early resident of Juneau and Douglas. In 1881, miners called the stream Lazard Creek, probably for N. B. Lazard, who located mining claims nearby. It was also known as Big Creek and Falls Creek. The name Lawson first appeared in mining records in 1894. Sources RootsWeb Juneau historical records; Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Men’s Igloo charter member records William Lawson Lawson William W.

Clement Fall Lefevre, prominent in the history of the State of Wisconsin, and the son of George Lefevre and Emma Beal Lefevre, daughter of the Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in the 1850s. As a child during the Franco-Prussian War, LeFevre spent five years in Europe with his mother, who had traveled there for her health. During that time, he learned to speak French and Spanish fluently. Because of this ability, many acquaintances in Alaska later believed he was French, although he was of English descent. After the death of his father in 1871, LeFevre moved from Wisconsin to Lone Rock in eastern Oregon, where he engaged in raising stock and served in several clerical capacities. While there, he began studying law, specializing in probate work. He was also among the early students of the University of Notre Dame. LeFevre practiced law for several years in Wisconsin and later in Kalama, Washington, and along the Columbia River district. In Heppner, Oregon, he entered the newspaper business and became editor of the Gazette, later taking over the Citizen in Puyallup, Washington. He was married in Puyallup on April 5, 1891, and had one daughter, Ruth Elizabeth LeFevre. LeFevre came to Alaska alone in 1895 and worked for the Treadwell Mine. He lived in Dyea and Skagway for about seventeen years, and in Skagway was associated with John W. Troy in publishing the Skagway Alaskan. His mother later joined him in Alaska and lived with him there until her death.

She was born on December 23, 1835, at Fort Howard in the Wisconsin Territory, the daughter of Colonel Samuel Wooten Beall and Elizabeth Fenimore Cooper Beall. Colonel Beall commanded the garrison at Fort Howard and later served as acting governor of the Wisconsin Territory. Through her mother’s family, Emma was connected to several notable early American figures. She was a grandniece of the author James Fenimore Cooper and a great-granddaughter of Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Although she grew up largely on the western frontier, she received the educational advantages of the East. On September 13, 1855, she married George LeFevre, a noted plainsman and scout who later became a judge in Colorado. The couple lived in Denver, Colorado, for a time when it was still a small trading post. In 1867, while the family was living in Colorado, Emma became ill, and her husband sent her with their only child, Henry Belfield LeFevre, to Berne, Switzerland, for treatment at the famous baths. Judge LeFevre died on July 30, 1871. Emma and her son later returned to the United States and settled in Oregon. Although essentially a woman of the frontier, Mrs. LeFevre was a writer of more than ordinary ability and a voracious reader. She maintained a keen interest in political affairs and remained well-informed about political and social developments throughout her life. In 1898, she traveled north to Skagway, Alaska, and the North thereafter became her home. She moved to Juneau in 1913, where she lived for the remainder of her life. Emma LeFevre died in Juneau, Alaska, on June 30, 1926. She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery.

MacKinnon was born in 1866 at Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. His parents, Archibald Neil MacKinnon and Mary MacLeod, lived on the family farm there. The family had emigrated from Scotland in 1820. As a teenager, Lockie left home and later said that he traveled on foot across Canada through the Cassiar District before reaching the Stikine River. From there, he traveled down the Stikine and eventually reached Juneau by boat. Early in his mining career, he entered into a partnership with George Miller, and the two mined the Porcupine district in the early 1890s. In 1893, MacKinnon joined Jack Horn, John Reed, and another companion, probably Miller, in crossing the Chilkoot Pass from Dyea. During this journey, they encountered General Frederick Funston, who was touring Alaska as a government representative for the Smithsonian Institution. At the foot of Lake Laberge, they built boats and traveled down the Yukon River, passing Five Fingers and continuing as far as Forty Mile. During the winter of 1895–1896, MacKinnon and Miller erected the Circle City Hotel in Juneau on Third Street between Seward and Franklin streets. The hotel contained eighty rooms, a bar, and a dining room, and was named for Circle City in the Yukon. In 1896, MacKinnon traveled to Seattle to secure maids for the hotel. Martha Maline Lokke, who had been born in Norway in 1870, and a Scandinavian friend were hired and came to Juneau. Martha later recalled that “two weeks later I foolishly married the man.” Miller reportedly turned to Martha’s friend just before the ceremony and suggested that they marry as well, resulting in what may have been one of the first double weddings in the Territory. MacKinnon was one of four discoverers of the Atlin gold fields in 1897. The party traveled from Juneau over the snow via the Taku River and Atlin Lake. News of their discovery reached the outside world in August of that year, triggering a rush to the Atlin district. During the winter of 1898, MacKinnon and Fritz Miller, the brother of George Miller, drove the first herd of cattle over the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson. Martha and Lockie’s first child, James Simpson MacKinnon, was born in 1897 and was named in honor of the physician Dr. James Kidd Simpson, who had earlier saved Lockie’s life after an explosion and cave-in at the Ebner Mine. In 1901, the couple welcomed twins, John Neil Donald and Thron Rudolph Lokke MacKinnon, who were born in the family home located on the land where the MacKinnon Apartments would later stand. Rudolph died during the diphtheria epidemic of 1911. John Neil Donald later changed his name to Donald Lokke MacKinnon. Following Rudolph’s death, Martha and Lockie returned to Juneau and managed the Zynda Hotel, later renamed the Juneau Hotel, on Main Street. In 1926, the MacKinnons constructed the apartment house at Third and Franklin streets, which was promoted as “Juneau’s first modern apartment house.” The building was enlarged during the 1960s and became known as the MacKinnon Apartments. The MacKinnons resided continuously in Juneau except for four years spent at Cleary Creek near Fairbanks and two years in Seattle. Both were active in the Juneau community. They were members of Northern Light Presbyterian Church, the Pioneers of Alaska, the Elks, and the Eastern Star. MacKinnon also served for many years as a trustee of the Pioneers’ Home in Sitka. The couple continued to reside at the MacKinnon Apartments until their deaths.

He eventually returned to Juneau in September 1901. The Douglas Island News of November 15, 1911, reported that McKenna would retire as wharfinger and general manager of the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Company wharf in Douglas. At that time, he was also listed among the undertakers in Douglas. He later moved to Juneau, where he entered the mercantile and real estate business.

Malony, Jr. was a charter member of the Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo, and one of the most influential early civic and business leaders in Juneau. Pioneer banker and businessman B. M. Behrends once remarked that Malony had “probably done more for Juneau than any other man.” Malony was born in 1857 in Shieldsville Township, Rice County, Minnesota, to Francis and Mary Donahue Malony, Irish immigrants who had earlier settled in New Brunswick, Canada. He was educated at Shattuck School in Faribault and at St. John’s College in St. Cloud, Minnesota. After reading law under Minnesota Attorney General Gordon E. Coles, he passed the bar and practiced law for nearly twenty years. In 1881, he moved to Glendive, Montana, during the rapid development of the mining frontier. His career advanced quickly: he was appointed Probate Judge in 1882, elected to the Montana legislature later that year, and served as a delegate to the Montana Constitutional Convention in 1884. Following an assassination attempt during a speech in Montana, Malony eventually left the territory and moved north to Alaska in the mid-1890s, bringing with him his son Joseph Mahony. In Juneau, he met Cora Cleveland, a milliner who had established a hat shop in the city in 1895. They married in Juneau, and on December 29, 1899, their son John F. Malony III was born. Malony worked closely with Alaska Pathfinder Jack Dalton. In 1893, he successfully defended Dalton in the controversial trial involving the death of Don (or Dennis) McGinnis. Malony and Dalton later partnered in several ventures, including the Dalton Trail Company and the Dalton Pony Express Company, which served miners traveling to the Yukon prior to the construction of the White Pass and Yukon Railway. Malony also participated in early mining investments throughout Southeast Alaska. He was involved in placer claims on Chicken Ridge in 1890 and later in mining ventures in the Porcupine district near Haines with partners including E. B. Hanley. The group also operated the Porcupine Trading Company. Beyond mining, Malony invested in fisheries and canneries near Wrangell and Petersburg and became a principal stockholder in the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Company. Malony was deeply involved in civic affairs. He served on Juneau’s first city council around 1900 and was elected mayor in 1907. He also helped lead the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, serving as its president while J. P. Corbus served as treasurer. Their leadership expanded electrical power generation in Juneau during the early twentieth century. Among Malony’s real estate projects were the Gold Belt residential development and the Malony Block commercial buildings in downtown Juneau. One house constructed in association with mining entrepreneur Bart Thane later became the well-known Wickersham House. Malony’s health declined around 1915, and he moved to California while continuing to manage his Alaska investments. He died in Palo Alto, California in early June 1919. He was survived by his wife, Cora Cleveland Malony, and three children. Sources Alaska Mining Hall of Fame. Gastineau Channel Historical Society, Winter 1986.

She was active in several civic and fraternal organizations, including the Order of the Eastern Star, the Rebekahs, and the Pioneers of Alaska.

In the early years of the trail, when pack trains could include as many as 250 horses, the route was not universally welcomed by all local residents and interests. McGinnis reportedly tried to stop Dalton’s operations by appealing to the Chilkat Indians to deny access. Matters came to a head on March 6, 1893, when Dalton went to McGinnis’s store. During a fight, apparently involving possession of Dalton’s pistol, McGinnis was shot. He died the following day while being taken to the hospital in Juneau, and Dalton was jailed. On June 18, 1893, a jury found the shooting accidental and acquitted Dalton. Deputy Marshal Marshall Sylvester reportedly commended the jury, but many Juneau citizens were dissatisfied with the verdict and denounced both Sylvester and the outcome of the trial. Dalton reportedly paid little attention to a written notice from the group demanding that he leave Alaska. Sources Alaska Mining Hall of Fame

Murchison, Sam Biography Sam Murchison was involved in early engineering and exploration work related to the development of Alaska’s copper mining region in the Wrangell Mountains during the early twentieth century. The discovery of rich copper deposits in the Wrangell Mountains in 1900 prompted renewed interest in transportation routes connecting the interior mining districts with the southern Alaska coast. These developments significantly affected the operations of trader and transportation entrepreneur Jack Dalton. In 1901, Michael J. Heney, a prominent railroad builder of the north, undertook a reconnaissance survey for a railway route from the south Alaska coast to the interior. Heney identified a rough but usable route along the Copper River beginning near present-day Cordova. Despite the possibility of such a route, Heney initially believed the known mineral deposits were not yet sufficient to justify constructing a railroad that would require multiple major river crossings and contend with advancing glaciers. By 1905, however, interest in the region’s copper deposits had grown considerably. While in London at the offices of the financial firm Close Brothers, Heney learned that financiers were prepared to fund a railroad if a feasible route could be confirmed. Remembering his earlier survey, Heney wired his New York office to engage Jack Dalton and Sam Murchison to reexamine the Copper River route. The proposal was controversial. Engineers advocating rival railroad routes beginning at Valdez and Katalla argued that the Copper River route was impossible. Meanwhile, Stephen Birch of the newly organized Alaska Syndicate had already begun construction of a competing line from Katalla. Sources Alaska Mining Hall of Fame

R. McPherson conducted a new evaluation of the proposed Copper River railroad route in Alaska and determined that the route was feasible. The party returned to Valdez in late October 1905 and transmitted their conclusions to railroad builder Michael Heney by coded telegram. Heney later met Dalton and Murchison in Juneau and filed a right-of-way application with the United States General Land Office. Because the Copper River route faced no competing applications, the right-of-way was approved. Heney and Murchison then traveled to Seattle to obtain equipment and supplies for the railroad project. Meanwhile, Dalton, McPherson, several chainmen, and a group of Dalton’s Chilkat Native packers from Haines began detailed surveying work along the route. The group secretly purchased an abandoned cannery in Cordova to serve as the southern terminus of the future railway. Construction of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway began during the winter of 1905–1906. Financial difficulties soon revealed that Close Brothers could not support the project. At the same time, the competing Katalla route, initially supported by Stephen Birch and the Alaska Syndicate, proved impractical. The Alaska Syndicate eventually purchased Heney’s interests and continued construction of the railway. The line was completed to the rich copper mines of the interior in 1911, becoming one of the most significant industrial transportation projects in Alaska’s early twentieth-century development.

Peterson was an early Juneau businessman, miner, and charter member of the Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Men’s Igloo. He was born near Hamburg, Germany, on October 7, 1861. Peterson was educated in German schools and trained as a tinsmith. In 1881, he immigrated to the United States, where he worked at his trade in New York, Chicago, and St. Louis. He later enlisted in the United States Army and served for five years, much of that time in Indian Territory. Peterson arrived in Juneau, Alaska, in April 1888 and purchased a small shop. For the next thirteen years, he operated a tin, stove, and hardware store while devoting his spare time to prospecting.  In 1893, Peterson returned to Hamburg and married Marie Jensen. The couple later returned to Juneau. In April 1899, Peterson staked a placer claim on the creek that later bore his name. He originally called it Cheechako Creek, naming one tributary Goose Creek and the surrounding valley Prairie Basin. Later mining records referred to the lake in the basin as Reservoir Lake, but by 1905, it had become known as Peterson Lake. Peterson eventually sold his hardware store to devote his full attention to mining. His principal lode claim was located about half a mile east of the lake and was first reached by trail from Tee Harbor. He later built a home at Pearl Harbor and constructed a wagon road from there to the mine, where he installed a three-stamp mill. He operated the mine until shortly before his death on August 20, 1916. Afterward, the mine continued to operate for several years under the management of his wife, Marie Peterson, and their daughters, Irma Peterson and Margaret Peterson. The present Peterson Lake Trail follows the route of Peterson’s old wagon road, leaving Glacier Highway at Mile 24. Peterson Lake lies on the mainland approximately sixteen miles northwest of Juneau and about one mile from tidewater at Tee Harbor. Sources RootsWeb Juneau historical records

Pilz was born in Saxony and educated at the renowned Mining Academy at Freiberg. After working on coal exploration in Germany, he left the country in 1867 to avoid conscription during the Franco-Prussian War. Initially, Pilz investigated mining prospects in Canada and the United States for a German-owned company. He later left that position to work for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company at Hancock in Michigan’s copper range. In 1869, he departed Michigan to erect a copper smelter in California. During the following decade, Pilz worked throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada prospecting, developing mines, and erecting mills and smelters. His reputation for blunt and often cantankerous competence assured him steady employment, though it also kept him moving frequently from project to project. In 1878, Pilz met Nicholas Haley in San Francisco. Haley, who had previously been stationed with the United States Army in Sitka, possessed rich gold-quartz specimens taken from the Stewart and other lodes near Silver Bay south of Sitka. Pilz initially suspected the samples originated from California’s Grass Valley district, but discussions with army officers and soldiers convinced him that the specimens truly came from Alaska. Pilz secured financial backing and, in February 1879, traveled to Alaska to construct a mine and mill at Silver Bay. Gold processed by his five-stamp mill became the first lode gold produced in Alaska. The mine closed early in 1880 when the deposit proved too low-grade to sustain operations, though later events would vindicate Pilz’s belief that the region held significant mineral potential. Seeking additional discoveries throughout Southeast Alaska, Pilz enlisted the assistance of several Tlingit communities, who supplied mineral samples from different areas. Pilz then dispatched experienced prospectors to investigate these reports, including Alaska Mining Hall of Fame inductees Joe Juneau and Richard T. Harris. One of Pilz’s prospecting parties helped open Chilkoot Pass, which later became the principal gateway to the Klondike gold fields. The route was opened after Navy Captain Lester Beardslee negotiated with the Chilkat Tlingit to allow freighting through the pass. Among the most promising samples received by Pilz were brought by Alaska Mining Hall of Fame inductee Auk Chief Kowee, who lived on Admiralty Island near the site of the modern city of Juneau. These specimens likely originated from the Gastineau Channel area. Acting on Pilz’s direction, Harris and Juneau made their discovery in early October 1880 in Silver Bow Basin above present-day Juneau. Their earlier trip had taken them to Gold Creek, where they found promising placer gold and quartz fragments containing gold. A grubstake agreement arranged by Pilz allowed Harris and Juneau to stake placer claims for themselves while granting Pilz a majority interest in the lode claims on a three-to-one basis. After confirming the discovery in Silver Bow Basin, Harris and Juneau returned to Sitka, where Pilz joined them. Satisfied that the claims had been properly staked, Pilz approved the work and helped promote the new mining district. News of the discovery sparked a rush to the area in December 1880. Controversy later arose involving N. A. Fuller, a Sitka merchant who had been connected with Pilz’s operations. Pilz maintained that Fuller acted only on his behalf, but the matter eventually resulted in a lawsuit in Sitka in 1886 in which Fuller obtained judgment against Richard T. Harris. At the time, Pilz might have aided Harris, but was imprisoned in San Francisco, awaiting trial on a fraud charge he always denied. Despite later disputes between the two men, contemporary correspondence shows Pilz regarded Harris as one of his closest associates during the early Juneau mining period. Miners from Juneau even sent gold dust to San Francisco to help Pilz post bail. The episode reflected the complicated and often contentious nature of Pilz’s career. Pilz also likely erected the first prefabricated building in Alaska, constructing a pre-built house in Sitka. On February 7, 1881, he chaired a miners’ meeting that adopted revised mining district rules for the Harris district. He was also involved in organizing and platting the early town that became Juneau, then known as Rockwell or Harrisburg. In later years, Pilz continued working in mining ventures across North America. He was reported in Dawson in 1906, at Katalla in 1907, working on coal projects, and in Chitina in 1911. He later spent many years in the Forty-Mile region. George Pilz died in Eagle, Alaska, on September 15, 1926, remembered as a brilliant but often combative pioneer mining engineer who played a key role in the discovery and early development of the Juneau gold district.

He served as the tenth Governor of the Territory of Alaska from 1913 to 1918. Strong was born in Salmon Creek, New Brunswick, Canada, on October 15, 1856. He graduated from the New Brunswick Normal School in 1874 and spent the next fourteen years working as a teacher and store owner throughout the province. On December 31, 1879, he married Elizabeth A. Aitken of Fredericton, New Brunswick, and the couple had three children. Strong later married Anna Hall of Seattle in 1896. A newspaperman by profession, Strong worked with newspapers in Spokane, Bellingham, Seattle, and Tacoma. In 1897, he and his wife traveled north to Skagway during the Klondike gold rush. While planning to continue to the Klondike, the booming town of Skagway provided an opportunity for journalism. Strong soon became editor of a local newspaper and wrote strongly against the criminal activities of “Soapy” Smith and his gang, supporting the efforts of law-abiding citizens to restore order in the town. In 1899, Strong headed to the Klondike and briefly tried prospecting before returning to newspaper work with the Dawson News. Later that year, he went to Nome, Alaska, where he established the Nome Nugget in 1900 and operated it successfully for many years. Strong later founded newspapers in Iditarod and Katalla, and even operated a paper in a mining camp in Arizona before returning north once again. In November 1912, he founded the Alaska Daily Empire in Juneau. President Woodrow Wilson nominated Strong as Governor of the Alaska Territory on April 17, 1913. He was sworn into office on May 21, 1913. His administration faced immediate financial difficulties when salmon canneries refused to pay a territorial tax on canned salmon, a major source of revenue for the young territorial government. During Strong’s tenure, several important developments occurred in Alaska. Legislation and policies during this period included the implementation of workers’ compensation laws, the establishment of the territory’s first old-age pension system, the creation of a territorial Board of Education, and the authorization of a territorial university. Major events affecting Alaska at the time included the construction of the Alaska Railroad, beginning in 1914, and the creation of Mount McKinley National Park in 1917. Territorial voters also approved a prohibition referendum in 1917. President Wilson declined to reappoint Strong to a second term, and his final day in office came in April 1918. According to later accounts, the decision may have been influenced by information suggesting that Strong, who had been born in Canada, had never formally completed the United States naturalization process. John F. A. Strong died in Seattle, Washington on July 27, 1929.

Lundstrom Sweeney was a prominent Juneau civic leader, legislator, and a three-time President of the Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Women's Igloo, serving in 1939, 1940, and 1953. She was born on June 19, 1907, in Biwabik, Minnesota, to Alfred E. Lundstrom and Mae S. “Maki” Lundstrom.

The discovery quickly attracted attention and the Porcupine Mining District was formally organized on October 22, 1898. On November 5, 1898, Dalton and the three prospectors located the Discovery Claim. Additional claims were soon located by Dalton and his business partners E. B. Hanley and John Malony. The district experienced a mining rush in 1899 as prospectors arrived and began working nearby creeks and surrounding areas. Prospectors soon discovered gold in nearby creeks and both gold and copper deposits in areas as much as sixty miles distant, including the Rainy Hollow district in Canada. First-year production from the Porcupine district was reported to be worth approximately $50,000, with about $40,000 coming from Dalton’s Discovery Claim. The gold deposits in the district were rich but fairly deep, requiring significant infrastructure to mine profitably. Miners constructed miles of ditches and flumes to deliver water to hydraulic mining systems. Hydraulic lifts, sometimes called gravel elevators, were used to raise gold-bearing gravel for processing. Commercial support for the mining district came from the Porcupine Trading Company, organized by Dalton, Hanley, and Malony on August 1, 1899. The company imported mining equipment and provided supplies and credit to miners working in the district. In 1900 Dalton and his partners shipped approximately 300 tons of mining equipment and supplies into the area. Mining operations continued profitably until around 1905, when a major flood destroyed much of the mining infrastructure. Recognizing that much of the easily recovered gold had been extracted, Dalton, Hanley, and Malony sold their interests in the district in 1907. Sources Alaska Mining Hall of Fame.

Sanders, Douglas Alaska mining engineer, Douglas cemetery land dispute, Lawson Creek Douglas Alaska, Douglas Alaska mining claims, Minnie Ross Holman, W.A. Thompson Biography W.A. Sanders was a mining engineer involved in mining development and land claims in Douglas, Alaska, at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1899, Sanders, along with W.A. Thompson and Minnie Ross Holman, applied for a federal patent to mining claims covering more than fifty acres at the northwest end of the town of Douglas. The claims included thirteen lode claims, mill sites, and portions of the developed townsite, including streets and buildings. Residents of Douglas organized a committee to protest the patent. Sanders agreed that if the committee did not oppose the patent application, he would deed back the town lots, street easements, and other areas in which the patent interfered with the existing townsite. This agreement was later put in writing. The committee also asked Sanders to provide land for a cemetery. Sanders verbally agreed to give the people of Douglas “the dry knoll this side of Lawson Creek” if they would not object to his patent. He also promised to construct a road to the grounds but declined to place that promise in writing, stating that his word was sufficient.

Boyd took possession of the knoll and marked a route from Third Street in Douglas to the site. Laborers cleared a trail that later became a gravel road. Planking and small bridges were constructed, and several acres were cleared and enclosed with wire fencing. The location corresponds to what later became the Douglas City Cemetery. Although Sanders was known as a mining engineer, some Douglas residents argued that his claims were invalid because he was a resident of Nova Scotia, Canada. The United States Patent Office ultimately granted Sanders a patent to part of the mining claims in 1900. While Sanders honored the written agreement to return town lots and buildings, he refused to fulfill the verbal agreement regarding the cemetery land and later denied making the promise. Residents of Douglas maintained that they had earned the right to the cemetery ground because they had not interfered with his patent application. They even offered to purchase the land at the government rate of five dollars per acre, but Sanders declined. As late as 1903, Sanders reportedly posted no-trespassing notices threatening prosecution of anyone using the land for burial purposes. The notices soon disappeared, and Douglas residents claimed they had been in “legal and peaceable possession of the premises” for several years.

V. Sully was associated with the undertaking and furniture trade in Douglas, Alaska, during the territorial period and was a charter member of the Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo. In the early communities of Southeast Alaska, there were no morticians as the profession is known today.

Advertisements in the Douglas Island News described such businesses as “Undertaking … Manufacturers of Furniture, Carpentering, Jobbing, Store and Office Fixtures.” Other advertisements referred to the “Douglas Undertaking Parlors, Funeral Directors and Embalmers.” Among those associated with undertaking services in Douglas were H. V. Sully, Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Igloo charter member John A. McKanna, T. P. Sheldon, L. G. Thomas, and Merle Thomas. These early undertakers provided essential services for the growing mining community and its surrounding settlements during the development of Douglas and the Juneau area.

Sheldon, T. P. Occupation: Undertaker; cabinet and furniture maker Associated Places: Douglas, Alaska Biography T. P. Sheldon was an early undertaker in Douglas, Alaska, during the territorial period. In the early years of the mining communities of Douglas and Juneau, morticians did not exist in the modern sense. Instead, local cabinetmakers and furniture builders frequently assumed responsibility for preparing the deceased and providing burial services for the community. These craftsmen produced both furniture and caskets, and their workshops often served as the town’s undertaking establishments. Advertisements in the Douglas Island News described such businesses as offering “Undertaking … Manufacturers of Furniture, Carpentering, Jobbing, Store & Office Fixtures.” Other notices referred to businesses such as the Douglas Undertaking Parlors, Funeral Directors, and Embalmers. Among those known to have served as undertakers in the Douglas community were H. V. Sully, John A. McKanna, T. P. Sheldon, L. G. Thomas, and Merle Thomas. These early undertakers played an essential role in frontier communities, providing burial services when professional funeral homes had not yet been established in Southeast Alaska.

Primary Name: Trudgeon, Joseph Filed as: Trudgeon, Joseph Also known as: Joseph Trudgeon Occupation / Association: Merchant; dairy farmer; Douglas businessman Associated places: Douglas, Alaska; Juneau, Alaska; Durham, England Family: Husband of Bertha Zenger Trudgeon; son-in-law of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger; brother-in-law of Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa Zenger, and Hilda Zenger Rowe Biography Joseph Trudgeon was a merchant and dairy farmer in Douglas, Alaska, during the early years of the twentieth century and became part of one of the region’s early pioneer families through his marriage to Bertha Zenger, the eldest daughter of Juneau pioneers Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger. Trudgeon was born in 1879 in Durham, England, the son of Joseph Trudgeon and Josepiah Ruth Haydon. Like many immigrants of his generation, he traveled to North America in search of economic opportunity during a period when mining booms and the development of frontier communities drew workers, merchants, and entrepreneurs to the Pacific Coast and Alaska. By the early twentieth century, Joseph Trudgeon had established himself in Douglas, Alaska, a community located across Gastineau Channel from Juneau and closely tied to the large mining operations of the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company. Douglas served as both a residential community for mine workers and a center for small businesses that supported the mining economy. Trudgeon became involved in mercantile trade and also operated a dairy farm in the Douglas area. Dairy farms were an important part of the local economy in Southeast Alaska, supplying fresh milk, butter, and other dairy products to residents of Juneau and Douglas at a time when transportation limitations made it difficult to import fresh food from outside the region. Through family connections, Joseph met Bertha Zenger, whose family had moved to Juneau in 1898 during the Klondike gold rush era. The Zengers operated a cigar manufacturing business in downtown Juneau and were part of the growing immigrant business community that served the region's mining population. Joseph Trudgeon and Bertha Zenger were married in Douglas in 1906. Their marriage reflected the close social and economic ties between the neighboring communities of Juneau and Douglas, connected by regular boat traffic across the Gastineau Channel and sharing many family and business relationships. As a merchant and dairy operator, Trudgeon contributed to the everyday economic life of Douglas and Juneau during Alaska’s territorial period. Businesses such as his helped provide essential goods and services to mining families and workers whose livelihoods depended on the success of the region’s gold mines. Through his marriage into the Zenger family, Joseph Trudgeon became part of a network of early Southeast Alaska settlers whose descendants remained connected to the region for generations. His life reflects the experience of many immigrant businessmen who helped establish stable communities in Southeast Alaska during the early twentieth century.

Teal, George Born: May 26, 1866, The Dalles, Oregon Died: February 3, 1940, Seattle, Washington Parents: Colonel Joseph Teal and Mary Elizabeth Coleman Teal Spouse: Alma Delaney (married June 2, 1913, Seattle, Washington) Occupation: Accountant, transportation manager, salmon industry executive Association: Charter Member, Pioneers of Alaska Juneau Men's Igloo Biography George Teal was born May 26, 1866, in The Dalles, Oregon, the son of Colonel Joseph Teal and Mary Elizabeth Coleman Teal. While still an infant, he moved with his family to Portland, Oregon, where he was raised and educated in the city’s public schools. He later attended Pacific University in Forest Grove. Teal began his business career while still in his teens, working in a Portland hardware store. He later became a freight clerk and purser on vessels operating along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. He subsequently worked as a representative for the Portland Merchants’ Credit Association in Eastern Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, residing for a time in Moscow, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington. In 1898, during the Klondike Gold Rush, Teal traveled to Dyea, Alaska, where he managed operations for the Dyea-Klondike Company, a Portland firm. The company operated an aerial tramway that transported freight from Dyea to riverboats headed into the Yukon interior, providing a mechanized alternative to the arduous pack-train methods then used on the trail. When the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad was completed from Skagway, the tramway operation was abandoned. Teal then relocated to Juneau, Alaska, where he worked as a bookkeeper and accountant in town and in various nearby mining camps and settlements. During his time in Juneau, he became a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. Teal returned to the United States in 1905 and the following year settled in Seattle, Washington. There, he became confidential assistant to J. D. Farrell of the Oregon-Washington Railroad. In this position, he assisted with the acquisition of railroad right-of-way between Seattle and Portland. In 1912, Teal returned to Alaska as manager of the salmon cannery operated by the Admiralty Trading Company at Gambier Bay. He later became a stockholder in the enterprise, marking the beginning of his long association with the Pacific Northwest salmon industry. After the Admiralty Trading Company sold its interests in 1914, Teal became active in the brokerage side of the salmon industry. He played an influential role in organizing the Pacific Canned Salmon Brokers Association, later known as the Canned Salmon Distributors Association. He served as the association's secretary beginning in 1920 and remained its principal administrative officer until his retirement in 1935. Teal also served for several years as secretary of the Northwest Salmon Canners Association. At the time of his death, it was noted that he had taken an active and constructive role in the affairs of the salmon industry for nearly thirty years. Although his professional responsibilities frequently took him to Alaska, Teal maintained his home in Seattle from 1906 onward. He was also a member of the Masonic Order. On June 2, 1913, he married Alma Delaney, daughter of Arthur K. Delaney and Anna Wallwork Delaney, in Seattle. George Teal died in Seattle on February 3, 1940, following a long illness.

Primary Name: Tanner, Josias Martin Filed as: Tanner, Josias Martin Also known as: Josias Tanner; “Senator Si” Tanner Occupation / Association: Charter Member, Juneau Men's Igloo; Alaska Territorial Senator; Mayor of Skagway; Deputy United States Marshal; merchant; miner Associated places: Oakland County, Michigan; Central City, Colorado; Juneau, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; Tacoma, Washington Keywords: Josias Martin Tanner, Senator Si Tanner, Juneau Men's Igloo charter members, Skagway Alaska mayor, Soapy Smith era Skagway, Alaska Territorial Legislature, Skagway Vigilantes, Arctic Brotherhood members, Alaska-Yukon pioneers Biography Josias Martin Tanner was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska and one of the prominent early civic leaders of Skagway during Alaska’s gold rush era. Tanner was born in Oakland County, Michigan, on February 22, 1850. His grandfather served in the Revolutionary War, having enlisted at the age of fifteen. A brother of Tanner’s grandfather, William Tanner, was reportedly a member of President George Washington's bodyguard when the British and Loyalists attempted to capture the first President. Known throughout Alaska as “Senator Si,” Tanner served two terms in Alaska’s territorial lawmaking assembly. As a young man, Tanner began his career in mining. At the age of twenty, he left Michigan and went to Central City, Colorado, one of the famous mining camps of Gilpin County. There he worked in the gold mines and mills of Colorado for four years. In 1871, he married Juliette Valentine, the sister of Emery Valentine, who later served as mayor of Juneau. Three children were born to the couple: two daughters, who later lived in Tacoma, Washington, and a son, Fred Tanner, who eventually joined his father in business in Skagway. The family later moved to Tacoma, where Tanner worked in the contracting business. In 1896, he accepted a position in Emery Valentine’s general store in Juneau. During the Klondike Gold Rush, he moved to Skagway in July 1897 during the Dawson stampede and remained there for the rest of his life. In Skagway, he played an important role in maintaining order during the turbulent gold rush years. Tanner helped organize and command the Skagway Vigilantes, a citizens’ group formed to preserve law and order during the period when the notorious outlaw Soapy Smith and his gang dominated the town. Organized lawlessness in Skagway culminated in Smith’s death on July 8, 1898. Because of his leadership and composure during the effort to drive Smith’s gang from the city, Tanner was appointed Deputy United States Marshal by Marshal J. M. Shoup and served in that position for two years. Tanner remained active in Skagway's civic affairs for many years. He served for five years on the Skagway City Council, was elected mayor three times, and also served for five years as municipal magistrate. He was also active in fraternal organizations, including the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Arctic Brotherhood. In addition to his political and civic career, Tanner operated a hardware store in Skagway and held business interests in the Home Power Company of Skagway. Sources Ferrell, Ed.

Primary Name: Treadwell, John Filed as: Treadwell, John Also known as: John Treadwell Occupation / Association: Mining entrepreneur; founder of the Treadwell Mine operations on Douglas Island Associated places: Douglas Island, Alaska; Gastineau Channel, Alaska; Juneau, Alaska; San Francisco, California; St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada Keywords: John Treadwell, Treadwell Mine, Alaska Mill and Mining Company, Alaska Gold Mining Company, Douglas Island mining, Gastineau Channel gold mining, Alaska territorial mining history, Treadwell mining complex, Alaska mining pioneers Biography John Treadwell, a California carpenter with a background in mining, prospected, explored, developed, and operated Alaska’s first successful large-scale, low-grade gold mine. His work played a major role in stimulating the economy of the Territory of Alaska and advancing large-scale industrial mining in the United States during the late nineteenth century. Treadwell was born in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. In 1881, he was building a house in California for a prominent banker when news arrived of a promising gold prospect across the Gastineau Channel from Juneau, Alaska, on Douglas Island. The banker, John Fry, suggested that Treadwell travel north to examine the property. Initially unimpressed with the deposit, Treadwell planned to return to San Francisco. While waiting for a ship, however, he met a French-Canadian prospector who described the claim but was financially unable to develop it. Treadwell purchased the claim sight unseen for $400. Assay results later proved encouraging, prompting him to organize a mining venture with Fry and an associate. In May 1882, he returned to Alaska with a five-stamp mill and formed the Alaska Mill and Mining Company. Early operations demonstrated that the deposit could be profitable if worked on a much larger scale. The experimental mill was replaced with a 120-stamp mill in 1883, and in 1887, another 120 stamps were added. These developments marked the beginning of the Treadwell mining complex, which eventually grew into a system of four mines and five mills. Together, they produced nearly $70 million in gold. At peak capacity in 1914, the combined mills operated 960 stamps, crushing approximately 5,000 tons of rock per day—then a world record—with an average value of about $2.50 per ton. Approximately 2,000 men worked eight-hour shifts seven days a week, 363 days per year, with only Christmas and the Fourth of July as holidays. By 1920, miners’ wages averaged about $100 per month, among the highest in the world at the time. The mining camp that grew around the operation developed into a substantial community known as Treadwell. During its forty-year evolution, it expanded from a single claim into a thriving town with stores, bunkhouses, mess halls, recreational facilities, and even a marching band and natatorium. Treadwell himself sold his interests in 1889 to the Alaska Gold Mining Company for a reported $1.5 million. His success attracted additional investment and settlement to Alaska and brought national attention to the region’s mineral resources. The industrial methods used in the Treadwell operations helped shape modern hard-rock mining practices. Mining operations ended in 1917 when caving and flooding destroyed large sections of the Treadwell mines. Afterward, Treadwell briefly pursued coal development projects in western Alaska, though these ventures proved unsuccessful. Later, he became involved in banking, but the bank eventually failed, and he filed for bankruptcy. Sources Telephone Hill Historic NeighborhoodAlaska Mining Hall of Fame

Primary Name: Thane, Bartlett L. Filed as: Thane, Bartlett L. Also known as: Bartlett Lee Thane; Bart Thane Occupation / Association: Mining engineer; mine developer; Alaska Gastineau Mining Company executive Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Sumdum, Alaska; Sheep Creek, Alaska; Salmon Creek, Alaska; Annex Creek, Alaska; New York City, New York; Berkeley, California Keywords: Bartlett L Thane, Bart Thane, Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, Perseverance Mine, Salmon Creek Dam, Sheep Creek Adit, Juneau Gold Belt, University of California Berkeley engineers, early Alaska mining engineers Biography Bartlett “Bart” Thane was a mining engineer whose work in the Juneau Gold Belt helped create one of the largest and most technologically advanced gold mining complexes in the world during the early twentieth century. Thane was born in 1879 and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1898. While attending Berkeley he was the star quarterback of the university’s football team. Many of his teammates studied mining engineering and would later assist Thane in his ambitious mining ventures in Alaska. At just under twenty years of age, Thane came to Juneau to begin his mining career. He was hired by veteran mining man Herman Tripp to operate and maintain the shaft pumps at the Sumdum Chief Mine, located approximately sixty miles south of Juneau. Although initially skeptical of college-trained engineers, Tripp quickly developed respect for the young engineer, beginning a lifelong friendship. Within three years Thane had gained a controlling interest in the Sumdum Chief Mine. By 1911 Thane had successfully raised investment capital and obtained operational control of six gold mines in the Juneau Gold Belt. A mountain in the region was later named for him. Through a complicated series of events Thane gained control of the Perseverance Mine near Juneau. The company’s president, Colonel William Sutherland, had been accused by stock and bondholders of mismanagement and was facing legal action. Sutherland died suddenly of a heart attack, and competing claims by two wives further complicated the estate. The company appeared hopelessly tied up in litigation. With financial backing from prominent mining financiers D. C. Jackling and W. P. Hammon, Thane raised eight million dollars in 1912 to take over and redevelop the Perseverance Mine. His project would eventually become the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, which developed into the largest gold mining operation in the world at the time. Thane’s plan for the mine had three major components: providing tidewater access through a two-mile tunnel, developing year-round hydroelectric power, and constructing a revolutionary mill capable of processing thousands of tons of ore each day. The Sheep Creek Adit, begun in November 1912 and completed in February 1914, was 10,497 feet long and at the time was driven at the fastest rate of any tunnel excavation in the world. The tunnel provided access from the Perseverance Mine to tidewater through the Sheep Creek Valley. With assistance from former Berkeley teammates, Thane also oversaw construction of the Salmon Creek Dam. Completed as the first thin-arch concrete dam ever built, the structure stood 172 feet high and 648 feet across at the crest. The design proved revolutionary, and more than one hundred similar dams were later constructed around the world using the same principles first demonstrated at Salmon Creek. The massive mill constructed for the Alaska Gastineau operation was designed to process up to 6,000 tons of ore per day using new rotating mills developed in the large copper mines of Nevada and Arizona. Completed in 1915, the mill exceeded expectations and was soon processing approximately 10,000 tons of ore per day at costs lower than projected. To meet the growing demand for power, Thane developed another hydroelectric project at Annex Creek on Taku Inlet. The site was optioned from Herman Tripp in April 1915, and power was being produced by December of that same year. The project marked the first time a lake had been tapped by tunneling beneath it and blasting through the lakebed to release water for hydroelectric generation. When the blast opened the lake, water reached the turbines two miles away in just forty-two minutes. The Annex Creek and Salmon Creek hydroelectric plants continue to generate power today and remain among the lowest-cost sources of electricity in Alaska. For a brief period before World War I, the Alaska Gastineau Perseverance operation was the largest gold mining complex in the world and produced more than 500,000 ounces of gold. The loss of labor during World War I and rising costs following the war made the operation unprofitable. On June 3, 1921, the mine closed. Thane later attempted to repurpose the facilities for a large pulp mill development. In 1923 an agreement was reportedly reached with Japanese investors, but the catastrophic Yokohama earthquake that year killed the investors and the proposed pulp project collapsed. Although his work had transformed the mining industry and left lasting engineering achievements, Thane died in New York City in 1927 reportedly embittered by the collapse of his final venture. Upon hearing of his death, Fred Bradley, the legendary engineer behind the Treadwell and Alaska Juneau mines, remarked, “He built great monuments to man, but forgot what he was here for.” Sources Juneau mining historical records

Tibbets, Captain Charles Occupation: Mariner, ferry operator, later merchant Associated Places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska; Telephone Hill Biography Captain Charles Tibbets was an early mariner and transportation operator in the Juneau–Douglas area during the territorial period. He was associated with the ownership and operation of the first ferry service connecting the communities of Juneau and Douglas. Tibbets and his wife owned the site of what later became known as the Judge George Alexander House on the southeast face of Telephone Hill from 1889 until the property was sold by his estate in 1931. As a mariner, Captain Tibbets was involved with the ownership and operation of the first Juneau–Douglas ferry boat company (Davis, 1893). For a number of years, he served as skipper of vessels for the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Company, which later assumed the ferry operations between Juneau and Douglas. These early ferry routes were an essential transportation link between the mining town of Douglas and the growing community of Juneau. Later in his career, Tibbets commanded vessels for the United States Bureau of Fisheries, reflecting the continued importance of maritime work in the region’s economy. Toward the end of his life, he operated a candy store located at Main and Third Streets in Juneau, a business mentioned in the Daily Alaska Empire in 1931.

Sanders, Minnie Ross Holman, Douglas mining history, Juneau Douglas mining claims, Alaska territorial mining disputes Biography W. A. Thompson was associated with mining property development in Douglas, Alaska, during the territorial period. In 1899, Thompson, mining engineer W. A. Sanders, and Minnie Ross Holman applied for a federal patent to mining claims located at the northwest end of the town of Douglas. The proposed patent encompassed more than fifty acres of land and included existing streets and buildings within the community. The application covered thirteen lode claims and several mill sites. Because the claims overlapped portions of the established townsite, the proposal generated local concern, and a committee was organized to protest the issuance of the patent. The dispute illustrates the tension that sometimes arose between mining claim holders and developing communities in Alaska’s early mining districts, where valuable mineral claims and growing townsites frequently overlapped.

Emery Valentine was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska and one of the most influential civic leaders in the early history of Juneau. Valentine was born in Dowagiac, Michigan, in 1858. On his mother’s side, his ancestry traces back to William Bradford, who arrived in America aboard the Mayflower in 1620. At the age of ten, he crossed the plains from Michigan to Colorado, riding a small pony with an old overcoat for a saddle and a rope for stirrups. As a youth, he worked as a miner, but after losing a leg in a mining accident, he turned to another trade and apprenticed as a goldsmith and jeweler. Between 1876 and 1886, he owned and operated several jewelry stores in Colorado and Montana. In 1886, Valentine moved to Juneau, Alaska, where he opened the E. Valentine Jewelry Store. From the beginning of his residence in Juneau, he became deeply involved in the community’s business, civic, and political life. Valentine organized the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department and served as its first chief. He donated a specialized fire wagon that carried the slogan, “You ring the bell, and we’ll do the rest.” He is also credited as being the father of the Juneau Public Library, reflecting his long-standing commitment to civic institutions and public life. Following the incorporation of Juneau in 1900, Valentine served the city in several public offices. He was elected to the Juneau City Council in 1902 and later served six terms as mayor, from 1908 to 1918. In territorial and national politics, Valentine was aligned with the Republican Party but supported the Bull Moose (Progressive) movement. He became one of the leaders of the insurgent political movement in Alaska and presided over the territorial convention that sent delegates to the Chicago convention, where Theodore Roosevelt was nominated. Valentine married Josephine Scanlin on December 16, 1909, in Juneau. The marriage later ended in divorce in 1915. Emery Valentine died in Juneau on September 10, 1930.

Born in 1850 in New York State, he came north during the early mining era of Alaska and British Columbia. Northrup first traveled to Wrangell in 1877 and from there went into the Cassiar mining district. In the fall of 1879, he moved to Sitka, where he spent the winter at Sitka Hot Springs along with seventeen other Cassiar miners. In the U.S. Navy census of April 1880, Northrup was listed as an American citizen, age thirty. During the summer of that year, he was prospecting throughout Southeastern Alaska and may have been the man sent by George Pilz to explore the Taku River region. By 1881, Northrup was in Juneau, though he did not stake claims in the immediate area. Instead, he used Juneau as a base while prospecting throughout the region, including Windham Bay, Berners Bay, and the Glacier Bay country. Beginning in 1887, he was among the first miners to work the beach placers along the Gulf of Alaska coast between Lituya Bay and Yakutat. In 1892, Northrup traveled to the Yukon, and by 1895, he was briefly back in Juneau while en route to the Interior again. He was reported to have been among the earliest miners to reach Dawson following the Klondike gold discovery and apparently did well there. In addition to prospecting, Northrup also worked as a steam engineer during his years in the North. Sources Pioneers of Alaska Men’s Igloo No. 6 Biographical Sketch.

Naghel, Charles Association: Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6 Role: Charter Member; President Year: President, 1915 Biography Charles Naghel was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6 of the Pioneers of Alaska and served as its president in 1915. Naghel was born in Roseville, California, on February 15, 1880. His father, Edward Nagel, was an actor, singer, dancer, and musician who traveled through the mining camps of California performing. After his mother died when he was in the fifth grade, his father removed him from school, and the family traveled widely through California until his father remarried. At the age of fifteen Naghel went to work in the steel rolling mills. When the Spanish–American War broke out in 1898, he joined the California Infantry at the age of eighteen. Although the war was short, he enrolled in a correspondence school in Pennsylvania while serving. After the war, he joined the United States Marines. In 1900, a contingent of Marines was sent to Sitka to quell an uprising between two Native tribes. Naghel lived in the Marine Barracks in Sitka, which later became the first Alaska Pioneers’ Home. During this period, he continued working toward his high school diploma through the Calvert Correspondence School. He met his future wife, Annetta Theresa Johnson, in Sitka in 1904 while she was employed as a musician aboard the S.S. Spokane. Naghel later resigned from the Marines and moved to Juneau, where he worked for the Alaska Steam Laundry, driving the horse wagon that picked up and delivered laundry throughout the community. During the 1905 tourist season, he proposed to Annetta. The couple married in Juneau on August 6, 1906. In 1907, the couple moved to Skagway, where Naghel worked for the United States Customs Service. They returned to Juneau in 1908 when their first child, Pat, was born. After a brief period living in Sitka, the family again settled in Juneau, where Naghel worked for Ross-Higgins Grocery and later for Charlie Goldstein’s store. He eventually secured employment with the United States Land Office, serving as a clerk for the U.S. Surveyor General’s Office. In that position, he was responsible for approving and paying federal debts within the Territory of Alaska. He held the position for many years and retired in 1942. Following retirement, Naghel spent much of his time at the family’s summer home in the Mendenhall Valley. He also continued bookkeeping work for Hazel Jaeger McKinnon’s Alaska Laundry.

Rowe Occupation / Association: Early resident connected with the Zenger pioneer family Associated places: Juneau, Alaska; Douglas, Alaska; Seattle, Washington; Madison, Wisconsin Family: Husband of Hilda Zenger Rowe; son-in-law of Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger; brother-in-law of Alfred Zenger Sr., Theresa Zenger Huehn, and Bertha Zenger Trudgeon Biography Eugene Allen Rowe became connected to one of Juneau’s early pioneer families through his marriage to Hilda Zenger, the youngest daughter of Juneau settlers Sebastian B. Zenger and Carrie Zenger. The Zenger family moved to Juneau in 1898, during the economic expansion associated with the Klondike gold rush, and became part of the developing community of Southeast Alaska. Rowe was born in 1894 in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of Richard Valentine Rowe and Maria Z. Miller. Like many young men of the early twentieth century, he traveled westward as new opportunities opened in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Migration between the continental United States and Alaska was common during the territorial period as workers, merchants, and families followed employment opportunities and expanding frontier settlements. In 1916, Eugene Allen Rowe married Hilda Zenger in Juneau. The marriage linked him with the extended Zenger family network that included Hilda’s siblings Alfred Zenger Sr., Bertha Zenger Trudgeon, and Theresa Zenger Huehn. Through these connections, Rowe became part of a group of families whose relationships extended between Juneau, Douglas, and other communities throughout Southeast Alaska. The Zenger family had established their home in downtown Juneau above the cigar manufacturing business operated by Sebastian Zenger and his son Alfred. Located at the southwest corner of Third and Main Streets, the building served both as a residence and a place of business, reflecting the common pattern of early frontier communities in which family life and commercial activity were closely intertwined. In 1919, Eugene and Hilda Rowe relocated to Seattle, Washington. Moves such as this were typical of many early Alaska families, who frequently traveled between Alaska and the Pacific Coast as economic conditions, employment opportunities, and family needs evolved. Although Rowe’s time in Juneau was relatively brief, his marriage to Hilda Zenger connected him to a family that played a role in the early commercial and social development of the capital city during Alaska’s territorial era. The Zenger family’s activities in business, family life, and community relationships formed part of the broader network of settlers who helped shape the early character of Juneau and Douglas.

Ripinski, Solomon Association: Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men's Igloo Role: Charter Member Biography Colonel Solomon Ripinski was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. Ripinski was born on April 15 in Rypin, Poland. He received a European education and attended several military schools where he studied drafting and developed considerable skill in sketching, drawing, and painting. He graduated with the rank of second lieutenant of cavalry. Because he was too young to enter service immediately, he traveled through many of Europe's principal cities before immigrating to the United States. After arriving in America, he traveled through the eastern and southern states before settling in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he engaged in merchandising. He later moved to Sacramento, California, where he opened an art studio and produced several oil paintings. In 1878, he relocated to Salem, Oregon, where he became active in the Oregon State Militia and quickly rose to the rank of colonel. That same year he received first prize from the Oregon State Fair Association and the Mechanics Fair in Portland for an emblematic Masonic chart. During the administration of Governor W. W. Thayer, he was appointed aide-de-camp on the governor’s staff with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Ripinski was also active in fraternal organizations, serving as a High Free Mason, a Sir Past Chancellor Commander of the Knights of Pythias, and later as a member of the Arctic Brotherhood. Ripinski came to Alaska in 1884 with the noted Arctic explorer Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka. Under Attorney General Haskett, he was appointed a clerk and, in 1885, was commissioned to establish a United States Government school in western Alaska. After being transferred from Unalaska to Chilkat, he served as principal of the government school there for one term. He later founded and owned the townsite of Haines Mission. From 1887 to 1890, he was associated with the Pyramid Harbor salmon cannery, and in 1890, he opened a general merchandise store in Chilkat, Alaska. In recognition of his work in the region, one of the nearby mountains was named for him. Mount Ripinsky, overlooking the Haines area, rises to an elevation of approximately 3,680 feet.

Edna and Ed Haley had two children, Dorothy and Donald. After the birth of her children, Edna became a homemaker primarily, though in later years she worked as a matron at the federal jail on Courthouse Hill in Juneau. Her second husband was Thomas G. “Carnation Tom” Radonich. Born September 19, 1869, in Dalmatia, Croatia, he came to the United States as a young man and arrived in Juneau around 1891.

He was the son of Jackson Rice and was born in Dubuque, Iowa on November 13, 1875. Rice came to the Alaska Territory in 1902, immediately after his ordination to the priesthood, which followed his graduation from Nashotah College and Seminary in Wisconsin. For the next fifteen years, he served as a missionary priest across Interior Alaska, traveling largely by dog team. His first churches were the missions of Circle City, Eagle, and Fort Yukon. His headquarters were at Circle, where the young minister also maintained a hospital serving the surrounding region. Not long after his arrival, Father Rice mushed by dog team to Fairbanks and preached the first sermon there in a tent saloon. Father Rice returned to Wisconsin and married Helen Benedict at the chapel of his alma mater at Nashotah on August 30, 1906. Their wedding trip was the long journey back to Circle City. They had two sons: Jackson Benedict Rice, born June 15, 1907, in Fairbanks, and Robert Gordon Rice, born October 13, 1908, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Father Rice traveled widely across Alaska by dog team and riverboat, serving churches in communities such as Skagway and Seward. He served in Seward from 1910 to 1917 and spent several years outside the territory prior to 1920. After returning to Juneau, he became Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral, where he was widely known as the Very Reverend Dean Rice. A family anecdote recalls that a neighbor, Dr. Kaiser, once brought home an English Bull Terrier but gave it to the Rice family after discovering the dog was deaf. Named Patsy Ann, the dog became well known around town and eventually earned the nickname “the town dog” for greeting ships arriving in Juneau harbor. Dean Rice served at Holy Trinity Cathedral until his retirement in 1944. After a year in Albany, Oregon, he returned to Southeast Alaska to supply nearby missions and again assist at Trinity before the arrival of Rev. Samuel A. McPheters.

The group traveled through remote areas of southeastern Alaska and the interior during a period when large portions of the territory remained poorly mapped and documented. Expeditions such as this contributed to the early geographic knowledge of Alaska and helped bring attention to the region through published accounts in newspapers and magazines of the period.
