JUNEAU HISTORIC GOLD-PANNING AND MINING
TOUR
The Alaska-Juneau Mine proved to be the most successful of the three
hard-rock gold mines that developed from this discovery. It operated for
more than 50 years, located behind the now-existing city of Juneau. At
its peak, the mill employed 1,000 men to process 12,000 tons of ore a
day. It closed down in 1944, as wartime labor shortages made mining
difficult and never re-opened.
