JUNEAU
OF

HISTORY
back
as
far
as
the
days
of
Captain
Vancouver,
who
was
the
first
navigator
to
explore
and
sur--
-
vey
the
area
in
1794.
It
was
not,
however,
until
1880,
that
Juneau
was
first
heard
of,
as
a
community.
In
that
year,
two
prospectors,
Richard
Harris
and
Joe
Juneau
struck
gold,
and
the
strike
was
rich
enough
to
attract
a
stampede
out
of
which
grew
the
future
capital
city.
A
year
after
the
original
discovery,
quartz
locations
were
made
on
Douglas
Island,
opposite,
and
here
the
famous
Treadwell
mine
produced
