Notes:
Gold Creek and Ebner Mill 003??
Although identified as the Ebner Mill here, the building seen in the photo was constructed by the California—Nevada Copper Mining Company. They purchased the Ebner mines in 1908 with plans to build a 100—stamp mill. Work was started on the mill in 1910 but framework and equipment was not moved to the site until 1912. Unfortunately, continued financial problems stopped all work. The company did succeed in starting a tunnel that is now referred to as the Ebner adit. The Ebner Gold Mining Company went into receivership in 1913. This knob of Mount Roberts (seen today directly across the creek from the Ebner Falls picnic area on Perseverance Trail,) contained the richest ore ever mined in Juneau's history. If a person stood on the roof of the Takou Union bunkhouse (peaked roof and chimney facing away from Ebner's tipple in the center) a slingshot could hit six different mills: Johnson, Takou Union, Ebner, California—Nevada, Dora and Humboldt (aka Webster.)
