Scope & Content:
Blue—green card with side — by — side photos of same street scene in Juneau. Photos are black and white, colorized with green, red, blue and brown. Both pictures depict Front / S. Franklin Sts. Street is dirt and has raised board walkway upon which people are standing and walking to stores. Pictures taken at slightly different angles so when viewed through stereoscope, they appear 3—D. Inscription under proper left photo: "1326. STREET ON OCEAN FRONT, JUNEAU CITY ALASKA."
Back: "No. 1326. STREET ON OCEAN FRONT, JUNEAU CITY, ALASKA. / Looks a little different from Broadway or Michigan avenue, doesn't it? But the / location of Juneau is such that it will probably remain on important place as an outfitting / station for miners, and it has a considerable trade in Alaska furs, such as sea—otter, otter, / seal, beaver, bear, muskrat, fox, etc. Here you may also buy one of the famous Chilkat / blankets, made of the hair of a mountain goat and colored with native dyes, but a genuine / article costs from $60.00 to 100.00 and most of these offered for sale are made of sheep's / wool and are stained with aniline dyes. A little north of Juneau is a village of the Auk Indians, / very primitive, very dirty, and very curious. There is a native cemetery with queer little / huts containing the cremated remains and personal effects of the deceased. From Juneau to Silver Bow Mines it is but three and one—half miles, and the road is a good one, leading / through the highly picturesque canon of the Gold Creek. The famous Treadwell Gold / Mine is on Douglas Island, nearly opposite Juneau. It is close to the wharf. This mine has / ore of the largest quartz—crushing mills in the world, employing 900 stamps."
