  JUNEAU. An incorporated city, the metropolis of Alaska, is located on
Gastineau Channel, opposite Douglas island, 900 miles from Seattle, Wash. and
110 miles from Skagway. It was settled in 1880 and derives its name from Joseph
Juneau, a Canadian Frenchman, who discovered gold in the vicinity about that
time. It is the location of the first district of the U S court of Alaska and a
U S customs office, The last enactment of congress regarding the government of
Alaska reads: "An act making further provision for the civil government for
Alaska and for other purposes." Title 1. chapter 1, section 1. Seat of
Government. —That the territory ceded to the United States by Russia, by the
treaty of March 30, 1867, and known as Alaska, shall constitute a civil and
judicial district, the government of which shall be organized and administered
as hereinafter provided. The temporary seat of government of said district is
hereby established at Juneau. Provided, that the seat of government shall remain
at Sitka until suitable grounds and buildings thereon shall be obtained by
purchase or otherwise at Juneau. The town has good buildings and stores,

the vicinity employing over 4,000 men and producing over $3,000,000 in gold
