Last Chance Mining Museum in Juneau, Alaska
The Jualpa Mining Camp, also known as the Last Chance Basin Camp, is a former gold mining camp, just outside the city of Juneau, Alaska. Its main building is now operated as the Last Chance Mining Museum by the Gastineau Historical Society. The camp was located on the southern banks of Gold Creek, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Juneau, near what is now the end of Basin Road. The camp was the site of one of the largest gold finds in the Juneau mining district. It was established between 1910 and 1913 by the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company and operated until 1944, producing more than $80 million worth of gold. The largest surviving structure of the camp is its air compressor building, which was 84 feet (26 m) long, and still houses the compressor used by the company. Also surviving are a variety of railroad-related resources, which the company used to bring or to its mill on the Gastineau channel, an electrical transformer house, powder magazine, and cable hoist.

up Gastineau Channel this afternoon from a boat fire near Aurora Harbor.The fire appears to be burning aboard a barge. Shortly after 2:30 p.m. an ambulance and three fire trucks
arrived on the scene. An emergency boat was in the water but had not approached the fire directly.The art and history of early quilts in Alaska are brought together in this
beautifully illustrated full color publication. The five chapters were written by Alaskan scholars, historians and quiltmakers. Each chapter features quilts registered during the Alaska
Quilt Survey project that spanned ten years and covered Nome to Ketchikan. How the quilts are intertwined with Alaska's cultural and social history is explored against a backdrop of
the boom and bust cycles of the 49th state. Stories of early quiltmakers who pioneered Alaska, and those who brought quilts as family heirlooms unfold with captivating detail. The
development of quiltmaking on the Last Frontier, and its connection to quilting traditions of Lower 48 states is compared. Cross-cultural influences shared between western
quiltmakers and Native groups in Alaska is also examined. One chapter is dedicated to Native quiltmaking and includes the fascinating use of quilts in traditional Nelson Island Eskimo
culture.
