He arrived at [illegible] early this
morning and got to Juneau
about noon. It is pretty cold
here and snow drifts are still
to be found in the streets and
icebergs in the harbor. The
men at the Treadwell mines are

seems to be resorted to.

Spent most of the day in buying
supplies and getting our things
together. There was a snow storm on
the mountains last night and the
trees were covered making them
prettier than Christmas trees. I went
over to the Capital Building this
morning. It is quite a nice building
and is placed right on top of a rocky
hill which was blasted off in order
to make room for it. It is also a
magnificent old bald eagle flying
about over his harnit back of the
town.
