Jualin Mine
Following the end of the war, the mine was purchased by a new company named the Southeastern Alaska Mining Corporation, which aimed to put the mine back into service. This effort failed, however, and the mine remained unused until the late 20th century, when Coeur Alaska, a subsidiary of Coeur Mining, purchased mining rights to the Jualin and nearby Kensington mines. Today, Coeur Alaska leases the Jualin from Hyak Mining Company, which owns the property. The Jualin site is home to administration and support buildings for the Kensington mine, but Coeur Alaska is exploring the Jualin site for mining potential. From 1896 to 1919, 36,000 troy ounces (1,100 kg) of gold were extracted from the mine, making it the fourth most-productive mine in the Juneau Mining District (behind Alaska-Juneau (AJ), Perseverance and Treadwell) before the modern era.
