A view of Juneau looking south from downtown in the 1930's. The
gutted Goldstein Building in the foreground is the former location of
the KINY studios. The building was destroyed by fire in 1939 and later
rebuilt. In the distance, the Alaska Juneau Mine can be seen rising up
the mountains on the left, and a peninsula of rock tailings from the
mine can be seen extending out into the Gastineau Channel. KINY built
their second antenna and transmitter site near the end of the
peninsula. The dumping of rock on this peninsula was discontinued in
the 1930's, and it was later dumped by barge into the middle of the
channel. Operations at the A-J mine were discontinued in 1944.
