Photograph of a large, gold mine building standing on a hillside in Juneau, Alaska. The photograph appears to tilt downward to the left. A sliver of a ship is visible in the lower right corner. Rigging stretches from it and up towards center. Beyond the boat, the waters of Gastineau Channel stretch across the mid-ground. It is lined by Juneau's shore. Wharfs and buildings stand across the shore. Steam or smoke billows at far right. At center and up a slope, a large, gold mine building is built into the side of the hill. It is viewed at an angle from the front. The building is tiered up the hillside. Long, narrow passageways stretch from the uppermost level and out wide to each side. The tree-covered hill it sits upon rises behind it.

The rail and side of the ship stretches back along the left edge in the foreground. Mertie West leans over the rail with her back to camera as she looks towards the mine. The waters of the Gastineau Channel extend from the boat and to the right. In the distance, the shoreline stretches across the image. Left-of-center and slightly up a hill, a large, gold mine building is built into the side of the hill. It is viewed at an angle from the front. The building is tiered up the hillside. Long, narrow passageways stretch from the uppermost level and out to each side. The tree-covered hill it sits upon rises behind it.
