<p>Perseverance is on the southeast side of Silver Bow Basin, 3 miles east of Juneau.  It is a former mining camp named about 1885 by miners for the Perseverance claim and mine.  A mill and other and other buildings of the camp were destroyed by a snowslide in 1895.  The mining camp remained in existence until 1921 when the mine was closed. [Source:  Donald Orth.
