After month, gold found somewhere in Alaska (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

juneau

'somewhere in alaska' is the definition.
(I know that Juneau capital of Alaska)

'after month gold' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'month' becomes 'june' (June is an example).
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'june' next to 'au' is 'JUNEAU'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for juneau that I've seen before include "Capital of Alaska" , "Alaskan port" , "state capital" .)
