Biography
Joe Kinnon was active in early northern mining ventures. In the summer of 1894, Kinnon and Jack Dalton, on speculation, assembled mining equipment and supplies to sell in the thriving Forty-Mile placer camp in Alaska.
The men found a buyer long before reaching the Forty-Mile. The entire outfit was sold at the Pelly River, after which Kinnon elected to return to Haines, Alaska.
