Observing the pre-Klondike gold activity in the Circle and Forty-Mile Districts and the resulting need for reliable freighting in the Yukon region, John Malony and Jack Dalton organized a partnership in 1895 to operate the Dalton Trail Company.
The company was formed with additional partners E. B. Hanley, Fred Norvell, and Henry Bratnober. The enterprise provided freighting services along the Dalton Trail and into the Yukon mining districts, supporting prospectors and miners working in the region before the Klondike gold rush.
