Description:
Cabinet card photo of four miners, including Juneau, "Knowels."

Image of four men posing on proper right. Two men on proper left in background. There are wooden structures on the proper right behind the men, and they are standing on a wooden boardwalk.
The men are labeled (from left to right): Joe Farnsworth, J.M. Davis, Thos. Knowles (correctly spelled Nowell), and Joe Juneau.

On back: "group of miners, Juneau Alaska."
Notes:
"Knowles" is almost certainly "Nowell" spelled wrong. Jim Geraghty believes this image is taken at the Red Mill? Redman says it wasn't used until 1900?
