Notes:
Ready Bullion Mine operated from 1881 to 1926. More at risk from flooding than the Treadwell, 700 Foot or Mexican mines, it was bulkheaded & thus only 1 of 4 Treadwell mines not destroyed in 1917 cave—in.
J.B. Caro & Co. began business in Juneau between 1903 & 1907 according to Yukon Terr. Gazetter, directory during those years.
