Paul T. Mizony (b. 1881)
	
The Mizony family made five trips into the Yukon between 1897 and 1902. They opened restaurants at Skagway and the Chilkoot Pass Scales during the winter of 1897-98; a store at Lindeman in the spring, and finally sold produce in the Dawson streets. Between the spring of 1899 and the autumn of 1900, they sold goods to newcomers and purchased equipment from disillusioned stampeders. They stayed at Bennett for 15 months in 1899-1900 buying and selling from the Atlin stampeders. Each trip terminated in Dawson. Paul returned home with little profit in 1902.((Morris Zaslow, //The Opening of the Canadian North, 1870 - 1914.// Toronto: McClelland and Stewart Ltd., 1971: 117.)) The Mizony family (I.T., Marie, and 18-year-old Paul) were photographed in front of their store at Lake Bennett in the winter of 1899.((Margretta Gaundroue collection, Yukon Archives, 82/219, photo caption list.))
