Joseph A. Segbers was the manager of the North American Transportation & Trading Klondike Mill Co. in 1901.((Claire Eamer and Antonia Zedda, "The Yukon Saw Mill Company: Last of the Gold Rush Sawmills." Yukon Government, 1997: 30.)) Segbers and John R. Howard established the Northern Lumber Co. on Klondike Garden Island in 1903, upriver from Klondike Island and Dawson. They milled construction grade lumber for housing and mining.((Claire Eamer and Antonia Zedda, "The Yukon Saw Mill Company: Last of the Gold Rush Sawmills." Yukon Government, 1997: 30.)) 

In 1903, Segbers was the manager of the Klondike City Bridge Co. and the Klondike Mill.((//Ferguson Gazeteer,// 1903.)) In 1907/08 he was mining.((//Polks Gazetteer,// 1907/09.)) In 1909/10, he was the proprietor of the Fairview Hotel in Dawson. In 1911/12, he was the owner and proprietor of the Yukonia Hotel.((Journal of the Yukon Council. Report of the Chief License Inspector, 31 March 1911. Sessional Papers No. 1. 31 March 1911: 14; //Polks Gazetteer,// 1911/12.)) The Yukonia was on Queen Street and First Avenue. The hotel advertised steam heat and had a grill room attached.(("Hotel Directory." //Dawson Daily News// (Dawson), 19 August 1913.)) Rebecca B. Segbers, Joseph’s wife, ran the Yukonia Hotel with her husband. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Livermore, California.

Her body was sent to Livermore where she is buried.((The Maritime Museum of British Columbia, //SS Princess Sophia: Those Who Perished.// 2018: 96.))
	
By 1909, the O’Brien Brewing and Malting Company was in trouble as Dawson was experiencing a severe decline in population. The company took over the Red Feather Saloon to cut out the middleman. William O’Brien sold out his holdings in the brewery to Joseph Segbers in 1915.((Michael Gates, "It was the beer that made Klondike famous." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 30 May 2014.)) Segbers appointed F. Vinnicomb to manage the company. The sale of alcohol was suspended in the territory in 1919.((“O’Brien Brewing and Malting Company.” //Wikipedia,// 2019 website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Brien_Brewing_and_Malting_Company)) The last meeting of the shareholders was held in 1919. In 1933 the production line was dismantled and shipped to Fairbanks.((Michael Gates, "It was the beer that made Klondike famous." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 30 May 2014.)) 
	
In May 1939, the Yukonia Hotel was being rebuilt under the supervision of proprietor Jos. Segbers, onetime millwright, and pioneer carpenter Ben Porter.((//The Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 5 May 1939.))
