Description
View of miners posing in front of the Phil Mott Mine in Siskiyou County ca. 1890 Phil Mott Mine on the Klamath River. The Klamath River has been crowded over toward the opposite bank to expose this part of the river bottom. The current wheel runs the two China pumps. Another wheel runs the bull drum of the hoist and two others dump water into sluices above the mine for washing the gravel. This mine operated for six months each of three years during low water. Those numbered are 1.) Phill Mott (6th from left), 2.) Fred Veterline (8th from left), 3.) Mary Mott (10th from left), 4.) Charles Veterline (3rd from right). Taken about 1889 to 1893
