Description
Photograph of hydraulic mining in a canyon, place unknown, ca.1880-1920. Several men can be seen at the bottom of the rock wall where piles of rocks sit next to what appears to be a mining track. In the top left corner a stream of water emerges out of the mountain reaches a pile of rocks at the bottom. Just below the endpoint of the first stream a second stream appears to emerge near a shed and splashes against a small hill towards the center. Pieces of wood are scattered around the site with patches of bushes and trees in the foreground on the left.
