Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of a mining complex, showing railroad tracks to the left, ca.1905. In the center background a mining complex is visible with walls separating what appear to be large compartments, while a bridge runs across the top at far right. To the left in the complex are curved railroad tracks and a few buildings. A chain-link and barbed-wire fence is visible running across the foreground below a second, roofed bridge which can be seen in the extreme foreground. In front of the chain-link fence a one-story, house-like structure is visible. Hills with desert shrubs are visible behind the complex.
